| DJ Teri Ninetails |
I have seen and heard Teri "The Professor" Ninetails at the Velvet and The Dirty Glass and always get to hear songs I love.Teri does great mixes that are as eclectic as her Terry Gilliam looking DJ Booth she designed! Verde and I caught her recently and had a great time as she stayed on a bit longer for the next DJ to show up.
Are you DJing currently and where?
I'm DJing my ass off! My regular gigs, right
now, are at the Dirty Glass on Thursday nights, and the Velvet on Fridays.
When did you start DJing?
Ha ha... well, I haven't been at it very long,
honestly. I started in late September or October of 2012, I think. I remember
it was before Halloween, but after my birthday.

First Club?
The Velvet! The only place I've played
consistently from the start.
Most unusual thing you saw while DJing?
There was that one night where everyone had
plungers. Some where holding them, some were wearing them. Toilet plungers. I'd
try to explain, but it wouldn't make any more sense.
Favorite music?
I like things that are upbeat. If it's
something you'd listen to that would keep you awake on a long drive, or
something they'd play in a movie behind a barfight, that'd be my style. Genre
doesn't matter, so much as energy.
Influences?
Probably my biggest influences was the radio I
used to listen to as a courier. I'd drive "emergency rush" files from
office to office, between Baltimore and Washington DC. If I had an emergency in
the afternoon, I'd sometimes be stuck for hours, so I had to play some music to
keep myself awake at the wheel.
What do you listen to at home?
The same stuff I play for my audience! I'm
exactly what I make myself out to be. When I DJ, you're basically listening to
what I play for myself.
Do you have a regular set you play, a “go to”
set?
Oh, absolutely not. Every week I make a
playlist, then check it against my playlist from the week before to make sure
there's not too many duplicates. It'd be impossible for me to play the same set
twice, and I do it that way on purpose.
When can we hear you DJ usually?
I work a lot, so only in the SL Afternoons; my
RL job takes up most of my time, from 3:30 AM to 1:30 PM SLT every weekday (I
THINK I calculate those times right). The best time for me, and the time both
of my regular gigs happen to fall on, is from 5 to 7 SLT.
Cream and sugar or black?
Lots of cream and lots of sugar. I don't much
care for the taste of coffee, but I need it when I have to wake up so early and
work such long days.
Cat or Dog?
That's hard to choose. I love all animals so
very much. But I'd probably have to pick dog, only because of my three very
sweet puppies that I snuggle daily.
If you could take one thing from your
inventory for real-life use, what would it be, and why pick it?
My Novatech TARDIS. It'd be my mode of
transportation AND my house. And it can fly.
So come hear Teri at The Velvet and The Dirty Glass and enjoy a well thought through set!
