ok so @arachnid-disc-jockey's lil djmm brought me the wonderful inspiration to just... roleswap? or sizeswap? DJMM and the little windups
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he has a windup light inside of him that is on it's last thread of life but still blinks!

There's also DJ Music Man, with giant CDs instead of cymbals!
She's also based off of starry night octopi rather than spiders, as she, instead of having a tunnel system, can simply contort and squish into small spaces like a freak. Horrible!
She has accidentally flung windup into oblivion while he was riding on one of her CDs.

Today, on April 4, 1995, passed away at the age of 50 Kenny Everett, British comedian and radio disc jockey known for his irreverent, offbeat comedic style.
Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett met in 1974, when the singer was a guest on Everett's show, and had become close friends since.
🔹Brian May recalls 'Bohemian Rhapsody' song:
"We were told it was going to be a hard sell, but it ended up being easy because Kenny Everett stole the tape from a playback session we had to launch the 'Night At The Opera' album and took it upon himself to go out and play it to death.
That made everybody else sit up. All the rest of the radio outlets thought: "Oh God, we'd better get on this quick or else we'll be left behind!"
Queen wanted to release “Bohemian Rhapsody” as a single, but the record label EMI disagreed, claiming it was too long for radio play. In order to break the deadlock, Freddie took it to his friend, the radio DJ Kenny Everett, for a second opinion. He played it 14 times that weekend, generating huge interest, and filling the order books at record shops. Consequently, while the single was released in edited form in some countries (most notably France), the international hit version remains a full length opus.
🔹Freddie commented afterwards:
“We were adamant that it could be a hit in its entirety. We have been forced to make compromises, but cutting up a song will never be one of them.”

Happy Birthday, Scottish radio deejay and broadcaster Ken Bruce, born February 2nd 1951 in Glasgow.
He was educated at, or at least attended, Hutchesons’ Boys’ Grammar School in Glasgow, where his achievements included being named “Laziest Boy in the School”. He did however, become Captain of Curling and took his team to the final of the Scottish schools Championships, such were the sports in Grammar schools!!
On leaving school, he studied accountancy for two years before discovering that he was not cut out to be a financial genius, or indeed any other kind, and became involved in a car hire company, rising from washing the cars to minor management.
In his spare time, he enjoyed hospital radio, and eventually talked his way into the BBC in Scotland, where he became an announcer. He read the news, introduced concerts and laughed, smoked and drank a great deal. He has, of course, improved his behaviour since then by giving up smoking.
His own daily show in Scotland followed, and he would have played out his days there had Radio 2 not come calling. The Saturday Late Show in 1984 was his first regular gig, and this led to the offer of the Breakfast Show the next year, when Terry Wogan departed for television. The year after that, he moved to the 9:30 slot, where he has remained, with just two intervening years in other slots, ever since. In 2019 it was announced that his show had had become the most popular radio programme in the UK, with 8.49m daily listeners.
In 1988, he became the radio commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest and has being doing that ever since too, although he is never quite sure why.
Ken loves proper live music though, being a failed drummer, and has a special soft spot for orchestral concerts, which is why he is delighted to have been involved with Friday Night Is Music Night for over ten years.
He has avoided the telly over the years, finding it all a bit frenetic, and also with a feeling that the viewing public are not quite ready for him; but he is happy to go on Countdown every so often because it is more like radio - no-one rushes around pretending it’s important.
He has been married three times and has six children, so is an obvious descendant of Robert The Bruce, whose experiences with the spider led him to “try, try, try again.”
When I posted about Ken in 2022 he had recently commented that he was content to remain at Radio 2 until the call comes to restore him to his rightful place on the Throne Of Scotland, well he hasn't retaken the crown, he did however quit the BBC in April last year, since then he has been on the commefcial station Greatest Hits Radio. Just yesterday there were stories that he is going from strength to strenght there, and has seen his audience grow to 3.8m, as his old station continues to lose listeners. Greatest Hits Radio, in large part thanks to Bruce’s success, has seen a large jump in its average audience over the last 12 months, up 70% from 4 million to 6.8 million
Someone once mentioned Ken looked a bit like the late Sean Connery, although Ken says it was because he impersonated him once, anyway, he briefly got to meet “Big Tam”, Ken says
“He sauntered up to me with a faint smile on his face and said: ‘I hear you think you look like me.’ I muttered awkwardly: 'Oh well, sometimes on one of my good days … ’ To which Sean responded: 'And one of my bad ones.’ He walked away, seemingly amused, but nowhere near as amused as my colleagues.”

Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: Grandmaster Flowers
Tumblr media
A true pioneer whose skills swayed the dawn of young hip-hop DJs, is Grandmaster Flowers. Reigning from Brooklyn, New York, Flowers was notorious for mixing disco and funk records in superb sequence. During the late 70s, his infamous sets at New York City’s Labor Day Parade generated a rhythm for NY DJs. After opening for James Brown in 1969 at Yankee Stadium, Flowers proved the prominence of the DJ. By bursting the hail of hip-hop DJs, Grandmaster Flowers’ rich influence will always be honored.
