DAVID BARTON: THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE NYMAG VIDEO CLIP SUBJECT

Just as drag queens have their drag mothers, DJs have DJ mothers who might show them the ropes, book them gigs or pass along their record collections. My DJ mommy, Tim Muprhy, decided to leave his record collection on the curb for the garbage men but graciously bequeathed his Pulse speakers, Gemini mixer and primitive Denon dual CD deck (only one cd player worked) to me back in 2002.

Tim makes hilarious videos for New York mag now, including his latest, which finds him "pretend DJing" behind the decks I use regularly at David Barton Astor Place as well as groping David Barton's stomach muscles.



Oh, and mommy wasn't kidding about being a former Chelsea muscle queen. Vintage pre-silver fox photo evidence below:
