Dear Old Dudes,
We would let you hang out with us more if you had a modicum of decorum and didn’t get all horny all the time. Why can’t you be like this guy, a scholar and a gentleman that plays great old records we never heard and then cheerfully fucks off when he’s done.

I wish DJ Derek was my Uncle or something. He's awesome, great dj & a lovely bloke to boot.

Hey Squirby, a lot of people don't know what "modicum of decorum" is because a lot of people use plain ENGLISH! Screw off!

Holy shit thats DJ Derik! He is a legend, and plays in the westcountry in the south of England, playing incredible old school dub and reggea on the heaviest sound system ever. He just goes through his minidiscs, lights a spliff and talks in a pace-maker, jamaican accent over the top. God damn fucking worship this man!

Holy fuck, buy a dictionary. If you don't know what a modicum of decorum means, you probably don't have one. Fucking retards post on this shit. Where the fuck were you educated, Mario Land?

My sister lives in Bristol where this dude is from. A few years back he sent me a photocopied flyer all it said was ...

"DJ Derek is selling his records"

Regretably I presumed he was some shitty wedding Dj and I was just passing up the chance to own a bunch of NOW albums. As it stands he was selling all his 45s having transfered them all to Mini DIsc.

Wait till the guy finds Serato those mini disks will be worth a fortune!

Looks like Gavin went into dictionary found "modicum" and "decorum" and decided that they were so awesome together that he would use the phrase more than Terry Riley used the note C.

i have friends who are into all that Big Chill stuff and i quite enjoyed it when i went once but...

Where the fuck did the idea that DJ Derek was any good come from. "Wow, a old white guy playing reggae! That's so cool." What are you, a fucking member of the BNP? There are hundreds of better black reggae DJs who don't even get a mention.

DJ Derek is a fucking novelty DJ who plays shit music. The End.

(If that's him, he does look quite cool though. he'd be a better model than a DJ).

It's not that Vice think any old fella is cool, in this case, they're absolutely right.

Looks like Gavin has been called "old" so many times that he's gone on an offensive against "old dudes" to deflect attention from the fact that so many people have called him old.
