Hmmm......

Another memo on the wall, huh?

That could only mean one thing.

I guess it's time for ANOTHER B95 Mixer Idol.

You know, that contest that we seemingly run too often where we hire a new mixer based solely upon how many votes a person gets on our website.

If you want a new career DJing on the station and this sounds like a contest you want to win, I have only one small piece of advice: Don't do it, dude!

Wanna know why?

I've got two words for you: It's cursed.

Wait, make that three words: It's freakin' cursed!

Let's take a trip back into time.

Remember the first winner of the "Wanna Be a DJ" contest?
Yeah, he doesn't work here anymore.

How about the next contest winner.
Fired, you say? Who knows?

I seem to remember predicting a short reign for the next winner.
Quit after less than a week? For some reason, "I told you so" doesn't seem to cut it.

Right now, DJ Dizzy and DJ Kay Rich are part of the Unfadable Mix Squad. And both, by the way, are BAD ASS on the turntables.

And, you're right, they were both contestants in past "B95 Mixer Idol" contests.
But, the difference is (and this is the important part), they came in at a very close second, but weren't declared the "winner."

So, I think it's safe to say that if you have aspirations of being a long-term part of the Mix Squad......DON'T WIN THE FREAKIN' CONTEST!

Maybe we should consider hiring mixers the old-fashioned way, what do you think?

So, to the winner of the next "B95 Mixer Idol", I would officially like to say CONGRATULATIONS..........

.....also, we wish you well in your future endeavors.
