    WOW!!! Last week Kashif approached me about writing a state of house music in hartford piece in a magazine he was starting. Without editorializing any further, this seems like a much better forum. It is ALWAYS better to be busy doing work than talking about how great you are or who you made or helped. Hartford has a long history of underappreciated talent from Lucien Grillo and David Shaw, to John Trienis and John McMann, to the djs from Sanctuary, Commercial Street, Dagny's, Riot, Comet, Club Car, Mission, Loft Chez Est and BWNN who lived house music in all of it's incarnations. Don't forget the college radio heads who put it down like Charles Henry and Mike Johnson and Mike Nyce. No one person deserves credit for Hartford's resurgent scene but we all share some responsibility in telling the truth about the scene and working together to make it better and stronger.

    For the record, Joe Ventura and Jeff Romanowski were the original residents at BWNN. I came after them and was there the longest; Dave Dresden was there with me when Radio 104 had a mixshow. Joe Ventura is a very successful mortgage broker in Beacon Falls and Jeff Romanowski works at one of casinos and is doing quite well. Kris Kono was never a BWNN resident but was a "1" resident. I did in fact book my friends Danny Tenaglia, Erick Morillo, DJ Camacho, Teri Bristol and Victor Calderone for True Faith Sundays at BWNN. A local hairdresser flamed me in print before the Danny Tenaglia show claiming I was homophobic so the show got boycotted. 226 people showed up to see Danny Tenaglia tear it up while 3 times that saw Dave Dresden and Jonathan Peters do their thing with Maa Bell. Life is strange...

    In any event, Lynn Collins wasn't totally right; it takes more than two to make the thing go right. House needs ALL the help it can get in Hartford. It needs to get more mature and more professional to grow. All this dissing and fussing is REALLY counterproductive. Let's try to make some shit happen. Hip hop people don't love all of their constituents but they tend to agree that they love the music. Let that be the focus. No disrespect to anyone but it has been a long time since a dj could carry a club in CT. It's not because the djs are not good enough, it's because we have allowed the rave-ification of the scene to compartmentalize house into discrete factions that don't cross over. The beauty of clubs like RIOT, and to a lesser extent Loft and BWNN, is that the dj determined the playlist. The internet wasn't dictating what was hot, and individuality was appreciated and cultivated. DJs could play C & C Music Factory, Green Velvet, DJ Dan and Barbara Tucker in the same set all night long. Try to name one club that successfully plays deep house, tribal, progressive, techno and latin house on a regular basis. That should be the norm and would guarantee that house not be relegated to "underground" or "specialist" status. House music is not for weirdos; Europe and Australia and Japan, etc have avid fans. We just have to do a better job of making sure house is presented properly and that we get a balanced diet of sounds.

    To much electronica is sure to spoil the broth; you gotta be soulful sometime!

    Mad love and respect to Bora Celik for helping put Hartford BACK on the map. DJ Joe Giucastro was attracting a healthy following from NYC and Boston for his programming and selection almost 20 years ago; we need to get back to Hartford resident djs being able to hold down a floor like djs in NYC, DC, Miami, Providence, etc. This market will not achieve it's potential until it can create it's own turntable superstars. We need to learn to support our own AND the hots djs out there who should be large in Hartford like DJ Disciple, Miguel Migs, Lord G, Doc Martin, Alton Miller, Todd Terry, Pete Moss, Tedd Patterson, Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Masters At Work, David Morales, Pal Joey, Lenny Fontana, Steve Hurley, Jellybean Benitez, etc.

    I hope we can take all this negativity and direct it towards some positive activity in Hartford. Don't hate, just put people in check. Create something real and positive and let your motive for doing it be wanting to expose good music to good people. All this personality stuff gets boring. I just want to be able to go out and hear some djs play with passion and fire and intelligence who want to be good djs and are students of the dj game. I hear a lot of dj name dropping these days but I wonder how many folks actually go out of their way to see these djs play live. There are 100's of very good djs that most people have never heard of. Do yourself and Hartford a favor and go see them and bring them to Hartford or at least expose them to your friends.

    It's still early and there is time to make 2007 the year house returned to Hartford. I hope we put the egos in check and represent for the music and those who go to great trouble and personal expense to make this beautiful music available to Hartford. Make love and house music. Don't let shady promoters or unprofessional managers/owners dilute the scene. Stop bitching and start supporting Flipside and Sunday School and any other righteous house music event and bring 10 of your friends. Ain't no party like a house party!!

  14. if youre bored read thid RULES AT THE BAR

    in Connecticut

    Posted

    There's more to it then tipping a glass and acting foolish.

    1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.

    2. Always toast before doing a shot.

    3. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast.

    4. Change your toast at least once a month.

    5. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.

    6. Buying a strange woman a drink is not really cool. Buying all her drinks is dumb.

    7. Never borrow more than one cigarette from the same person in one night.

    8. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails.

    9. Get the bartender's attention with eye contact and a smile.

    10. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if you do not want a drink.

    11. Unacceptable things to say after doing a shot: Great, now I'm going to get drunk. I hate shots. It's coming back up.

    12. Never, ever tell a bartender he made your drink too strong.

    13. If he makes it too weak, order a double next time. He'll get the message.

    14. If you offer to buy a woman a drink and she refuses, she does not like you.(...which means: STOP TRYING)

    15. If you offer to buy a woman a drink and she accepts, she still might not like you.

    16. If she buys you a drink, she likes you.

    17. If someone offers to buy you a drink, do not upgrade your liquor preference.

    18. Always have a corkscrew in your house.

    19. If you don't have a corkscrew, push the cork down into the bottle with a pen.

    20. Drink one girly drink in public and you will forever be known as the guy who drinks girly drinks.

    21. Our parents were better drinkers than we are.

    22. Never talk to someone in the restroom unless you're doing the same thing—urinating, waiting in line or washing your hands.

    23. Girls hang out, apply make-up, and have long talks in the bathroom. Men do not.

    24. After your sixth drink, do not look at yourself in the mirror. It will shake your confidence.

    25. It is only permissible to shout 'woo-hoo!' if you are doing a shot with four or more people.

    26. If there is a d.j., you can request a song only once per night. If he doesn't play it within half an hour, do not approach him again. If he does play it, do not approach him again.

    27. Learn how to make a rose out of a bar napkin. You'll be surprised how well it works.

    28. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to drink in a bar. Go to the liquor store. (e.g. $1 is not a sufficient tip on a $20 bar tab. and don't kid yourself into thinking that no one but the bartender will know either. It's not like they're bound by some code of tip anonymity.....hehe)

    29. If you owe someone twenty dollars or less, you may pay them back in beer.

    30. Never complain about the quality or brand of a free drink.

    31. If you have been roommates with someone more than six months, you may drink all their beer, even if it's hidden, as long as you leave them one.

    32. You can have a shot of their hard liquor only if the cap has been cracked and the bottle goes for less than $25.

    33. The only thing that tastes better than free liquor is stolen liquor.

    34. If you bring Old Milwaukee to a party, you must drink at least two cans before you start drinking the imported beer in the fridge.

    35. Learn to appreciate hangovers. If it was all good times every jackass would be doing it.

    36. If you ever feel depressed, get out a bartender's guide and browse through all the drinks you've never tried.

    37. Try one new drink each week.

    38. If you are the bar's sole customer, you are obliged to make small talk with the bartender until he stops acknowledging you. Then you're off the hook. The same goes for him.

    39. Never tip with coins that have touched you. If your change is $1.50, you can tell the barmaid to keep the change, but once she has handed it to you, you cannot give it back. To a bartender or cocktail waitress, small change has no value.

    40. If you have ever told a bartender, "Hey, it all spends the same," then you are a cheap ass.

    41. Anyone on stage or behind a bar is fifty percent better looking.

    42. You can tell how hard a drinker someone is by how close they keep their drink to their mouth.

    43. A bar is a college, not a nursery. If you spill a beer, clean it up. If you break a glass, wait for a staff member to clean it up, then blame it on someone else.

    44. Being drunk is feeling sophisticated without being able to say it.

    45. It's okay to drink alone.

    46. After three drinks, you will forget a woman's name two seconds after she tells you. The rest of the night you will call her "baby" or "darling".

    47. Nothing screams 'nancy boy' louder than swirling an oversized brandy snifter.

    48. Men don't drink from straws. Unless you're doing a Mind or Face Eraser.

    49. If you do a shot, finish it. If you don't plan to finish it, don't accept it.

    50. Never brood in a dance bar. Never dance in a dive bar.

    51. Never play more than three songs by the same artist in a row.

    52. Your songs will come on as you're leaving the bar.

    53. Never yell out jukebox selections to someone you don't know.

    54. Never lie in a bar. You may, however, grossly exaggerate and lean.

    55. If you think you might be slurring a little, then you are slurring a lot. If you think you are slurring a lot, then you are not speaking English.

    56. Screaming, "Someone buy me a drink!" has never worked. (ha! says you)

    57. For every drink, there is a five percent better chance you will get in a fight. There is also a three percent better chance you will lose the fight.

    58. Fighting an extremely drunk person when you are sober is hilarious.

    59. If you are broke and a friend is "sporting you", you must laugh at all his jokes and play wingman when he makes his move.

    60. If you are broke and a friend is "making sport of you", you may steal any drink he leaves unattended.

    61. Never rest your head on a table or bar top. It is the equivalent of voluntarily putting your head on a chopping block.

    62. If you are trading rounds with a friend and he asks if you're ready for another, always say yes. Once you fall out of sync you will end up buying more drinks than him.

    63. If you're going to hit on a member of the bar staff, make sure you tip well before and after, regardless of her OR HIS response.(I had to edit this as it was a bit sexist. Guys are not the only ones to hit on bartenders)

    64. The people with the most money are rarely the best tippers.

    65. Before you die, single-handedly make one decent martini.

    66. Asking a bartender what beers are on tap when the handles are right in front of you is the equivalent of saying, "I'm an idiot."

    67. Never ask a bartender "what's good tonight?" They do not fly in the scotch fresh from the coast every morning.

    68. If there is a line for drinks, get your goddamn drink and step the hell away from the bar.

    69. If there is ever any confusion, the fuller beer is yours.

    70. The patrons at your local bar are your extended family, your fathers and mothers, your brothers and sisters. Except you get to sleep with these sisters. And if you're really drunk, the mothers.

    71. It's acceptable, traditional in fact, to disappear during a night of hard drinking. You will appear mysterious and your friends will understand. If they even notice.

    72. Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they're sober. It's akin to a precocious five-year-old arguing the super-string theory with a physicist. 99.9% of the time you're wrong and either way you're going to come off as a jackass.

    73. If you bring booze to a party, you must drink it or leave it.

    74. If you hesitate more than three seconds after the bartender looks at you, you do not deserve a drink.

    75. Beer makes you mellow, champagne makes you silly, wine makes you dramatic, tequila makes you felonious.

    76. The greatest thing a drunkard can do is buy a round of drinks for a packed bar.

    77. Never preface a conversation with a bartender with "I know this is going to be a hassle, but . . ."

    78. When you're in a bar and drunk, your boss is just another guy begging for a fat lip. Unless he's buying.

    79. If you are 86'd, do not return for at least three months. To come back sooner makes it appear no other bar wants you.

    80. Anyone with three or more drinks in his hands has the right of way.

    81. If you're going to drink on the job, drink vodka. It's the no-tell liquor.

    82. There's nothing wrong with drinking before noon. Especially if you're supposed to be at work.

    83. The bar clock moves twice as fast from midnight to last call.

    84. A flask engraved with a personal message is one of the best gifts you can ever give. And make sure there's something in it.

    85. On the intimacy scale, sharing a quiet drink is between a handshake and a kiss.

    86. You will forget every one of these rules by your fifth drink.

    87. If you adore your bartender(s) repost this for everyone to read. Rules at a bar

  15. Haha Things Not To Say To A Dj

    in Connecticut

    Posted

    CHECK BELOW FOR YOUR REQUEST

    1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO!

    The D.J. has to play for more than one person...so, what you may hate may be another's favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to one way or another.

    2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A BEAT?

    BE SERIOUS! We know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of a beat!

    3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS...

    Please don't sing for the D.J.! They have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night. Do them a favor and DON'T give them a rendition of your favorite song!

    4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!

    Oh sure, you polled EVERYONE in the club and, as their spokesperson, you are requesting the song.

    5. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!

    If you are GOOD ENOUGH, you can get laid to anything!! (also been known as "buy the album and get laid for a month!")

    6. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!

    The only people who can get away with that statement write the D.J.'s paycheck!

    7. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANNA HEAR...WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

    It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the D.J. to recite the name of EVERY record in the booth!

    8. HEY YO, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!

    It is not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but, some people do anyway)! However, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement.

    9. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE TO IT IF YOU PLAY IT!

    The D.J. won't...I guess that blows a hole in that theory!

    SOME ASSORTED THINGS NOT TO SAY

    If you ask for a song and the D.J. says he just played it, DON'T SAY, "Well, I just got here." It makes absolutely no difference. DON'T SAY, "Is this the only kind of music you play?" If you go to a Chinese restaurant, you wouldn't ask for Italian food. Rock clubs play rock, alternative clubs play alternative, discos play disco, etc., etc., etc... If you ask for a song, BE SPECIFIC. DON'T SAY, "I wanna hear something, anything but this!" Try going to the bar and saying, "I wanna drink something, anything but this..." You can't complain if you're not SPECIFIC. HOWEVER, if you ARE specific and the D.J. says he doesn't have the song, DON'T SAY, "What?!! What do you mean you don't have it? What kind of D.J. are you? Why don't you get into the wonderful world of fast food! You obviously don't know what you're doing as a D.J.!"...

    HE MAY SHOOT YOU!!!

    Special Note

    A nightclub D.J. gets very little respect. They are expected to play everything for everybody. It is impossible to satisfy all to the people all of the time, yet club jocks are expected to do just that. If a radio jock tells his listeners a song is a hit, the majority of the people think it must be "because they said so on the radio." However, 80f the time, that same song was being played in a club long before the radio DISCOVERED the NEW song. So, give the D.J. a break! The next time you request a song, stop and

    THINK before you speak.

    And above all, if the DJ has one hand on the mixer, one hand on a TURNTABLE - wearing headphones,

    DON'T BUG HIM OR HER!!! "
