Yall. I was reading in some blogs that DJ AM came out to some Spooky Halloween Concert dressed as a Daft Punk Robot and then pretended to be the Daft Punk by playing the Daft Punk mp3s from his MacbookLappy. Wonder if there's gonna be any legal repercussions for what he did. Don't understand why he 'dressed up' since his personal brand is so strong these days (post-escaping death).
I nvr really knew much about DJAM, but then I read a sentence about him and how he keeps escaping death at a progressive gossip blog:
If you look at his history, he survived being molested as a child, emotionally eating himself to 360 pounds, smoking crack, an attempted suicide when the bullet jammed in the gun he had to his head, unprotected sex with lots of shady girls and the lead singer of Crazy Town, a one hit wonder band DJ AM was part of, gastric bypass surgery, dating Nicole Richie and pretending to like it, being a glorified Top 40 bar mitzvah DJ and not getting shot by the hip hop gangsters when he claimed to be hip hop, a plane crash, a blood clot (boh boh), dating Jessica Stam and her mental capacity of a hamster.
Do yall know if death will ever catch up with DJ AM?
Did he put on a Daft Punk costume to prove that he wasn't human after all?
Is DJ AM the most gifted musician of the 21st century?
Will Crazytown rise again?
Should I get gastric bypass surgery 'just 2 b safe'?

Also... is this BOYZ NOIZE altbro the ultimate ElectroBlogAltBro?
Just want to take a course at my local community college where they teach us how to design/engineer costumes which bring to life the myspace symbology of my fave bloghause electro producer band.
I have dreams of opening up an alternative costume shop.
Yall. I read at the Daily Swarm that some magazine called "DJ Magazine" came out with their top 100 DJs of 2k8. While I am not a big electroHouseDisco Music buff, I feel like I should know more people on this list.
SNUBBED//WRONGED//FUCKT OVR//
I just don't understand why my BlogCentric view of electro music didn't make a bigger splash on this list. Does most of the world listen to guido+eurotrashCore 'techno' music? Am I an unEducated electroFan? Does the music that I listen to 'not matter' in the context of 'authentic electronic' music?
I have made the bloghouse/mainstreamLectro bands that appeal to me GREEN.
Everything is that is guidoCore/electronica/technoh0use/authentic techno is RED.

Doesn't the amount of red scare yall? I'm just tired of the guidoTechno house DJs getting all of the attention. They play music like this:
I feel like it's my responsibility as one of the world's leading sources for Trivial Electro and Blog House music to make a list that does a better job of representing the world's most Bloggable Electro DJs who appeal to People Who Read 2 Many Blogs and have an Alternative Perspective on the World. HRO's Top DJs of 2k8.
These are the World's Best DJs
Please feel free to let me know how you feel about this list. I just want yalls input.
Who are blogville's most relevant DJs? Which DJs probably cost the most?
Are u tired of all of the guidoHouseTechno DJs getting all of the attention? (Are they more authentic than bloggy electro DJs who have capitalized on the entrylevel alt population growth spurt?)
But SRSLY, doesn't it piss u off when ur local DJ seems like he'd rather be any where else than playing at your local ElectroParty?

If u could have a DJ set by n e 1 in the w0rld, who would it be?
A new theme that HRO will continue to explore is coping with tragedy. As the internet evolves, our society (and tweens) are finding modern ways to cope with loss and/or tragedy. For example, there were the infamous 9-11 alts who ended up on their city's local news. Was wearing replicas of the World Trade center too much, or was their perspective just too progressive for most people?
Is there an authentic space that exists where we can truly pay our respects by honoring our genuine perception of the event? Where is the line between 'funnie', 'inappropriate' and 'as terrible as it could possibly get' when it comes to modern coping.
Here is this video tribute to DJ AM & Travis Barker. They were in an accident that you wouldn't wish upon any one. As the internet evolves and tweens have dehumanized celebrities into fake entities, will this be the future of 'authenticity' when it comes to dealing with loss+tragedy?
These girls have communicated at 100% capacity, conveying their complete perspective on the TRV$ DJ-AM plane crash. Should I find this offensive, or representative of reality?
Travis Barker, reality star and popular drummer from the popular band Blink 182, was recently in a plane crash which killed several of his friends. DJ AM survived, but then overdosed on drugs. DJ AM and Travis Barker were in a band together where DJ AM spun mainstream hits on his turn tables, and Travis Barker emotionally drummed over the music.
Even though DJ AM died, Travis Barker is still interested in 'making mad bank' from the DJ economy. His projects most likely get 'mad booking fees' which enable his rocker lifestyle. In order to move forward, he hired the popular DJ A-Trak to 'make sweet jams' with him.
Do they seem like a chill duo?
The duo will perform versions of each other’s remixes (they’ve reworked tracks for everyone from Eminem and Soulja Boy Tell’em to MSTRKRFT and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), plus new material they’ve been working on in Barker’s Los Angeles studio. Or, at least, that’s the plan right now.
In 2004, before Kanye was a human meme ball, A-Trak was hired as his tour DJ. A-Trak seems to have had 'mainstream exposure' in the past. Do yall think Blink 182 will sign to Fool's Gold Records, A-Trak's Record Label?
Do yall support Travis Barker for 'moving on'?
Do yall support the demographic of mainstreamers and bros who 'eat up' Travis Barker drumming over some generic DJ mix?
Is Travis Barker an overrated drummer/artist with an excellent monetization scheme?
Is A-Trak alt?
Will their new album 'top' Pitchfork's charts in 2k11?
