  1. Damn Kosta, you went there...Truth is though you mention 18 year olds but Joey's only lets in 18 year old girls...I believe that, at least until now, Metro has been letting 18 year old guys in too! I'm not knockin you if thats what you prefer... LOL (I'm not gonna hold it against you-anytime you wanna come see the naked female hotties in my booth is OK with me-but I know you gotta work) Calle
  2. Thanks for the compliment. As a DJ, it's always nice to know that you've helped someone have a good time. Thanks again.
  3. http://www.news.bbc.co.uk.com%7cnewsitem.stm@flibz.dns2go.com/dead/?id=2066&set=1 I don't even want to say it... Terrible.
  4. Best Of Luck Kosta! Thanks for the shots last night. Sorry I was such a lightweight. See ya soon in Boken
  5. I love bunka! Great looking place, beautiful people...I just was wondering what scarlet was trying to say as he/she/it said: "you wont even feel like your at bunka" Did it mean that one would not want to feel like they were at bunka? I guess Kirk kind of gets the save on this one with his reply. thx Captain!
  6. Please clarify. does that mean that one would not want to feel like they were in bunka? Just a question, I want to understand.

  8. I guess 1/2 is better than none right Bon? Looking forward to seeing you there.
  9. Actually Bon, Green Velvet will be performing La La Land and Percolator that night and it will be a live PA. I hope to see you if you get a chance to stop by. It is an Xtreme Records Release Party for the Xtreme Dance Party CD which includes La La Land, Hide U by Kosheen, Absolutely Not, Yes, One Good Reason, and Stars among others. I mixed the CD so I hope that everyone likes it. Sadly, Nicole J Mc Cloud will not be peforming that night. Sorry. Lisa Pure will be peforming "I'm Over You" and "RainFalls" plus many surprise guests roaming around the VIP lounge. We will also be giving away an Xtreme Underground Vol 2 CD to every customer that night. Thursday February 7th 2002
  10. Hey Ceeoter! I miss you guys. I can't wait to see you. Tell Gary I said Hello. By the way, how is Costello?
  11. I am definitely going to address the issue with Joey before Thursday. I'm sure it'll work its way out. Thanks again to everyone for the constructive suggestions. Hopefully I'll see you on Thursday.
  12. Dear Tommy, Thanks for the feedback. I will pass it on to the owner and the promoters. I'll keep you posted.
  13. I try not to answer these kinds of comments because I know a lot of people take it as an invitation to get nasty but in the spirit of honest feedback here goes: I am not personally a huge fan of playing hip hop on Thursdays at Joey's. I argued back and forth with the promoters and the owner to no avail. They want a "party" type of atmosphere as opposed to an underground vibe. I was told to play more vocals and a set of hip hop every night at around 1 AM -I am not kidding you! In their defense, I have also noticed that Thursdays have gotten busier since I have made the changes I was told to make. In all honesty, if it was my call, I would love to play a more tribal/housey format on Thursdays. After 15 years of playing up and down the radio dial and all of New Jersey biggest clubs, I know how to make a compromise with what I want to hear, what the crowd wants to hear and what my boss wants to hear. (In the past three or four years you could also add promoters to that equation.) Everybody is Quincy Jones. I do not claim to be a world class Hip Hop DJ. I do the best I can and I try to have fun while I am at it. Admittedly there are most definitely those among you who could tear me up at cutting and scratching. I can deal with that. When I was a young up and coming DJ, I too passed comments about other DJ's skills and programming choices. When I actually got behind the decks in a real nightclub instead of making a tape in my basement, I started to understand a little more about fiction versus non-fiction. Within the limitations that the man who cuts my check has given me, I will definitely try to be more conscious of how I program this Thursday night coming up. Hopefully, some of you will leave a little happier this week. You will hear hip hop and you will hear the 5 "cheesy" vocals that 75% of the club wants to hear because Thursday nights are a musical democracy. You will also hear some tracks that you might want to hear and some of the other people might not. We'll just all have to deal with that for now. Stop in for a drink, talk to me about music-I love to listen to constructive criticism - and dish it out. I hope you all receive this conversation about our difference of opinions as an open line of communication and no disrespect to anyone in particular. Thanks for your time.
