  • Yeah, I like it
  • Almost as embarrassing as spelling your name ‘Tymm’
  • What’s wrong with being turntably?

Look, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard DJ Yoda mentioned today. What’s going on?

He’s on Lamacq’s roundtable thing right now

Just seems a weird aggrandising term given he already has DJ in his name which is fiiine in my view. But maybe everyone with an iPhone and a Bluetooth speaker calls themselves a DJ these days.

Think more people should be referred to as turntablists, so as to distinguish people who play live music by mixing / scratching records from people like Tony Blackburn.

Oh right, well I dunno because it seems like his is actually a DJ.

Nominative Determinism or whatever?

Decks Surgeon is presumably what Tony Hawk calls himself?

Saw DJ Yoda at a University Ball. He was “turntabling” to a room of about ten people. I was really drunk so I left

By this logic bassists should also be called guitarists

You could say that, but then surely his initials would be VJ?
