In the infinite wisdom of our Lord Dog he has seen it fit to give me my own page to exert my sometimes under stated mumblings upon, probably because of the earache he gets off me. As and when I decide I want to share my soul with the world or just rant whilst walking off into the distance muttering under my breath this is where it will end up. And if you don't like it??? Tough its my page ;)

Here you will find Funny stuff, Serious Stuff, Reviews, News, and a general outlook on life from the highly imaginitive almost undecypherable mind of Sho and also very probably a few edits from Dog (Editor in Chief and Holy Carrier of the Beer Money)

A Sign of the Times.........?

When your a DJ how can you please all of the people all of the time?.........Simple you can't. I could fill a dance floor all night playing the same old floor fillers only to be told "its the same old stuff" or play new stuff no-one has heard of and have an empty floor, but somewhere in between there is a healthy balance.

In 1982 the "Belle Stars" said "this is a sign of the times" now I think I know what they meant. It seems to me that music is now driven by television and the "Kerrang generation" will only dance if they know the song back to front and know all the lyrics, why has it come to this?

In my youth you would go into town with your mates to small record shops such as "'ear 'ere " in Lancaster, you could browse the shelves for hours, listen to the latest releases and if you needed any help the bloke behind the counter was an unsurpassed fountain of musical knowledge. You didn't have to know the tune to buy a record, you'd part with your money if you liked the look of the cover. Every spare penny I had went on buying music, and the closest thing you got to a download was sitting on a sunday evening listening to the charts with your fingers on the record button of you dads "Hi-Fi" trying not to get part of a Radio 1 jingle on your tape.

Times have changed and kids these days can get music at the click of a mouse but the thing is they have to know it by name or artist so unless "Kerrang" of "Scuzz" play something new they will never hear all the rest of the tunes that are out there.

The moral to this story..........Simple. If your friendly neighbourhood DJ plays something you don't know don't immediately dismiss it as being S*ite, have a listen, tap your feet, maybe even dance if you like it, that track may in future become a floor filler in its own right but someone has to make that first move. Your DJ is not only there to entertain but to educate and there are only so many "Pantera, Rammstein, Metallica, etc tracks that can be played in one evening.

Spread your horizons, open your eyes. You never know, you might enjoy it .
