DJ Peter, not so Nerdcore
Yesterday, by a spark of either brilliance or insanity, Tyler came up with the idea of having the three of us in our office be rotating DJs from 2:00-4:00pm each day. We all finally got equipped with speakers (well, speakers through our monitors, but what’cha gonna do?) and, therefore, have the ability to drive each other crazy with ever-increasing music volume (Did anyone say Screamo? No, we did not.), which would be inevitable by mid-afternoon, when lunch is behind us and quittin’ time is still a while away. Tyler started today, as he brought in his entire playlist from home with ratings and all. Tomorrow is my turn.I believe I’ll be bringing in my playlist as well, so I’ve taken a few minutes to build a mix of some of my favorite tunes. I stayed away from whole albums, as I only began really enjoying albums in their fullness during college (save for Audio Adrenaline’s Underdog). The sounds are spuratic, to say the least. For instance, I’ve included Enya’s Pilgrim, along with Tiesto’s In My Memory, Weird Al Yankovic’s Weasel Stomping Day, and the beautifully orchestrated Bioshock title Welcome to Rapture.
We’re all given 3 objections, where, when used, requires the day’s DJ to skip to their next song. We didn’t use any today, which could mean Erik and I were being courteous, we were very involved with work, or we enjoyed the tunes. I’d lean to the latter.
I still have 18 minutes of music to decide on and maybe a bit more, just in case I get some objections. If you happen to be in the area, stop by the office from 2:00-4:00pm and feel free to jam.
