My saturday evening began by meeting a friend of mine at 5 Guys for a bite to eat before we headed to the Roseland Ballroom for the 92.3 One Night Stand. As we walked in, DJ Earworm was on stage performing his hit 2010 mashup “Blame It On the Pop”, which features all the songs on the top 100 hits list of 2009. This was a phenomenal opening to the night, and a great way to follow up on my previous post where I had the opportunity to interview the amazingly talented young DJ. However, it all went downhill from there. Following DJ Earworm came Aaron Fresh. He at least had one, maybe two songs worth listening too, and there was definitely some talent there. But would it really have been asking too much to spare us from what came next??? Most people have heard the new one hit wonder “According To You”, but does anyone know who the artist is? Well, now I do….. and according to me, Orianthi has a thing or two…… or 50, to learn about songwriting. She is a fantastic guitarist, but I was completely unimpressed by her performance, as I am sure many who were there could agree with me. As my friend and I jeered at Orianthi’s performance, the girls in front of us (who could not have been wearing shorter skirts) gave us the glare from hell. I thought they were going to rip my head off….. it was hilarious. Needless to say, after this performance people started leaving, including my friend and I. As we headed back uptown towards the Triborough, we could not stop laughing at the performance that ruined the night. Unfortunately for Jason DeRulo and the adorable New Boyz, the house had emptied out a little bit, no thanks to Orianthi.
also make sure to visit =)

United State of Pop 2009 (Blame it on the Pop)
I have to thank one person for supporting me and dazednreviewed.com before I had even put it up yet: San Francisco’s Jordan Roseman, also known as DJ Earworm. This amazing DJ has probably gotten his latest mashup stuck in everyone’s head already, and if not you just wait; United State of Pop 2009 will be stuck in your head for days after you hear it! (amongst the rest of his musical masterpieces!) I was so excited when he agreed to do this interview, so I just have to say thank you so much again!!! keep up the awesome work! I can’t wait to see what comes next! :)
1) It’s pretty safe to say that “DJ Earworm” is an original name. How did you think of that?
Earworm is a word for a song that gets in your head. It’s from “Ohrwurm” in German. I thought that was a good goal, to get music deep into people’s heads!
2) How and when did you develop an interest in being a DJ and creating your mash-ups? What did you do in order to pursue that interest? Have you always been interested in doing this?
I’ve wanted to be a musician since college. I knew I wanted to write music and to make it with computers. So I studied music in high school and college, and spent many years making original electronic music and writing songs on the piano. I made my first mashup accidentally when I was making a mixtape, and friends encouraged me to make more and post them online. Once I got a website, I called myself DJ Earworm, learned to DJ, and before long I was getting gigs. Having a background in piano and electronic production made learning to DJ a LOT faster and easier.
