What happened at Coachella and is Grimes a real DJ? - Ep #17

Ever found yourself nursing a toothache while the world hums along, blissfully unaware? That's just where our latest episode starts, with a hilarious recounting of my dental debacle - think split tooth, root canal, and the shadow of an impending implant. But this isn't just a tour through the tribulations of chewing rice cakes; it's a springboard into the chaos that unfurled at Coachella during Grimes' set. We peel back the layers of this technical tumult, discussing the pressures that artists like Grimes, with her high-profile connections and massive Spotify following, face in the unforgiving spotlight of live performance.Shift from enamel to the turntable's arm - this episode isn't just about teeth-grinding tension, it's about the art of spinning through adversity. My co-host and I share our tales of DJ distress, including a wedding gig that nearly went off the rails. With a narrative that's as much about empathy as it is about troubleshooting, we muse on the importance of composure, creativity, and readiness in the face of mishaps. Whether you're a music enthusiast or a fellow performer, this discussion serves up an insider's look at the electrifying, yet unpredictable, world of live performance - and how, sometimes, your next big hit might just come from the playlist on your phone.Visit our website: https://thecleverdj.comFollow us on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecleverdjInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecleverdj?utm_source=qr&igsh=ZnRubWZnMjl1M3lnYouTube Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCleverDJYouTube Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCleverDJClipsTwitter: https://twitter.com/thecleverdjTikTok: @TheCleverDJ
