He had his teeth crowned three years ago, at a cost of £10,000, to help to boost his career.

Uh-huh. How'd that work out for ya, f***pipe?

The 30-year-old from Beckenham, south London, says he has seen a significant drop in vinyl sales.

"Records aren't really shifting these days," said the electro house DJ. "It's been like this for a couple of months now and it's not getting any better."

He added: "It's more downloads everyone's interested in, so the music industry is taking a drop.

Really, genius? Vinyl is isn't selling like it used to? Who could have seen this coming?

He had his teeth crowned three years ago, at a cost of £10,000, to help to boost his career.

Ummm... how about using that money to invest in some lessons instead of a gimmick?

I was going to be saddened if it was Goldie that was selling his grill.



The last time I saw this man DJ he was so coked up that he was playing tracks that sounded like Satan's testicles were being processed through a meat grinder.

#1: That's because the iPod generation thinks beatmatching and real DJ skills are for pussies, and they just queue everything up in Serato or Ableton Live on their laptops and that's DJing. Therefore, no one buys vinyl anymore, which is sad for us real DJs.

#2: You spin Electro House. It's a Yah-Dude-Hey-Boy popped collar trend, it's going to die. 75% of it is remixes of non-electro music. If the hard house/trance era of 1997-2003 was the 1960s, Electro House is the coke-and-glam mid '70s, and it needs to die. Sell your teeth and get a job selling insurance.

THIS! Now Goldie, on the other hand, is a living legend.

See, these are the real victims of the hard times that we never hear about.

Ya! I've seen him twice. He was way better on the Goldie.co.uk Tour than the Metalheadz tour I saw him on.

And this douche should just switch to dubstep. He should know that electro is on it's way out in the UK.

Until about last year, vinyl sales where increasing at an exponential rate. DJs until recently, insisted on vinyl for club performances.

It may not matter much at home, but on a super-loud sound system, you can actually hear the cold, bitter, nails-on-a-chalkboard-underwater background noise that MP3 adds. WAV and AIFF just sound "cold", there is no soul to them. Vinyl is better, and you have to have some talent and dedication to be able to use it, which means you're not a no-talent hack.

That's why the club scene is CRAMMED with no-talent hacks since about 2 years ago.

I went to a dubstep show last night in Boston (my friend unofficially promotes for it, just some local DJs). Man, speaking of trendy nights, every stinky hipster I could imagine was there. I gotta say that dubstep isn't my thing either. Better than electro, though.

I lol at strident assertations of superiority ascribed to various subgenres of techno that I know nothing about.

beat me to it.

Saw him in Atlanta this past March w/ Gein. great show.

"It's a big decision getting rid of my teeth and could actually cost me my career, as I don't know if I'll be noticed with white teeth."

A British person saying that???

I don't buy vinyl anymore (simply can't afford it. MP3s, YES WE CAN!), but I'll be damned if I'm going to let Serato do my beatmatching for me. That literally takes 100% of the fun out of DJing.

Frowns upon your shennanigans.

Anthony Ghosh, aka DJ Talent, hopes to raise about £30,000 by selling all 28 of his gold crowns.

He had his teeth crowned three years ago, at a cost of £10,000, to help to boost his career.

So this douche thinks that his teeth have tripled in value because they've been in his head for a few years?

/If anyone buys these things they should be sterilized
//I don't think that'll be a problem, though

Can we stop misusing the farking FAIL tag please?

"It's a big decision getting rid of my teeth and could actually cost me my career, as I don't know if I'll be noticed with white teeth."

I dunno, try talent?

Ha ha. Loser.

Wanted: a girl to date a DJ with gold teeth. Must have strong arms for heavy lifting includes crates, and my ego. Looks not important to me, you will never look as good as the girls on my bootlegs white labels and CD covers, but please try not to look uglier than any of my DJ buddies' girlfriends. I really hate that. Don't. touch. my. equipment. I like music, long walks on any street that sells used records, music, being a hater, music, and i do like music. Must be able to watch several hours of DMC World Championship video footage.
P.S. If you've never heard of DJ Rectangle, please do not apply.

That wrestler/piledriver FAIL pic is quite possibly the best I've ever seen. I'm not even really sure what's going on, but it's hilarious.

FTA: "It's a big decision getting rid of my teeth and could actually cost me my career, as I don't know if I'll be noticed with white teeth."

If you're a good DJ then you don't need to worry about your gold teeth. Idiot.

wolvernova: Can we stop misusing the farking FAIL tag please?

Grinding perfectly healthy teeth down to nubs just for a short-lived gimmick is pretty FAIL-y to me.

/Assuming they were healthy
//British teeth joke here

who buys teeth for that much money? what do you do with those teeth? keep them in a small baggy and show people?

question_dj: I was going to be saddened if it was Goldie that was selling his grill.


When I saw the headline and the BBC tag, I was afraid it was going to be Goldie. Glad it's not him. His album Timeless is, well, timeless.

\ saw him open for Bjork in support of Timeless and Bjork's Post at the Hollywood Palladium - epic show

Hey there misspellmitter, it's teef, TEEF!

I would say you have excellent taste in music.

What the hell to DJs do anyway? Play other peoples music in a goofed up scratchy fashion? I can't think of a less valuable member of society.

Ya, get off this troll's lawn.

"Anthony Ghosh"???

What is he, an Italian Bengali?

Thank you.

See how they roll.

Why would anyone buy them? Yuck!

Why doesn't he just rob the jewelry store?

Winktologist: I went to a dubstep show last night in Boston

ah yes, Incyde and Pandaia and them. good folks!

Malbar

But but but, they have to time it so one thump lands on another thump!! They're talented musicians, really!!

I'm a DJ, would never even think of calling myself a musician but you do have to know the music of your chosen genre pretty much inside out to know where the thumps come in/ fade out!

\less hate, we do it for the kids ye know!

DJ joke...

Two DJs are in the pub. One says to the other, "Do you fancy coming down the cinema with me to see a film?"

Other DJ says, "I don't know - who's the projectionist?"

Malbar: But but but, they have to time it so one thump lands on another thump!! They're talented musicians, really!!

Maybe you confusing DJ as disc jockey with DJ as somebody who creates music in studio?
