Honestly even if you’re playing an artist everyone loves, you could be playing a deep cut or just a song people haven’t heard already a million times and you can catch some flack for it.

true. I've often wondered what it'd be like being a goth club DJ and playing songs other than Jesus Built My Hotrod, Eighties, Headhunter, Voodoo People etc.. I've talked to people about this and the general consensus is that it's an interesting idea but "people just want to hear what they know, man".

Also, playing music to annoy people is fun in a way, but these days I prefer trying to find something original that will blow people's minds—this is a bigger challenge imo. The sad truth though, is that most people just want music to be in the background, and don't mind hearing the same shit every day (ie. commercial radio); they don't want anything that will disturb that.

i remember blasting dj scud when i worked in a kitchen after highschool

This gem separates the heads from the boys:

Also just noticed the subtitle of the thread, lol

I was thinking of posting this, too, but I thought it sounds too nice and relaxing to have the desired effect.  Great track.

That Uncle Jim one, too.  Love that album.

Nothing like the Residents to confuse people as to why you're listening to it.

Burning Love = Best

the residents are like the most overrated band

I thought that was Steely Dan

I think it's boards of canada

Honest answer to actually make converts of coworkers - if you are stateside find a local public affiliate radio station that plays a healthy amount of indie rock stuff or more sincere pop but isn't like batshit weird watmm obscure level stuff a college student radio DJ would play. That said you would likely heard a lot of electronic, hip-hop, country (underground/americana), etc. on occasion.

Like in Austin KUTX is a great example, or KXT in Denton. Stations like KCRW in Los Angeles, KEXP in Seattle, KTBG The Bridge in Kansas City, WFUV in New York City, and WXPN in Philadelphia are all good examples of what I mean.

Your situation reminds of this time I worked at a place at briefly in 2008 where a dude played Matisyahu and called it "rap"

Sorry to DP but I remembered at the Salon I worked at this track came on the radio one time and of course it starts unremarkably... NO ONE was prepared for 5:30. We just looked around the room at each other as it was happening. Great one for unexpected awkwardness esp during work hours!
