I saw Deadmau5 tonight in Nashville, TN. Awesome show. Great DJ. He’s my hero and what made me want to start djing to begin with.
So afterwards my friend says he knows a guy who is going to hang out with Joel after the show. So Im psyched. I think I’m going to have coffee with my idol. Anyway, long story short my friends friend, says that he can only take one guy and I have to leave. Of curse I could have been pushier and probably been able to get 5 minutes. I am kicking myself now.
Have you guys ever messed up something so huge. It’s as if a golf player messed up a meeting with Tiger Woods.
I am also kicking myself for not having a copy of my mix on hand.
Enough feeling sorry for myself. Make me feel better guys.
shit wtf deadmau5 in nashville i live fuckin 2 hours away i would have walked up there for that damn show, where did he play at, mercy lounge?

They say you should never meet your heroes, so perhaps it’s for the best mate.
After having practically stalked Barbara Tucker round this island for the 4 years I’d been here, I finally met her last year, she came in the bar, and hung out in the booth for a bit. After all my musical knowledge deserted me through being starstruck, I was like “Oh my god, Babs Tucker in my DJ booth, at the same time as I put on her record!”
“No you idiot, this is Jocelyn Brown on Subliminal Records!”
“Oh. Sorry Babs.”
“Don’t call me Babs.”
After that I put on another track with a male vocal:
“Don’t worry, I know this one’s not you singing.” (I say with a wink of the eye, and my tongue in cheek, in case there’s any mistaking the classic British sarcasm)
She waited a couple of seconds for the vocal to come in.
“This is a man singing”
“Yeah I know… I was just sayi…”
“Are you saying I’m a man?!”
Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll ever be on her Christmas card list.
lmao Rufus, I reckon that would have been an ideal time to hit on her (as you kinda did). Nothing like taking the piss out of the opposite sex to get there attention
Agreed, his comments about DJs in that Irish Newspaper show him to be an over-opinionated, juvenile with no understanding of DJing outside what he himself does.
Id be tempted to pull his f*cking great big mouse ears if i saw him.
Does he DJ with that thing on his head?
Hardly a Daft Punk helmet is it?
Karlos… don’t want to rub it in, but it turns out her apartment is at the other end of my street (ok, maybe rubbing it in a little )
If you ever fancy a cheapo trip to Ibiza, there’s always a spare bed with your name on it here, I’ll introduce you to a few people you may have heard of
semi-off topic DJ wise, but I would have to agree with DvlsAdvct. I met Shia LaBeouf from the Transformers movie a few months ago while at work, and I would have to say I would have rather met nearly anybody else famous or not. Not that he’s a role model for me, in fact I hadn’t even seen the movie until about 2 weeks ago, but he is an idol to a lot of people and it wasn’t really an experience to remember. I have to say though, that Megan Fox does look as good in person as she does on screen.
What’s the big deal ? Honestly what are you gonna say to him ? It’s not like he’s gonna give you an opening slot or tell you some words of wisdom that’ll stick with you throughout your career . And he wouldn’t have listened to your mix chances are he wouldn’t even had taken it . Sorry to be so brutally honest .
(ok, maybe rubbing it in a little
