Grumpy Old DJs
Bill Brewster, Mixmag, 2006
IS IT STILL financially viable to employ a butler to carry one's record valise? Why can't you get wooden slipmats any more? Is 45rpm a dangerously fast speed for a record? Are bouncers getting younger (and prettier)? Why is there a woman's shoe on top of every bus shelter? What happened to white dog poo? Are DJs grumpy old sods?
