Baxter and Alps
Didn't we already have this discussion?
You can't go straight from the left-most lane at the intersection of Baxter and Alps. That lane is a left turn only lane. It is a PROTECTED left turn, FFS. So why is there always some jerk up front preventing everyone in the left lane from turning because they felt like going straight but DIDN'T feel like getting into the correct lane?
It's not even that hard to fix your mistake if you got into the wrong lane. Just turn right into the Kroger parking lot, go to the other side, and make a left from there.
"We" didn't have any discussion.
I assume you mean coming out of the Rusan's/SteinMart/etc complex? I was once guilty of this - they REALLY need to repaint the arrows on those lanes! For someone unfamiliar, it looks like it's a left-or-straight lane - especially b/c the light for that lane has two rows - a turn and a solid green (which happen to only work in concert, if I remember correctly). A sign on the light would also be helpful, since half the time the arrows in the lanes are covered by cars.....
D :RC
what a talentless c**kbag, you waste my time, so puff a pole
also new earth is the worst ever, i hear the owner had a gayby
oo yeah both of those things are horrible
Ok, another thread about more losers. Oh well.
Is he the one that looks like the predator?
Which owner? There's like 50 of them! lol
Every time New Earth is about the close their doors, the add one more "partner" who has been suckered into throwing a little cash their way to keep things afloat a little longer. Anyone wanna bet how long before they close their doors? Which, really, in light of Tasty World closing too, is a shame. But hey, if Zelski is involved, you should have known this was coming.
Town is full of suckers.
Alps and Broad
Does anyone know why you can't turn left onto Broad Street/Atlanta Highway from Alps, like if you're headed toward downtown? I always thought it was weird and it's definitely inconvenient.
At & t internet and wireless service in Athens
Why do you suck so bad. Constantly dropping calls and constantly spotty internet connection. Fix your sh*t!
I have both AT&T for DSL internet and for iPhone phone service and am very pleased with both tbh. IMO Charter is MUCH worse.
I have to agree Charter was way worse for internet. But for me ATT is coming close to Charter!
I've been having the same problems with AT&T. What is their deal? Why are both phone and Internet suddenly much suckier?
In the last month or two, my i-phone 3g has been dropping calls like crazy. It's so bad I am not even going to think twice about switching to verizon when the kung-fu death grip service contract is up. I pay 100+ for this crap?! Guess that's what really pisses me off.
Walking your dog!
It is very rude and inconsiderate when you are walking your dog around the neighborhood to let them crap in your neighbors yard! Please stop being such a loser and maybe clean up after your pet. I don't want his crap in my yard everyday! And I'm sure the other people in the neighborhood feel the same way!
My neighbor used to let his dog poop in my yard. About twice a week I threw it back into his yard. Extremely disgusting but it made me feel better.
Ewww haha! Yeah I seem to have the same problem where I live. I don't even think they live in this area, they just bring their dogs over here to let them poop.
You should get some of those signs that say NO DUMPING ALLOWED! Put them in your yard!
Agua Linda
I don't understand why everyone goes there. The chips are always burnt and the food is just ok.
Agreed. The food quality has gone down and the prices have gone up.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed about the quality of the food and prices.
No problems at the one on Timothy. They also have fantastic mole'.
Jackson St Book Store
The employees that work there are snobby, rude, and generally unhelpful. They answer questions as vaguely as they possibly can and it's infuriating. I have never had a good experience in that store.
WTF?
To the absolute F.*.*.K STAIN that threw up on my car at the intramural fields today...
What the F.*.*.K is wrong with you?
It wasn't me, it was the dog.
OK, I'm not the OP, but why are you letting your dog vomit on people's cars? How does it being dog vomit and not people vomit make it OK?
Because dogs like to eat vomit and I was gonna wait for him to start lapping it up.
OP: if your dog really did throw up on my car, you're even worse than I had imagined. It's one thing to be irresponsible and FLICK with other people's s**t, it's another to allow something you own FLICK with other people s**t and not take responsibility for it.
The kids in town pay for your s**tty job and bar! Bow down losers!
The kids in town pay for your sh**ty job and bar! Bow down losers!
It was my cat. Fur balls...
No it wasn't your cat. It was my pet chimp. Nasty habit.
Hate to tell you, that wasn't vomit ahem.
If you can call most of those losers DJ's. Bunch of talentless wannabes.
You should check new earth out sometime if you want to hear talentless dj's.
Yeah, i've been a tad dismayed over the last couple of years the number of 'djs' that haven't taken the time to learn how to mix records. I've been djing in this town for over 20 years now and still mix by ear versus having a software program do it for me. there are a couple of others too... dj rx, d:rc, variant, dj 43. sad though that all the newcomers don't learn the art of djing and are more interested in just being a 'dj'.
yeah and all those djs you mention, suck.
they don't suck. you probably just don't like the music they play. there's a BIG difference.
yeah, you can't knock good dj's just because you don't like their music. kinda like saying jay-z sucks because you don't like rap music...
I enjoy the different styles they play, but think those djs are boring and unimaginative in how they present the music . Seen much better, so I think they're a joke, they suck etc. Who cares.
You know what they say - those who can't do bitch and complain.
I know of only 1 person who has been djing in this town "for over 20 years now." Rich family lines his pockets to the point he was able to buy his own bar; now has a guaranteed place to play dj. Impressive.
I'm just reading this. And I have to agree, thanks for listing some of the suck a$$ dj's for us. Rx, d:rc, 43 etc... They all use laptops just like everyone else. Mix by ear, yeah right. And yes, not only do they suck as dj's, their music sucks as well. I've never heard or seen such a bunch of pathetic wannabe dj's in my entire life. First time for everything. Thank you Athens!
DJ's are tired things of the past. Get over yourselves.
I guess I get to chime in now... I'm the 'rich guy whose family lines my pockets' LOL My family has nothing to do with my venture in my bar. That money was my own, earned from music production, dj-ing all over the country in the late 90's and early 2000's and some investments.
As far as having a place to play every weekend, yeah, you're da*n right I do. I enjoy it and have for quite a while. If you would like to take a look in the dj booth at my bar, you'll find two turntables, crates of records (vinyl) a dj mixer, controller and a computer running serato. For those in the dark, serato is a program that enables the dj to play mp3's and wav files controlled by either vinyl encoded records or encoded cd's. THE DJ STILL HAS TO MIX THE TUNES!!!!! The program many folks look down upon r dj-ing is ableton live which beat matches for you (as does another program called Torque). The bad thing is that there are so many "dj's" out there that use ableton and are unaware of how to even mix records. In this case, yes, a few apples ruin the bunch.
It's so easy to knock on things when you really don't have any idea what the reality of it all is.
so just out of curiosity, who do you consider 'good dj's'?
HAHAHA, funded through his music production and djin all over the country. What a laugh. Oh I will be laughing for years to come. You must be Tiesto! HAHAHA
What I've learned form this thread:1. djs take themselves too srsly2. djs respond to criticism by saying 'you don't know what you're talkin' about'3.djs think beat matching equates to "good dj"4. im rly ovr djs5. the 1 who smelt it dealt it
oh yeah, well my turntables are better than yours so there lmao
My ipod touch is better than all your laptops! Take that!
And 8-track players uh I mean turntables.
DJ's = Tired has-beens.
If you're gonna take the attitude that you spin manually and are therefore "better", fine. But please don't use your ability to hold two records together as a reason why other djs are not as good as you think you *think* you are.If you're gonna sit in that corner, then you should be able to back that s**t up with at least a fraction of the skills like the guy in this video has. Otherwise, get back to being the boob in the bar playing what they want.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iZdggruFpY
ahh, now we see what you classify as a 'dj' ......figures.......
and now we see why this person has no respect of other types of djing
My point is: don't sit up there on your throne and act like because you manually mix that you're so much better than some kid with a laptop. Cause kid with a laptop is gonna make you look like an ass. BTW, I didn't mention "dj" at all. I just used a world champion turntablist to exaggerate the point. Boy, you are pickled in the head.
All you lame so called dj's in Athens need to get a life and shut up. Keep on sucking and playing your s**tty music!
You suck but you think you rock. And self promotion that you do is so hilarious! If anything, thanks for the laughs!
Turntables, laptops, whatever. You push play just like all the other wannabes.
We don't care if you have turntables and all that other junk. Just play the songs we want to hear while we are out drinking and trying to have a good time. Idiot dj's.
Seems like the ones hating the hardest have the least idea of what a "good DJ" is supposed to do: make people dance, have a good time, spend money at the bar, and come back for more. If you don't know how to do that, go check out the hundreds of s**tty "bands" and "singer-songwriters" that Athens has an endless supply of and stay off the dancefloor.
PS: For those of you that doubt Athens' own DJ 43's accomplishments, here's a partial list of production credits spanning about a decade: http://www.discogs.com/artist/DJ+43
Then again, none of that means anything to you since you're probably the drunk moron at the dance club trying to request 'Alejandro' by Lady Gaga for the 10th time in one night.
What a load of crap from 43. Thanks for the crap list. I'm sure he has made lot's and lot's of money off that crap. Seems that his awesomeness has paid off, reduced to his family buying a bar so he can have a gig and play 80's. LMFAO
ANYWAY, Athens has a ton of talentless dj's. You can argue all you want about who is and who isn't talentless. I think you all suck. Get over it.
I can't wait to graduate so I can get out of this town. So until that happens my best advice is to avoid the dj bars, because yes they mostly suck. I can hear hip hop, rock, country and 80's on the radio. No need to have a dj pretty much play the radio for me.
With that said, looking forward going to the 40 Watt tonight! Rock on!
I'm feeling the responses. Here we've got this dj pissing on other djs because they don't mix like he mixes, telling those who don't disagree with him that they "don't have any idea", then linking to a list of releases, wanting us to believe they've funded a string of bar ventures. A genuine American story of the successful, self-made man. Well da*n, what a load of horse-s**t. It's clear the responders don't by into this line either. The icing on this cow-s**t cake is a further jab at bands in town- calling them "s**tty bands." And he tops it off with a dingle-berry, telling us to "stay off the dancefloor." No problem there! I'll be enjoying the "s**tty bands" and "singer-songwriters." Sincerely- some guy in a band.
wow. Ya know I seem to remember like 500 people showing up for a bunch of talentless djs a couple weeks ago..
Wow, what an exaggeration. And it was Athfest, there were people everywhere dummy. Don't have to be a genius to figure that out.
apparently some people don't like the fact that someone from Athens had some success in the music business that didn't play rock/indie rock.... nice open mind they have. I knew 43 back in the day and knew what dj's were getting paid to play some events in the region and there were dj's making good money for a nights work.
I'm so sure a few dj gigs have paid for everything. So sure. But I don't care about that as much as you do. DJ's suck, push play and shut up bitches!
Ummm yeah, thousands of people showed up during Athfest for "dj's". So much for sh**ty bands and musicians huh?
It's pretty clear to me that the kids in town have no idea what is involved in being a real and true DJ. Granted, they also have no idea of what a vinyl is. The above diatribe sounds like folks who don't get to hear their requests, and, thus, bitch and complain. There's more to dj'ing than just playing requests.
Bunch of self promotion dj's in Athens. You are your only fan. People come out for the drinks not to hear your music you are acting stupid to in the dj booth.
The kids in town pay for your sh**ty job and bar! Bow down losers!
You kids just don't get what being a REAL DJ is AT ALL. Sorry but YOU SUCK and you JUST DON'T GET IT. REAL DJS are GODS. I feel sorry for you KIDS with LAPTOPS. You don't know ANYTHING, so spend your money in Athens and get THE HELL ON. The REAL PEOPLE will be here LONG after you LEAVE town. Your OPINIONS are WORTHLESS. I am TIRED of watching TRUE DJS getting hated on by IGNORANT people. f**k your STUPID little rock bands. And f**k all you WANNABE DJS who don't know how to KEEP IT REAL! Retro RULES and you laptop BITCHES SUCK!!!!!!
I'm glad some of the DJ's are posting on here. I can't wait to pass this along to some of my band members and friends.
GO AHEAD and pass it along. Do you think anyone GIVE A s**t? A REAL DJ can use a sample from one of your s**tTY RECORDS and MOVE A CROWD. You don't GET IT and you have NO RESPECT for A DJ. That is YOUR LOSS. We PROVIDE ENTERTAINMENT. You BORE the THREE people that come to your STUPID SHOW.
Making a list. Checking it twice. Going to be sure to spread this topic around. Talentless dj's vs sh*tty bands in Athens...
Flicker - July 21
The Melting Point - July 16
I wish I had y'alls problems...
I know. Arguing over who is better. Seems there are more serious problems to be arguing about.
If you had some of the money like some of us have, maybe you can join the argument broke losers!
No one has posted which DJs in Athens - DON'T SUCK... There must be a few that do their job well?
epic
It's so hot... Milk was a bad choice.
