Tweets from the booth, episode 10: The Positivity Edition

Another entry in an ongoing series about the realities, challenges and tactics of spinning records in public for pay…

This one is a happier than usual, because I was worried that this series was bumming people out. Catch up on previous episodes!

Rocking a party with The Clash, Digital Underground, James Brown and Beastie Boys qualifies as a good night on the job. Big up @DCShorts.

Got through a night playing pop records without a single Iggy Azalea request. Maybe God is real.

Small victories still count.

Becky requested an artist I've never heard of that sounds like Kimmel trolling at SXSW but I ended up liking it when I heard it. It happens.

Shoutout to the sister who tipped me $20 so her and her man could canoodle to some brown likka jams. *Billy Dee Williams finger guns*

Tips appreciated for quality service.

This weekend I got a $10 tip to play The Wobble. These haters can't hold me back.

The kids may be alright, since Kaytranada is barely out of diapers himself. Also, Janet.

Beats a cubicle.
