lol, a bunch of DJs i know were debating this and it was universally landed on that she's a loving clown and has no clue what she's doing, nor did whoever she outsourced it to. just a clown show up and down shockingly

yes, this is certainly what actually happened

but seriously, dj software made this poo poo so goddamn easy compared to the vinyl days. any moron can do a set these days with minimal training

i dj vinyl because i'm a moron who loves to gently caress up but i've used rekordbox once and even i can tell what happened here, she must've just assembled her set the night before or maybe even right before the show and didn't test anything. her whole thing is "whatever i'm smart i can do this on the fly". tbh I kinda did this my first set, I tested a bunch of things but didn't really "practice" and wound up messing up a few times. but it was a bar with like 20 people in it not loving Coachella

I find it hilarious that so many chuds idolize this character. I only saw the movie for the first time a couple of years ago and he just comes off as the unstable entitled rear end in a top hat he clearly is and not at all this hard done by anti hero who was done taking society's poo poo or whatever.

Duvall's character summarized it perfectly:

"They lie to everybody! They lie to the fish! That doesn't give you any right to do what you did today!"

Chuds don't understand that sentence is literally the message of the film. When Foster goes home and watches a home video where he's an unhinged rear end in a top hat even in his private life, it shows all his bellyaching is him avoiding responsibility and being angry at the world. A nazi agrees with him, and instead of a moment of reflection at his behavior, D-FENS doubles down.

Meanwhile, throughout the film Prendergast suffers very similar situations to Foster and handles it with grace and maturity.

The Fallout tv show is going to be another one of those shows where they completely miss the message. The slapstick hides the fact it's going both barrels at capitalism.

it sounded like she accidentally made one of the tracks go in double time and had to manually divide the BPM by half, or something like that

i feel like the breakfast scene is one of the best in the movie. like, people always latch on to how it's "stupid" there's an arbitrary time where fast food stops serving breakfast, or how it's such a big issue that food doesn't look like the photos - but in the movie none of that stuff is important to him. he pulls a gun because he's being told no. when they agree to give him breakfast he turns and looks at all the scared patrons and immediately changes his order to lunch. he makes the manager serve him to feel powerful and in control, and he complains about the food solely because he's looking for someone to agree with him so that he doesn't feel bad about what he's done - several times he tries to be friends or get the patrons on his side not because he has valid complaints about advertising but because if someone agrees with him then it would validate what he's done.

I think even if they understand they simply don’t agree with it. They’d say the fact that things are hosed up does give you the right to act out, break poo poo, whatever.

bingo, and because she plays a bunch of music with a bunch of very widely varying bpms, rekordbox if i remember right doubled the speed on some songs to make it match the bpm band and because she's a clown who didn't practice before COACHELLA, she didnt notice this. i'm not a dj myself but i trust what they said :shrug:

Absolutely and yes plenty of them do just that. Especially for massive shows like Coachella where you don’t want to gently caress up in front of thousands of people

I was under the impression a lot of them pre-record everything including transitions and then just have a bunch of unplugged boards with knobs and doodads so they can look busy.

I'm only impressed with actual turntablism and I've never seen anyone do that IRL:

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Competent DJs can do it for real and still fiddle unnecessarily with knobs because otherwise it looks really boring.

That's party DJing, not pop.music concerts.

She could have paid someone hyper competent $500 to prep the set, be on stage, make this not be a problem and not be something to worry about while performing.

This is peak Musk brain, hoarding every last cent because she thinks she's a genius polymath.
