Hang the DJ, put him out of his misery.

Here I am, huddled up in blankets on what turned out to be a beautiful Christmas day.
A recap of last night is in order, for the Heebonism event I DJ'd.
Really fun time, really beautiful bar. The new issue of Heeb looks amazing. The 5 free Grey Goose and sodas I had were quite nice, and the mini latkes from Brad Rubin of Eleven City Diner were fabulous.
Of course, as any night DJing, the inevitable request I could not fill came up. However, this one was a little bit harder the handle.
A girl, straightened hair, loads of make up, etc. comes up to me reaches over into the DJ booth to shake my hand and says hi my name is so and so, and continues to grip my hand.
She goes on to say that she represents some of the top DJ's in Chicago, names a bunch of names I really don't know and have never heard. Guy's that I am sure are great at what they do, so great they have a person that "handles" them.
After naming her list of clients, she takes a quick turn from professional to cutthroat.
Notice, I am putting the following into quotation marks, because it is indeed EXACTLY what she said.
" We are dying out here. Are you going to play any house or bass?"
This took me surprise. Maybe because the worst requests are usually totally obscure, or something like "more 80's", and it usually by the second drunkest person in the club, bar, party, etc.
I have never really had anybody come up to me with their professional credentials and tell me they are unhappy with what they are hearing.
Still being somewhat new to the area, I tried to be as polite and to the point as possible.
"I don't really know any of the dj's you just mentioned, and maybe it's because I'm from New York, but where I come from, if there are as many people dancing as there are now, I will continue playing what I'm playing."
Then she told me my music sucked, and walked away.
DJing seems really glamorous to some people, and in truth, it's awesome. I love it, but something about people dis-liking your music selection really stings.
All in all, it was a really amazing time, but I would like to pass this on to most people who frequent places where a people DJ.
Leave DJ's alone. There is a pretty great chance they are not going to radically alter what they are playing because you want to try and go on a mini-power trip and change things.
Okay a few other things
1. I like it when people know what Im playing. I think it's awesome. It makes me sort of smile when a person keeps coming up to the booth and dropping the name of whatever is being played.
I know some people hate it, but I think it's encouraging.
2. Fist pumping on the dance floor needs to make a comeback.
3. I am totally not a club person. I wish I was more. I don't know what it is.
4. I wish people liked Boney M more. Rasputin is one of the greatest songs ever.
Thats really all I have.
