Ronan will not be DJ'ing.. as he is not answering emails or signed his contract. We do not know why. (please see 07 cruise forum under Cd/DVD).

So, DJ Evelfaery will be Dj'ing this years gothcruise and pre/post parties.

My apologies if this causes an issue with Ronan not dj'ing.. however, we have not heard from him since December after an absurd amount of emails to contact him. All Genre felt that at this time, it would be best to contract a new DJ now.. rather then be left with none.

DJ Evelfaery will also be spinning on the 2009 Gothic Cruise.

So go to the song request thread.. and load him up. Please make sure you get your requests in BEFORE the boat leaves!

Who's the back up now that Ronan's gone? It's a lotta Dj'ing for one person

Already taken care of

Nice

Hmmmmmmmm

He,he....you all are stuck with me for the next 2 Gothic Cruises. YAY!!!

So is there a backup? Or does " It's taken care of " mean your are going to try and DJ all the nights and signings and deck parties and we can hope that you don't fall ill whether from seasickness, food poisoning or even alcohol "poisoning". If there is then who? If not, why not?

Cough! Cough! Dj Crono Von Bankin..... Dont worry we wont put too much poison in your Bahama mama.

DJ Codec will be the relief-Codec is Paul from the last cruise.

If your asking about about me, no I wasn't on the last cruise. Cant wait for this one. Just hope you have a arsenal of music on hand, because we bring Nuclear war on the dance floor.

I'm assuming your asking about the other D.j. but my name id Paul as well.

arsenal isn't the word I would use.. music fills up his entire second bedroom, which doesn't include his computer files.
Cross-referenced library, I think, would be more accurate. LOL =D

Thats what I like to hear. People have no idea what a Dj is now days. All because you can download music and play it dont make you a Dj. Back in the day it was how big your cd books were and how you hunted down the best import track before anyone else, not to mention beat matching. which sadly not many Industrial/goth Djs know how to do. I'm a bit of a critic being a Dj and all. But looks like I have nothing to worry about =)

Sweet...

Time to strap on my best pair of stomping and dancing footware. It's going to be a long 8 days...

Thanks, babe. She's right, my second bedroom is nothing but wall to wall cd's, tapes, records,etc. IT IS my music room. Nah, I don't thik I have to worry about too much.

Edit-
which sadly not many Industrial/goth Djs Don't know how to do. I'm a bit of a critic being a Dj and all....

Well I'll make sure to bring a flash drive if you dont mind, and be a pain in the ass with a couple of song request =p

Remember, Dj Scandy will all ready be on the boat. not saying he will but in a pinch he might...

DJ's, DJs, everywhere,

And not a tune to spin.

Lol!

Yeah, true. You know what, I think I'm ready to leave my "dj complex" at home lmfao...

Inquiring minds want to know though, Z, you have really heard NOTHING from Ronan or his manager? That's crazy! How did you book them last time? Just seems so weird that he would purposely blow you off for so long rather than just saying he didn't want to do it anymore, you know?

when booking VNV Nation for an actual onstage performance, I had to go through their booking agent.

To book ronan as a DJ.. you have to go through him personaly.

No. I have not had a single phone call, email, message.. nothing since Dec 23rd 2007. Not even smoke signals. zip. zilch. nada.

Wow! Kinda unprofessional, but sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. Even though most of the time your initial judgment was right. I hope he at least drops an e-mail.

Makes no sense, since he said "100%, wouldn't miss it".
Maybe he's a habitual procrastinator? Very bummed about
this :(

Phah!

Aritists!

maybe he's a sore ass.... I heard (i wasn't there, merely from the reviws and word of mouth) He played DJ here in L.A. for an industrial club and everyone was like "what the hell is this? -Shit!" He was all but hurt sctreaming through the mike "what's wrong with you people? everyone loves this in europe!!!!" "or the hottest thing in europe" "-I wasn't there that night"
Yet time wise i think it conflicts. It was a few months ago....
When did he disappear again? last word I mean.
I can't entirely blame them... people like to dance to shit they know. I know I like to know when the beat is ganna change and know my next move and all... Impro is cool and all iIF I'm drunk enough and the song rips.

...anyway, if he want's to be a prick, let him be one... it's his choice.
I liked VNV,and all, now, with new colors.... comes new llight. it's a shame.

What kinda of stuff was he spinning?

I don't know. I wasn't there. I just he had a bad attitude that night and was playing wierd shit according to the witnesses. I'll ask again for the description and get back to you.

I'm disappointed that Ronan will not be on the cruise. That was a major justification for the expense for me. However I suppose the trip will still be worthwhile. I've bought some CDs of the bands that are booked so I can build up an appreciation of seeing them perform live.

I have three motives for going on the cruise. First, I will shoot a lot of video for my YouTube channel. Second, I've never socialized with goths so I hope to observe and learn a lot about what other people are into. Third and most importantly the trip should ignite my imagination and I place a high value on fueling my vision.

I'm busy preparing for a meetup in Philadelphia now. I'm reading an interesting book about the nightlife in that city. Doing my research. LOL

Ronan was supposed to DJ?!?!?! Bands are playing???? Goths are going????? Next there will be some Rivetheads... I only signed up because of the open bar. I plan on a diary of how I am going to damage my liver.

Holly shit.....open bar? I better start training. LOL.

You gotta problem with Rivetheads?

That's OK, I don't like myself either...

mayhaps its wrong of me to offer a suggestion, but....

what about an open dj night?

or perhaps even multiple dj's?

nothing personal to anyone since i dont know any of them, or their styles, but typically a night out at any club shows that multiple dj's are the way to go. if i (you, her, him!) dont like the genre the dj plays, im screwed, and the entire event gets a little less fun.

its hard (impossible?) to find a dj that covers EVERY genre. most dj's tend to have a certain style or sound they prefer, and thats fine, but not everyone will ever like that style.

plus, last year i met 5? 6? dj's. im sure we would all love to play for our friends and show them what we are made of! :)

just a thought....

I think it would be a great idea to mix it up a little!

Yes mix it up, I found it so interesting that people from other states seemed to have fav club songs different than others and then there were classics that everyone loved and knew city to city, I wonder what makes it vary and I think it's due to the different D.J.'s we're exposed to and what they feed us on club nights, same band but a different fave song, everyone loved And One Military Fashion Show, and Apop's Love never Dies, but some of the others were different, it made for a nice experience!!

At least play requests. Last year we would ask stev to play certain songs and we would never hear them. You need to play to what the people want to dance to. If the song clears the dance floor it is time to change the song!

Never to worry...Paul and I will have a notebook for you all to write requests on plus all the requests on this forum will be played. Between the 2 of us, I know we have a very broad spectrum of music. Plus don't forget about Scandy.

We can even throw in some country or bluegrass, if that's what you like...the possibly of you may hear are limitless. Be ready for an experience. I have been known to play Stryper-To Hell With The Devil for the laughter. :)

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss! Then I can throw a Bible at you lol

Country?????

Bluegrass?


*faints from fright*

I wouldn't want to make a night of it, but its sometimes fun to mix in some 'olde skool' stuff like

Bauhaus, Sisters, Cure, 80's, etc.

These old bones don't move slowly enough to dance to it as much, but hey, its fun to get the night started!

I agree with Skully, a couple songs here or their might let some re-energize or get rid of some of that alcohol as well as entertain some others. You don't need to go to far from your norm but a break in the pace might be ok also.

Ice, Ice baby would be nice!

Bumped

can we take over Disco Inferno again? I love that setup!

Duuuude! I got accused of inciting trouble! no matter.. I hate that Carnival DJ.

So.. absolutely. There is a 1 hour gap on the first night between the deck party and the "club goth at sea" in the ivory lounge. sooooo


we can all sing "hey mickey" again.

Count us in!!!

Maybe I can set up really fast and join in on that fun. :)

Don't sacrifice the setup...the 1-4 run in our room is more important!!!

Dog, take photos for me and show me...I was just kidding about that anyway.

well I think if nothing else we kicked up the energy in the room.

Everyone was sitting there doing nothing until we showed up.

Ronan still has not returned the emails from Friday and Saturday. He was supposed to have contacted me on Friday.

Z.

Just to keep you all warm, this is what we looked like during our semi-hostile takeover...

He,he. I forgot that I wore the Veil that night.

IT was great! The Carnival DJ was so mad us. He absolutely hates playing anything other then wrap, reggae or salsa.

And, it did not escape my attention just how many of us knew ALL the words to songs like - Hey Mickey and Hit Me With Your Best Shot.

As of this morning Weds, May 7th - Ronan still has not emailed or called me. Though he had promised to reach me last Friday.

I will not send anymore emails to him. At this point, I have chased him down as much as I am going to over the last 6 months.

I had already confirmed DJ Evelfaery as our DJ the begining of April, which is why I started this thread. I am beyond my deadline with the cruise line on our DJ - so it has to stand as is. We are working on getting all the advertisements changed.

Just a note. I had done everything in my power to get Ronan to keep his word. However, I cannot force him. So at this point, my attorney will continue to persue the missing CD's from the 2007 Cruise.

Keep your music requests coming in though! We still have 3 bands onboard.. and a ton of events!

And.... a few "quirky" surprises.

Wow!

Well you've obviousy done above and beyond all you can Z and I'm sure everyone appreciates that. Only thing is, a lot of people are booked that never read these boards. My only suggestion would be to somehow notify everyone via email or otherwise. Because Xerxes and I have recently spoken to people already booked since the last cruise who don't do VR and have no clue!

people don't need to join to check out the threads. only if they want to post. that is how i started and then i eventually joined to post. i couldnt believe how much info was on here.

I am working on getting everyone notified.. however, I have told everyone multiple times to check this board at least twice a week to keep informed of everything going on. It's also on my website for everyone to keep checking this board.

I also sent out a cruise information letter via email to everyone informing them they need to checkt this board at least twice a week as this is where I post my primary updates.

however, I am still going to try to get everyone emailed so they know that ronan is not DJing. I can only do so much at once.

Zaida

I think what makes it heartbreaking is the fact that they hung out with us the whole week and just had fun.

It does piss me off to a degree, but I'm not going to let it taint the awesome time I had or the memories of everyone I met.

Besides, I'm going to see lots of you again, and THATS what makes it fun!

Well said...

155 days to go!

Of course Rivetheads are going to be there. STOMP!

Requests will not be played on the spot during the outside deck parties. If you really want a song played during the welcome aboard deck party, or the farewell deck party, IT MUST BE MADE HERE.


any music with profanity or suggestive lyrics CANNOT be played during the outside deck parties. This is because we are hooked into the ships midship speakers. That means EVERYONE can hear the music - not just us. Please the outside decks are open areas, so other people can walk by and hear it as well.

This rule does NOT apply to our private parties or the concerts.

Zaida

Understood.

Good thing us rivetheads listen to stuff with vocals distorted beyond recognition....

I'll make sure to make a final list at least 45 days before so he can plot :P

I think Hey Mickey is still more suggestive than a lot of goth music, but hey.

Zaida:

The advertisement on the right hand upper corner for the Gothic Cruise still indicates DJ Performance by Ronan of VNV Nation.

Corolla
hardk0re

Yes. I know. We are working on a new banner - which is not easy since:

1. I didnt make it.
2. The file is locked
3. The person who made it is no longer contactable.

Zaida

Zaida:

Yikes. That's a headache and a half.

Corolla

Im just going to have to make a brand new one.. which I suck at.

I consider as long as the dj is qualified I consider it is fine

Seems like there should be some boi who could do it for you....
any offers?

I agree with Oceane.. As long as the Dj is good.

There are no worries about DJ E...He will go above and beyond for us...You can count on that one... ;)...I can't wait to see everyone again too....What a trip!!

I agree CrystalJolynn DJ E is "da bomb"

I have total confidence in EvelFeary and Codec!! Woot!! Not only did they both know how to have a great time... Evel outdrank me last time. =( Still a plus for him though!! This is going to be awesome.

Just.. Awesome.

I'm going to have to ask for some Flobots. =D Its the clap song! LoL!!

Aw,you're so sweet. He,he...don't think I will be able to outdrink you this time,seeing all the events I have to concentrate on. :)

Yeah, I was wondering about that. S'o.k... I haven't really been "training" for the number 1 drinker slot. All things considered, I'm probably not going to drink quite as much as I did last time.... although that open bar is gunna get me. Oi.

Still, its going to be good to see all of ya again. Doubt we're going to be across the hallway though. Dunno about that. =D

Not to worry,we always seem to meet up somewhere...like the sweet Tiki Bar in Cozumel shooting Poppers and what not.He,he.

Ahhh, that fateful day in Cozumel... Where it was everyone's birthday, free shots, fake boobs, and lots of oddly done American remade classics!!

LoL... My voice was gone when we were there cuz of all my OI!!'ing everyone. Good times, thought.. good times. Least now I can honestly answer.. When posed with the option to spit or swollow! =D I certainly didn't know I could deep throat so much .. and still manage to to spill it everywhere when I couldn't swollow... *Sniff*

Er... I am talking about a Corona Bottle, people. -.-

O.o
Where are your minds at.
o.O

while it was kind of disappointing to hear that ronan would not be DJing, i agree that it doesn't really matter who is doing it so long as they are good at it.
bonus points for the 80s goth stuff tho. siouxsie sioux is the queen or everything!

As long as the dj is good that is what makes the party fun.

Does this man look ready to spin to you?



I say...YES!

Woot!!! Great pic dog!!!!!

Absolutely!

::graps whips, chains, locks, and cuffs.... just in case!::

Not without the purple veil!

Thanks everyone...I'm so freaking ready...with stranger hair this year and Z, will this be a repeat of what happened in New Orleans...he,he. I HOPE so. :)
