…it’s their fans.
Sloan penned that line and I find its relevance far too often. This Saturday for example. LA RIOTS half, DANIEL LEDISKO headlined a Nutty Klub party. His set was a beat down in gym class, all sweaty and…
… juvenile. Everywhere you went a handful of children smashed into people. The party was bumpin but these fuckers didn’t get it. They could not understand that this was not mixed marshal arts practice. No joke. A few of them sparred in a corner. Glad the music made you a bit hyphy dickwads.
Others moshed and had to be broken up countless times. They never got kicked out though.
Maybe one kid did. Loads of people danced on the stage, next to and on top of LEDISKO. The decks were knocked about, records skipped. People tripped over monitors falling onto the dj. The stage would be cleared for a few minutes and then the same people would go on stage and the same thing repeated. At about 1:30 some stupid high school jockular reached out and tried to scratch with the live track. LEDISKO was furious - as any dj should have been. The assface that did it ran away into the crowd. A few mixes later it looked like DEDISKO pointed him out to some bouncers. After a few more mixes the stage filled again. Most of the time it was all fanny up there shaking it like they just didn’t care. It was fun to watch at first but eventually one of them stumbled over their egos and skipped the record. Repeatedly. Over and over. Once again, someone tripped over the floor monitor so bad LEDISKO had to catch him. This time the idiot nearly knocked the entire gear table over.
That’s when I left and I wondered if LEDISKO knows about this song:

Sometimes its hard not to think that when it’s minus 40 outside and all you want to do is have fun but some children who need to go back to grade school fuck it up. It’s too bad monkeys have no social skills. Thanks LA Riots for coming. Please lie and tell your friends you had fun so other fun djs can come here too. Maybe the dumb people will have to stay outside next time. For what it’s worth, your set knocked me on my ass on its own.
Here’s something to dance to.
