I though clubs paid the wages, not leagues. Don't what that table is supposed to show. Players in PL get a lesser percentage of the clubs revenue than other leagues. Just looked at the top six and the average wage is higher proportion of the average club income for all the other 5. Presumably our league is better running and more viable?
I didn't realise they were that low-paid. DJ's earn more: 2013 1. Calvin Harris ($46 million) 2. Tiesto ($32 million) 3. David Guetta ($30 million) 4. Swedish House Mafia ($25 million) 5. Deadmau5 ($21 million) 6. Avicii ($20 million) 7. Afrojack ($18 million) 8. Armin van Buuren ($17 million) 9 (tie). Skrillex ($16 million) 9 (tie). Kaskade ($16 million) 11. Steve Aoki ($14 million) 12. DJ Pauly D ($13 million) 13. Diplo ($13 million)
It'd be interesting to see figs for La Liga wages less Barca and Real, Bundesliga less Bayern and Dortmund
Reckon League 1 would be higher than a few on that list too.....surely higher than the Nigerian league
Would be interesting to see my us less Chelsea and Man City. In any case it is irrelevant. The figures show the average income and average wage. As a proportion of a clubs income the average player in thepL takes less than one at the bottom of the list.
If you want depressing one Direction made £70 million last year. Lots of people make far more than footballers.
The modern "DJ" show doesn't even involve virtual turntables any more, never mind real ones. You're lucky if they're even mixing it live on a laptop. One of the guys on that list, deadmau5, happily admitted that since the lights show and all that is so important, the music can't be wrong, so he basically just presses "play" and jumps about. They all do, some like Guetta and Steve Aoki have an army of ghost writers, so not only is he not actually "DJing", he's pressing play on music he has paid other people to make for him. Miles from the roots of even modern dance music. Trust the americans to water down and commercialise everything, eh?
I'd never heard of him 'til last year. My youngest designed & made an Ipod docking station in "his style" as a tribute to him for his design & technology GCSE. He must of done a good job because he passed with a B. Although he was disappointed he didn't get an A. I still really don't know who he is or what he does.
That's a huge generalisation based on what I'm guessing is very little knowledge. For a start America invented house music, as for ruining it, half the people on that list aren't even American. Perhaps one or two on that list actually meet your misconceptions, however most of those people are talented producers in their own right. As for the 'modern DJ' not using turntables or mixing live, you only have to go a decent house night and you'll see the art of DJ'ing is alive and well.
Unfortunately I know quite a lot about modern "EDM" and the positively **** culture around it. I am more than aware that real DJs on real nights will actually be mixing live, normally with CDJs, but no one on that list is a real DJ. There is no jockeying of disks, or anything really. http://deadmau5.tumblr.com/post/25690507284/we-all-hit-play Chicago House is miles from what you might see at Ultra or wherever, the fact it was originally created in the same country doesn't invalidate how crass and commercial mainstream dance music is in the States, to the point where bellends like Paris Hilton can bounce about to a backing track for $10k a night in Vegas or Miami or wherever. Even if half of them on that list aren't American citizens, that is were they spend 99% of their time making easy money. As for "good" producers on that list, hmm, maybe deadmau5, and even then he's spent most of his career making 4-to-the-floor house and only recently started experimenting with IDM and such. Not a scratch on people like Jon Hopkins or Richard D James or whoever.
