DJ A.M.: Hollywood Shuffle

DJ hired to play SFMOMA party says it's about tunes, not his L.A. glitz: Aidin Vaziri | Yes, we know Adam Michael Goldstein is the soon-to-be-husband of Nicole Richie. And, sure, he used to play with Crazy Town and Papa Roach, two of the more dubious bands not just in recent memory but of the whole past century. But it's his record collection that reassures us that the 32-year-old Philadelphia native who goes by the professional name DJ AM is the right guy to rock the Post-Modern Party after the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's Modern Ball on Wednesday. Surveying the stacks of vinyl crowding the walls and floors of his Los Angeles home, he estimates over the phone that there must be something like 7, 000 discs in there, ranging from Wu-Tang Clan's "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" to Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Of course, he could make room for a few more but then where would he put the 600 designer sneakers he owns? Between his four regular weekly gigs -- two in Hollywood, two at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas -- and the wedding planning, it's lucky Goldstein made time at all for the San Francisco event. Having served as Hollywood's unofficial celebrity DJ since 1993, when he held a residency at the popular star lair Dragonfly, he contends that now the perfect night doesn't entail playing Killers records for the likes of Brad Pitt and Lindsay Lohan but loading up on rented videos and microwave popcorn. "Home with my fiancee, relaxing and watching movies in bed," Goldstein says. "That's my favorite thing."
