Bostonist Was There: StarChefs.com Gala Tasting at The State Room 11/3/2009
On Wednesday nights in Allston at Common Ground, friends of Bostonist host iPod DJ Night. Music starts and sign-ups start around 9, and people get 15-20 minutes to play whatever they want from their mp3 players (it's not exclusively iPod so bring your iRiver). Common Ground is at 85 Harvard Ave.
This party was written up in the Globe and Herald last week, and is slowly growing to a decent size. Nights like this are huge in DC and NYC, so far this is the first of its kind in Boston.
iPod DJ night is a good way to impress strangers with your good taste, disparage others bad taste, and hear some new mash ups or rare b-sides. If you are like Globe writer Christopher Muther, and your tunes get dismissed, don't cry in your Stella.

Welcome to the age of Branding. Bostonist should read No Logo by Naomi Klein. That way they would stop promoting crap like iPod DJ night.
Would you be stoked if it was guido night at the living room? Don't lie to me.
But iPod DJ night would be fun no matter what brand of mp3 player was used (and Scott's article points out that it is not an Apple-only affair). So what's the big deal? Ought bostonist not report on events involving Frisbees, Thermoses, or Dumpsters?
thank you. as an ipod hater, i asked Andrew if my iriver was welcome and he said yes. ipod is now the generic name for mp3 player. like xerox is for copy machine. word on the street is shorting apple stock is the way to go.
oh, geeze. just another way for the already-pretentious, overwhelmingly-ironic hipsters to show off. :eyeroll: not to mention that you KNOW you're going to hear the same stuff you hear at Love Night anyway.
sounds like a snooze fest to me. i hope they don't charge a cover.
see, the thing about hipsters is that they're better than you.
oh, right ed. how soon i forget.
