Bob Dylan is Coming to the Ryan Center
If you went to see Lupe Fiasco, but are skipping Bob Dylan you may be one of the worst people on this planet. I actually cannot fathom how this show will not sell out. Bob Dylan is one of the greatest artists of all time. If you aren’t down with Bob Dylan you need to go play in traffic.
Techno Tuesdays Presents RUSKO
I think that its only fair to post about Rusko considering he’ll be blasting beats in the Ryan Center in two days! Rusko is an awesome dubstep DJ from England. I have my tickets and I hope you have yours. I want this show to be crazy. Here is some of Rusko’s music to get you ready for Thursday:
My favorite Rusko song:
The rest of his music can be played here on his soundcloud:
Rage Big, We Do!
Techno Tuesdays Presents deadmau5
Joel Zimmerman, AKA deadmau5 (with a lowercase “d”), has been a major contributor to the EDM community. The Canadian frequently reminds the world that he does not consider himself a DJ and that being a DJ takes no skill. He is a firm supporter of music producers, but not “button pushers” on stage. (He even considers himself a button pusher.) His most popular tracks are “Ghosts n’ stuff” “Some Chords” “Strobe” “Raise your Weapon” and “The Vedlt.” He is a personal favorite. Enjoy!
Apparently I’m Supposed to be Outraged About Pauly D Making a Lot of Money
Source- [Pauly D]’s got a slew of eponymous products, his own television show and a DJ career that earns him an average of $40,000 per show from club gigs, private parties and a stint opening for Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale tour. Over the past year, Pauly D pulled in $11 million, enough to earn him the No. 7 spot on FORBES’ first-ever top-earning DJs list.
Here’s the thing, I never have a problem with people making lots of money. If you do, then it just means you’re jealous. Does it really make sense that he makes more money than DJs such as Afrojack, Avicii, and Kaskade? Well sorta. There is no doubt that his producing skills no where near match those of the DJs previously listed. His live performances are good. I have heard him DJ live and I can tell you that he is not a terrible club DJ. I would also say that he does not bring as much excitement as a live Avicii set or an Afrojack set. But there’s a major entertainment factor. Kids who watched Jersey Shore will pay a ton of money to see a reality star. It doesn’t really even matter what Pauly plays anymore. People are gonna come to see him. The entertainment industry has always been a curious one. During times of recession, people pay for entertainment. So unless Pauly has personally wronged you, don’t hate on him for making a ton of money.
DJ Mag Outs First Cheating DJ
If you haven’t already, please read my article from earlier this week regarding DJ Mag and Cheating

UPDATE:
Source-Today, DJ Mag has announced the eviction of one DJ from the poll…“As of today (Friday August 3rd) DJ Mag are eliminating Miss Diamond from Switzerland from the Top 100 DJs Poll. Based upon our analysis, it is quite clear that Miss Diamond, or those working on her behalf, have cheated. We will be notifying her forthwith. Others will follow over the coming weeks.”
Boom Roasted! To be honest I had to google who this “Miss Diamond” character was.
Snoop Dogg is Now Snoop Lion
Source- The legendary rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, says he was “born again” during a visit to Jamaica in January. He discovered his true inner Rastafarian self, reports Huffington Post.”I want to bury Snoop Dogg, and become Snoop Lion. I didn’t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg.’ And he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘No more. You are the light; you are the lion.’ From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there.”
Um, excuse me for not being impressed, but you go on a trip to Jamaica, smoke the finest hash, go to a fricken’ temple, and the best you come up with is changing “dogg” to “lion?” If I were Snoop, I would ask the dealer for a refund on that weed. That is the least creative thing that has ever come from smoking weed. It’s stories like that that give the anti-drug laws weight. Go get a refund and come back with a better name. For fuck-sakes, it sounds like you’re an Apple upgrade.
DJ Mag Strikes Back
Source- Last week, on Wednesday 26th July, it was brought to DJ Mag’s attention that a posting on eBay Italy was claiming to be selling votes in the annual Top 100 DJs poll. This was posted in Italy by somebody trying to discredit the poll, and is no longer active as a live auction bid. DJ Mag believes that this fake eBay posting was probably done by the same group of people responsible for the video last year that claimed to expose how people could cheat in the poll…There are a number of DJs that have been caught cheating, and DJ Mag will be naming and shaming them by the end of this week.
I don’t know how much truth there is behind that last line, but I can’t wait to find out who those DJs are. It brings shame to the greatest DJ ranking poll in the world. If DJ Mag Top 100 loses its credibility, then I have no idea where world rankings would come from (not that it really matters). I think the biggest problem is that for the past 2 years, they have run the contest through Facebook. They should have done it through their own website. If there are any big breaks in this story, I’ll post updates.
PS: Paris Hilton was deff one of the DJs who cheated.
