The wild thing is that he still had great takes on the lpga and is super supportive of the Korean and Japanese tours

He also spends a lot of time levying attacks against the women he doesn’t like, including some really gross attacks against their looks

What are the other times it showed up and what happened? I’m legit curious.

This is like the most on-brand Duffer situation.

Corrigan absolutely looking like a melt being butthurt that Burns hunts. An easy set-up. All Duff needs is one snarky comment and he will get the likes he craves.

Instead he goes on a fully psychotic rant and looks like a jilted lover, enraged that James won’t answer his calls anymore.

Definitely all posted from his Ipadphone

Regarding wedding reception music:

I would suggest giving your DJ a Must-Play list and Do-Not-Play list.

When my wife and I got married, we only did the Do-Not-Play list and kind of got burned. The guy was fine and played the hits, but he also was really feeling his mixing skills.

It was June 2013, so Gangnam Style was the jam. It’s still a banger. Anyway, the DJ plays it and everyone hits the floor and we’re vibing our faces off. It gets to just before the hook, and he switches it over to another song.

Everyone stopped dancing and started booing and yelling at the guy. The look on his face was priceless.

I wanted to fire him on the spot. You don’t cut off Gangnam Style. You don’t do that. It’s a must-play, especially in the summer of 2013.

@Randy I’ll co-sign this. Don’t hesitate to give your DJ a playlist. Prior to our wedding, we spoke to our DJ and gave him a list of like 20 must play songs. We also gave him a list of songs we didn’t want to be played.

We got married in 2015 and Ed Sheeran was the big thing at the time. I wasn’t into his music so I told him no Ed Sheeran. My brother knew this and at the reception requested his music and the DJ held up his notepad with a big note reading “NO ED SHEERAN” on in.

To this day, we get comments from wedding guests about our music and the vibe of the entire party.

Is it worth it to give him a follow just for that?

Related, I got married in Sept 2012, and there was a company in the Chicago area called “Just Push Play.” They would sent out a DJ to do the emcee thing, bring speakers and lights, but would only play songs that were on an Ipod that you gave the DJ. Was cheaper than a full DJ/band and turned out to be better.

my girlfriend and I have started talking a bit about this in the last few days (we’ve started looking at venues and vendors and whatnot so we don’t get skunked for the timeframe we’re looking at next year. One thing was a pretty quick call when we were talking about it yesterday

Do-Not-Play: “don’t stop believing” (the song is incredibly over played here cause they say “south detroit” which doesn’t even fucking exist)

Do/Must-Play: “don’t stop believing” (t-pain version) - if we have to have it, it’s gonna be this version of it.

This might be a Country Roads / west Virginia situation here.

Our wedding DJ was someone my wife went to HS with and knew. He was a nice/normal dude who knew how to balance what songs we wanted and didn’t want. We met with him a couple times to hammer out details and to go over the general vibe of the wedding.

About a week before the wedding he e-mailed my wife and said “Hey just wanted to give you a heads up. Your dad (my father-in-law) e-mailed me a list of songs he wanted me to play/include…I wanted to check with you before I responded to him”. My wife asked for the list of songs…I kid you not, there was over 70 songs on the list. Two full pages of songs! We told him to just ignore the e-mail and that we would talk to her dad.

Having to tell her dad that we wouldn’t be able fit in Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey album in full was quite the funny conversation.

I also think telling the DJ who is able to give song requests and who isn’t… that’s key.

I had a friends Dad growing up 20 years ago who bitched about this exact thing. Hated the song because of it.

I know more people who hate it for this reason than people who love it.

I think it’s a really fun thing to bitch about, but I’d care far less if it didn’t get played at every hockey/football/basketball game/wedding/event in and around detroit.
