DJ Nightmare by Proxy

About a year ago, Evan Funk Davies posted a shocking expose of the WFMU DJs' terrifying shared nightmare. Since then, the nightmare's continued. One of my worst involved DJ Dave the Spazz trying to "help" me by giving me a Grateful Dead LP to play. But something strange has happened: The nightmare is growing, expanding, turning into something else--MUTATING. First, we heard about Listeners who are beginning to have the DJ Nightmare themselves. Here's Listener-Volunteer Rudy describing his DJ nightmare on my show--EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT A DJ. Then this week I suddenly had a DJ nightmare by proxy. In MY dream, it was DJ Mr. Finewine of the Downtown Soulville show who was the one who was late getting to the station, didn't have any records, couldn't run the equipment, etc. Quelle terroir! I'm not saying this is Evan Davies fault, but he IS the one who first went public with this dreadful curse.

DJ nightmare also expands to college-newspaper-staff-writer nightmare. I recently dreamed the night before a deadline that I left unfinished TWO articles that week and I missed deadline because I helped some randoms guys build a scale model of the G.W. bridge in the science building. Moral of my subconcious; I loathe journalism.

I had this dream, see, that all the cows were flying around, see, & then as I'm talking into the mic, see, this girl comes over to somebody elses house, see & she keeps saying things like: "See, I told you not to even try..."

I have DJ nightmares frequently ... they almost always involve being at the station and never quite being able to find something to play next, so that there's constant dead air while I frantically look around for anything that I might play. This goes on for ages and I never manage to get it together.
