About idiots on craigslist and IRL that low ball the people that actually make a living out of what we do. I know this has been discussed - and people have always asked "how much should I charge". Now, personally, before anyone says go do the same thing, I don't rely on my DJing as a form of income. But there are people that do, and that should be respected, not just by fellow DJ's but also the people that are "trying" to be DJ's. Let's not get on the whole, when's a DJ really a DJ, "he uses sync!" trash, but honestly, it's making it harder for everyone to get gigs, support your family or whatever your situation may be. By now you might be asking, Jay, itajeN, why the rant? We got it. But no, not everyone has grasped this concept and they probably never will. But take a look at this. If that doesn't boil your blood, especially if you use music as your secondary income, I don't know what will. All I'm saying is, do some damn research or something. I understand that yeah its cheap you cant go wrong, but its not quality. The world has lost sight of quality - especially in America - perfect example, McDonalds - yeah you get 50 nuggets for $10, but lets face it. They taste like shit.
Now, who else is with me with coming up with some sort of idea, to bring back quality over quantity.
