I’m Playing a 30’th birthday tomorrow night for a friend – Mikey<\/span><\/p>\n It got me thinking – I sometimes play “weddings” or “birthdays” for friends but don’t do so commercially. Doing so can result in the classic request situations – ‘got any Bob Marley?’ or ‘ got anything good?’,\u00c2\u00a0 the former from “lads” and the latter from drunk girls looking for the latest girl pop etc.<\/p>\n You have to be armed with both doing any wedding or like situation but doing it for a living would probably result in musicophobia (having said that the downside of being an “underground Dj” is there are not enough opportunities to play ‘Piece of me’ and the like.<\/p>\n It also got me thinking that I should share the equation for doing these types of gigs in case you are called to the honour of soundtracking somebody’s great moment. Here it is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n y – a +11 = v1<\/span><\/p>\n y – a +19 = v2<\/span><\/p>\n Where y = the year<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 a = the age of the somebodies<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0 Where p = poppieness<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 e= edginess<\/p>\n Then graph\u00c2\u00a0 The resulting graph will give you a sure fire guide to picking the music your somebodies will be sure to enjoy.<\/p>\n I’ll put up the graph later, as on the advice of my lawyer I’m patenting the system.<\/p>\n Like these guys<\/a> who have cleverly patented the circle of fifths.<\/p>\n
