June 25 2008: A Little Bit of Everything (sort of)

A good set by all accounts. As the title suggests, we had a little bit of everything. I got tired of playing new shit, so I busted out some of my records to help ween me off of the habit of playing a ton of new stuff. God damn, I can't wait until our library is up and running again...

June 18 2008: Marble Countertops

Not a whole lot to report on. I got word of a promotional ticket give-away, so I tried to help the promotions director out and get rid of the tickets. I was 1/2. I might have failed in class, but the batting average is fucking good. Only had to rely on two or three of my "go-to" artists, which I guess is pretty good. Plus, I think I did a pretty good job managing the flow of dynamics in respect to the whole show.

Starting from Scratch...

Well, not quite but almost. Matt Little and I recently switched time slots. So, in honor of my departure from Monday nights, and my arrival on the Wednesday night airwaves, I'm not only going to try to update regularly (possibly with more than just playlists) but throw in some old ones too. So, look up on this page, or look down, I really don't know hot Blogger works, to find some recent stuff. I know I promised old playlists and all that shit in my last couple posts, but at this point most of them have been lost/destroyed/misplaced/sucked into a light fixture that leads to another dimension inhabited by bright blues and reds. Part of my reluctance to maintain the page was due to the volume of shows I was doing, or, in other words, didn't feel like upating. If I find them, I might post some of them. Really, if you want to know what I was playing there wasn't anything too, too exciting there. A lot of the new Dirtbombs album, a lot of the new Beach House album, the Black Hollies were also a mainstay, as well as Portishead. I do have stuff from ranging from late April to now-ish. I'll probably throw some of those in.
