Frat Music
I was leaving the rec center yesterday, and I heard the radio edit of Rihanna’s song “S&M” echoing from a few blocks down frat row. (Or, as the City of Minneapolis calls it “Greek Letter Chapter House Historic District”.)
I find it difficult to understand how such a great public-broadcasting-of-music opportunity can be squandered. I mean, you’ve got these huge speakers pumping out gigantic amounts of sound to your peer group. You’ve got this opportunity to really get these people excited about what you are promoting: tonight’s party, spring, or a combination of the two (tonight’s spring party). You’re playing to a captive audience.
And you choose a song everyone has already heard.
What happened to DJs (amateur and otherwise) being excited about spreading new music? In this situation, how about something like “Miami 2 Ibiza (feat. Tinie Tempah)” by Swedish House Mafia?
No one ever consults me on this stuff.

So. It is one week later, same situation: I’m leaving the Rec, and I hear loud music from down the street. Guess what song they’re playing? MIAMI 2 IBIZA (FEAT. TINIE TEMPAH). The EXACT song I was talking about last week. Maybe more people read this than I realize.
I guess we’ll have to call this post null and void.
