Deadmau5 is eloquent

December 17th, 2008 friskyRadio, friskyGeek Random Post of Wisdom | | | ##

Electronic Dance Music is a weird industry. There is a plague of unprofessionalism and basic lack of communication skills rampant all round. Its frustrating trying to just simply talk to some people and get things done. I could go on and on…

Luckily there is no shortage of douchebags and morons to keep things interesting once in a while. The latest one is producer that has a weird fettish with death and mice. He calls himself Deadmau5. Ive never been a fan of his but his latest comments about DJs is, well, a little weird:

“It puts me to fucking sleep to be quite honest, I don’t really see the technical merit in playing two songs at the same speed together and it bores me to fucking tears and hopefully with all due respect to the dj type that will fucking go the way of the dinosaur id like them to dis-a-fucking-pear. Joel continued, its so middle man,they’re like fucking lawyers. You need them, but they’re fucking ****s. God bless them they’re my number one customer right so I’m not gonna go diss every fucking DJ. But to say you become this massive up on a podium performer by playing other peoples productions at the same speed as someone else’s productions and fading between the two of them, I don’t get it.”

First reaction was: wow this guy is such an eloquent speaker. Obama should hire him as his speechwriter.

My second reaction is: Well, I refuse to even acknowledge and respond to such nonsense. For me to spend any more time on this blog would mean that I find his comments even worth commenting about. Im sorry, I dont argue with children and retarded people. I feel sorry for them.

What a bullshit.

It seems to be a typical case of tabloid junkie, as that man tries to explain in a message he wrote:

Seriously, the people of the news and journalists are miles away worst than the angriest of all dj’s or author. That people are very temperamental (this is not bad) and sometimes can say things that, in other context may sound odd.

And then, there it come the damn journalist to pick that once unintentional phrase to convert it something different…

Just my 2 cents. I don’t know Deadmau5 in person nor consider his music above average, muy I give him more credit than a MF journalist.

he says in his response: “this statement isn’t for you fucking elitist fuckheads who have nothing better to do with your internets.”

What a fucktard… Who does he think he is, Bush? Moron.

‘Stars’ should all have a media consultant as soon as they become ’stars’. What Deadfuck does there is the most secure way to destroy a career.

Turns out, there were two copies of the Mona Lisa painted on the very same day.

Museum experts are in the process of stripping away a cover of black over-paint which, when fully removed, will reveal the youthfulness of the subject they say. The final area of over-paint will come off in the next few days.

The original “Mona Lisa” hangs in the Louvre but the sitter looks older than her years as the varnish is cracked. The painting is so fragile that restoration or cleaning is deemed too risky. The Prado version, however, will show the sitter as she was: a young woman in her early 20s.

In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdan — who, since being emancipated, had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family — responded spectacularly by way of this letter.

A couple of dissenting views on my opinion of the megaupload shutdown:

Jonathan Coulton:

Along with all the illegal stuff happening on MegaUpload was some amount of completely legal stuff. People used MegaUpload to send large files around. Some number of those files were personal files owned by the people sending them. I have no idea what the ratio was, and probably it would be impossible to figure that out with any certainty, but let’s stipulate that it was a very large percentage of illegal activity, and only a very tiny percentage of the users were there for anything other than downloading content that they didn’t buy. Still, today that tiny percentage had something taken away from them, without warning, maybe just a service they liked using, but maybe a piece of digital media that belonged to them - if they uploaded something and didn’t keep a copy, that thing is now gone.

Julian Sanchez also has a good post about the larger SOPA / PIPA debate.

Thomas Friedman, whom I have had issues with in the past, is spot on in his latest column: The End of Average. In which he argues that workers and companies simply can not survive in this economy by merely being average.

In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra — their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment. Average is over.

This is the best news in a long time. When the Feds shut down the scumbag website Meaupload, they seized “Shotguns, a Rolls Royce Phantom and millions of dollars” from the owners. That Rolls Royce Phantom was paid for by me and countless other copyright owners like labels and artists who’s work they illegally shared on their site. These scumbags make money off our content by selling ads around the download links. I cant wait for the same thing to happen to other sites like YouSendIt, WeTransfer and countless others.
