Seriously, I HATE Facebook

I’ve been creating a new Facebook page for DJ Format. It’s been an utter nightmare. You’d think with the massive user base that Facebook has they’d make a half-decent product which was easy to use. But oh no… Installing apps has been a nightmare. There is no ‘app store’ like you’d expect to find, nope, [...]

Things I’d love to do but never will…

There are some things in life that I’d love to do, but will never get the chance or will never do through manners/social standing/being a nice person. Kicking in a door Telling a perfect stranger that they have ‘nice tits’ Stealing a police car and tearing around the streets with the lights and sirens blaring [...]

  1 day – DJ Format’s new Youtube channel (which I made) has notched up 252 views. Nice. Ok, so it’s not record-breaking, but it’s still pretty spiffing.  

Breaking rap stereotypes

People always stereotype rap. ‘It’s all about bitches, money, cars and killing each other.’ Sure, yeah, that’s what it’s all about. God I hate you. Open you mind, open your ears and realise that there is a lot more to rap (and Hip-Hop) in general than you think. Rap can be clever, thought-provoking, humorous and moving. [...]

Chuff you SweetIM

There is a moral to the following story. It is that you should NEVER be over enthusiastic on the internet and go clicking links willy-nilly without paying enough attention. On Friday, I decided to go about setting up DJ Format’s Youtube channel. A task which involved not only downloading already live Youtube videos, but also [...]

You’ll seem like an obsessed fan

“You’ll seem like an obsessed fan” Is what my wife said when I went foraging in the loft for a roll of old posters from my ‘youth’ – producing a (partially) signed poster from DJ Format’s first tour. “No I won’t!” I protested, “it’s been in the loft for years.” “Hmmmm.” “Look, it’s not got [...]

Fame is subjective

Fame is thoroughly subjective. I’ve discovered that over the last 2 days while trying to come up with a list of questions to ask DJ Format. Most people I’ve spoken to don’t know who he is. Not much of a surprise as most people I know don’t like, nevermind listen to Hip-Hop. To me DJ [...]

“If you don’t ask, you don’t get” Was the wise words of a friend yesterday. So true. But sometimes you’ll ask a question and be sure you won’t get a positive answer. ‘Can I have a payrise?’ ‘Will you wear this sexy French maid outfit for me?’ ‘Can I borrow 3 grand to invest in [...]

Using Twitter properly – it’s good for pimping stuff!

The other day I discovered DJ Format on Twitter @djformat4. I was rather pleased I’d found him, but frankly disappointed by his lack of followers. Format is (in my opinion) a truly tremendous Hip-Hop legend. A brilliantly talented, British DJ who is highly under-appreciated. So I Tweeted an #FF saying people should follow him. Monday morning [...]

Killed creative staff required

  Bit of a balls-up from Reed here. “Killed creative staff required” – poor creative staff, what did they ever do to you? Probably should have proofed the e-mail before sending it out.
