Entry #0018

As the last entry said, there has been a ton of stuff going on lately. We just moved into our new house, and are loving every minute of it. Tricia and I are to be married very very soon, less than 3 months (72 days to be precise) away now! I did want to say thanks to my folks and friends who have helped us paint, move in, etc and who have helped out with the wedding stuff.

On a side note, I have regained control of djsavage.com!!

So now if you go to djsavage.com or djsavage.net it will take you to the same place. I forgot to renew the domain name a few years back and another DJ from the UK snatched up the site. He used to go by the name DJ Savage as well; however his name is really Jeroen Joosten, and he now he goes by Svache, another stage name. When this happened, I attempted to contact him to regain the website and was met with much resistance and finally no contact what-so-ever. I had the website for 3 years before he snatched it, and I did all the web advertising and marketing to drive hits to the site. I had the url mp3.com/djsavage from the time mp3.com started until its demise in December of 2003.

“Until a while ago, Svache was better known as DJ Savage but due to his change of musical interests (and also a bit because there are more people called ‘Savage’) he decided to change his ‘main’ name into Svache as this doesn’t reflect the hard styles which ‘Savage’ can be with the literal translation of that name.” http://www.svache.com

So by his own admission, he took the name Savage before really checking up to see who else had the name, or even what the name meant. His statement, “Svache is a unique name and thus the decision was easy to make,” is quite odd because if that were the case, why didn’t he use that to begin with? My real name is Dylan Joseph Savage; DJ Savage is my name, not a pseudonym, and I was established in 1982. According to Joosten’s website, he started in 1994.

There is also a very famous DJ Anne Savage who is a DJ here in the US (her name is real too, hmmm). So I suppose my point is: if you haven’t done your research and don’t know how to build a website(here’s what it looked like when he had it), then don’t go snatching up domains just because you can. Oh, and get a better translator.

-DJ Savage (a.k.a. DJ Savage) and soon to have a Savage wife as well!
