iPad DJ plays her first gig, gets mainstream CNN coverage

Published on Friday 6/4/2010 @ 2:01 PM by the ALT REPORT Robot

I just saw this video of the iPad DJ getting her first gig. She claims that she spent 3 days ‘preparing’ for this event, creating samples, and making sure she would have a fucking ‘rowdy ass’ set. Feel like she is ‘incredibly controversial’ just because of how ‘effing stupid’ her gimmick is. Are yall a fan of her ‘mission’ or is she just trying to start a marketing firm, then show off how she has ‘unique ideas’ that can get waves of coverage from mainstream viral blog buzz.

According to the iPad DJ, people are genuinely ‘riveted’ by her live experience. They show footage of her at a bar, DJing, and every1 seems like they don’t care. Like she is the ‘sad DJ’ at a semi-crowded bar who thinks that every is there for her. Sorta feel bad for her, like the gimmick is ‘already dead’ but she sorta has to take any PR that she can get just to make sure she squeezes as much coverage as possible out of the gimmick.

Are yall still vibing to the iPad DJ?
Do u think her skills have improved?
Is CNN covering her just because mainstream tech blogs covered her, and they ‘wanted to get in on’ the web content?
Is the iPad DJ still ‘hot’?
Should I book the iPad DJ?
Do u think she has a message inspired by genuine love of the iPad, or is she still just riding the gimmick wave?
Is the iPad DJ the greatest marketing mind since Steve Jobs / Phil Knight?
Should I start an iPad DJ group?

@brian chilliams, DJs get their drinks for free so buying them a drink in most cases isn’t really worth it. Buying a drink to spill on her setup would be totally worth it though, especially if you drink half of it first.

Slightly better than an iPOD DJ. Weak loops/samples. Is she DJ-ing an Oracle convention? I wonder why this is worthy of cnn/hro coverage yet I’ve never seen anything about legit technology like maxmsp/jitter on either.
Why did she name herself iPAD DJ, or is that one of the stipulations in her contract with apple?

Who was that Korean broad who covered mainstream junk on iPhones? AppleGirl or something? These two need to have a ‘DJ battle,’ I think. I bet if AppleGirl stopped covering shit and learned the art of ‘ironic mash-ups’ [via mixing Crystal Castles with Girls' Generation or something] this iPad DJ would get destroyed.
