Why I HATE (and love) to make music... And why it will NEVER change...
(Edited)
I am musician since I am 9 years old. On stage & concert since I am 11? 12? DJing since the age of 15. But one thing, will NEVER change...
Monday:
"I am the DJ in town. Visit the event!"Tuesday:
"Yes, I make music. Not worth to mention..."Wednesday:
"Damn, I am the worst DJ in the country... I could mess it up..."Thursday:
"What can I play? I am nervous 400% + the worst DJ ever! I will mess it up!"Friday:
"I should just say I am ill & broke my arm..."+ Stopping telling anybody that I play tomorrow & regretting I called all friends and contacts.
Saturday morning:
"I am going to mess everything up. That was the last time at this location..."Saturday noon:
Thinking about how to brake my arm for real and fast during loading the equipment into the car.Saturday night:
Executing survival mode: 'Drink, play, survive.'+ Giving alcohol to listeners to sound better & saying "I started DJing a little time ago..."
Sunday:
Location manager writes "Thank you again! When do you play here next time?"+ Welcome new fans into the WA group.
Written on Friday night with the sure meaning "I kind of hate my life... Why do I do shit like this?*"Whhhhhyyyyy???
Greetings from Paraguay!

!LOLZ
!BEER
!LUV
You were right! ... As a final result after the gig... (thank you for your support buddyrina! It's a kind of magic!):
"Yes, I rocked it!" ;-)
That's how it is, you can't chose your fans 🤣
!LOLZ
And as a final result after the gig... (thank you for your support buddy! It's a kind of magic!):
Wow, Paul your perspective on the love-hate relationship with music really resonates with me. It's incredible how something that brings so much joy can also be frustrating at times. More power to Paul in music 🥰
You do music, too? What is you love-hate relation?
Glad I did a session today in the morning... this brought me away from suffering... Let's see how it goes... (The coffee yesterday kicked so hard... I just "chilled" 2.5 hours... This can be a night... My legs will be dead after today, after all this jumping... but:)
Damn coffee is no easy thing.... 😂😂😂 I'm actually a drummer so I understand sometimes the musicians
lol. "I am drummer - I can understand musicians" LOLOLOL. As a drummer you don't define as a musician yourself? "Oh no... I just hit around" - don't say that! lol No, you are musician, aren't you?
Cool! We share that! I played the drums a few years. Mostly rock stuff - I played a lot in my life... Drums are pretty awesome! I loved how you transform into a magnet, full of the energy flow after a session... Damn, playing the drums is cool! I really think some aspects of playing the drums is like after having good sex... this kind of energy flow is incredible! I really liked that... After going on travel I had to leave the drums behind and never bought new ones... but thinking about that from time to time...
Wow it's sad you had to leave that drum buddy but I guess I'm not going to consider myself as a musician 😁😁😁
¿Eres de Paraguay? ¡Que chevere!
"Solo" vivo aquí. Originalmente soy alemán. Pero después de más de 10 años paraguayo de corazón. ;-) ¿Dónde vives? ¿También en paraguay?
En California, pero durante los años noventa estuve viviendo en Chile y el Caribe. Fui a Paraguay unos veces, un lugar bonito. Alemánia, no he ido a Europa en casi 20 años ya...
Bueno, Paraguay... Tiene buenos lados, pero también... bueno, no me hagas empezar... Por lo menos aquí tengo mucha libertad y una vida razonablemente tranquila - eso vale mucho cuando vienes de Alemania.
Al final, debes ser consciente de las cosas y entonces... podrás reconocer el lujo en el que vives. Nunca habría tenido la vida que tengo aquí en Alemania... (Pero allí tendría otras cosas... Toda medalla tiene dos caras...).
😆😆😆 you made my 😆 throughout your post.
sry not laughing at you, but it is 1) funny how you've written it and 2) something very similar to my DJ friends, even when they gig thousands of times already and 3) something I can relate to myself, though not in music gigging space, but in preso type of space in the office business segment of things.
NJOY your weekend on the other side of the Atlantic ... Paraguay, a country I never been; Is somewhere on a list of destinations. Any suggestions? Musical / Club wise? I love techno.
It was my goal to bring to laughing! And be sure, every time I read this, I have to laugh, too.
Edje, what a nice to read comment! Right now I check the comments the last time before I start. Car is packed, arm is not broken... but PowerPaul within best vibe!
I wish you the same! Have a great time! Thank you for your support, Buddy & Brother of the Blockchain!
P.S. Oh, Techno? Hard to find here. Maybe some international artist is playing here, then he can fill a location. Otherwise Latin House is hard enough to present & find. House in general? Difficult. With "Latin" you can catch people here, yes, but everything else is really hard - seen from my experience. The culture is really different here. There are some clubs & discos in Asuncion, but on regular basis you will find Cumbia stuff there. And if it should be a little more Tech or western Styles, it may be a special Event... But no location can build his regular line on Techno or other western style. All in all: Techno in Paraguay will be rare & hard to find. If you see different, please tell me!
Owww, a friend played back in 2016 in Asunción, a place called Sequence. I guess I need to join him when he gets back to Paraguay 🙃 Not sure of if, and when. Hopefully any time soon! 🎶
NJOY the gig and VIBES! No broken arm, that is magic otherwise DJing is a bit tough. Owww well, you can order someone to DJ for you and guide the one through everything 😆😆😆 But no need for all of that since you are in good shape as it is 🙃🎶
Okay, cool, sounds great! Let me do a research if this location still exists... Would be cool to find this kind of locations! Do you see? Looks like the know the hood better than me!
Yeah, the gig went well! All were exited, I made a lot of recommendations, somebody was interested to buy a mix from me on a USB stick... (which is a honor for me to hear). All in all the Sunday will come as I have written above. Happy about! Relieved lol...
Thank you for your vibe! It's a kind of magic! ;-) Thank you bro! Nice to got & get in touch with you!
When you are in Paraguay, now you have a new connection it seems! ;-)
Enjoy the upcoming days & stay groovy!
Hahahaha I hope not {LOL}
That is super! Wish you mucho after pleasure 🙇
Well thanks you! 🥳
NJOY this Sunday
Thank you bro, thank you!
You, too. Hive a great start into the new week!
