So I was lucky enough to start up some DJing in Nottingham town last night as part of Bring Your Bear at The Bodega. Amazing fun when I figured out the machinery and got to grips with the crazy levels situation… (having had my laptop stolen last November from our house, all I could use was my ipod, Rafe’s ipod and a scatter of CDs.) But it went incredibly well. Loads of happy people with waves of tune recognition glancing across their faces. There were appreciative high fives, a dude who explained to me that The Killers were named when Brandon Flowers spotted said name painted across a drumkit in the video for New Order’s Crystal, hilariously a random proposal of marriage, general good vibes from well wishers for Mike’s last night in town before L.A. re-steals him for a while and 5 and a half hours of music… not bad for a first proper venture back to the decks in over two years! So here’s to more of that!
Thought, just like back in the old days with Dave circa 2006/7 in Thomas Read, Dublin, I’d stick up the playlist. You might have liked something or just need some inspiration for listening material in this time of inspirational music drought!
