Is it true....is Hooky faking it???

I came accross this article on Google. I'm not sure if it's been adressed here yet.

N.

yeah, probably. but at the end of the day, DJs are all talentless hacks, so what difference does it make?

I thought this going to be about orgasms....

I was reading it as a serious acrticle until I seen that the footage was actually from TV.

TV is fake people.

When the reporter goes to the door and Mrs Smith says "ooooh what a surprise"....how do you think they get the shot of her opening the door from the inside.

Alll nonsense you see.

Next they'll be saying thunder and lightning are fake cos they're "out of sync".

Also, JD were never playing live in the LWTUA video... LIes, it's all lies...

Yes they were! They refused to mime to the record. That's why the synching was shite in the original version.

they unfortunately shot the video playing the b- side and used the a-side audio ... at least that is what i always thought...

as for DJing, i doubt anybody noticed on the dance floor, and Hooky was there in the flesh. maybe Hooky was faking having fun, but i doubt it.

Shame on him and people actually paying to see him DJ live. I say it's just sheer laziness on his part. :D

I use to be a DJ and would sometimes slip in a mix cd and run it early in the night when not many people where present although I would not be mimicking as if I was DJ'ing. I would be at the bar drinking or talking to girls.

But on an occaision would let two or three songs go off even during the peak times.

You know what? I DON'T CARE.

And I'm kinda sure others don't either.

The only way most folks will grasp how fake and clueless any and all TV is, nevermind MTV, is to actually witness what they are filming then see the film. It's a joke.

They actually re-dubbed the sound on the first US attack on Iraq in the current war, so that the "boom" was sync'd with the flash that was at least 5Km away, instead of leaving the 5 second delay. That's the mentality.

Besides..

DJ=person who accepts money and credit that is not due to them.

I have mentioned this before........

I make a record. It retails for £5 I recieve £0.50 $BIGNAMEDJ buys it he plays it as one of 20 records in a 2 hour set He is paid £4000 for that set So he is paid £200 for playing a record I got 50p for making, and another £200 the next night, and the next night and the next.........

LWTUA is not miming.

Steve has no pads on and metal cymbals (not the plastic replicas mimers use).

joy division played live for the "love will tear us apart " video shoot,, though ian curtis had to go into the studio to record his vocal part again , the video vocal is a mix of the live take and rec order ed take,,, the rest is live.

Rubbish.

What an atypical set of circumstances you've used to create an argument there.

The amount of DJs who turn that sort of dollar for spinning records is miniscule compared to all those doing it for the love of music or for a very small fee. Many spend their time buying and dropping tracks for free that punters will later go and buy and provide revenue for artists.

Plenty of skills are involved in track selection, mixing and turntablism, and plenty of money and time is outlaid by DJs in providing fresh tunes and mixes for eager punters.

This Hooky argument was done to death several weeks ago. Dig around and you'll find the threads easy enough. But enough of the lazy, sweeping generalisations about DJ-ing as appearing in this thread.

Very naive sentiment, Cambo.

A lad I was at school with recorded under the name Young Braves. Not a name you'll probably have heard of.

However, about three years after its release, Sasha picked up on this one Young Braves track. And he stuck it on some mix compilation.

This one Young Braves record then shipped 10,000 copies - all simply because of Sasha's exposure.

Everybody's happy!

Oh I know it happens. But then how many of the greedy sods actually release mixes officially, and usually they refuse to tell people what their "hot tune" is. In just don't see the act of placing a tone arm on a spinning bit of plastic as being thousands of times more artistic that putting the stuff ON the plastic in the first place.

Bollocks. It's all about having a good time. Who cares if he fucks up occasionally? If you've ever seen him DJ its obvious he is actually putting the CDs on, hence the occasional mistakes!

I'm so old I don't even know what it means to be a DJ today. When I was young, they used vinyl records and record players with needles. The DJ had to que things up and did little tricks and such with the records. I wouldn't even begin to know what it entails today in the digital age with cds.

I guess the important thing is that he is entertaining the crowd. Part of being a DJ is putting on a show, I guess, and from the looks of the clip, he is pretty entertaining to watch and certainly putting in a lot of effort!

Will Hooky do wedding receptions ?
