So, we did the DJ Explosion! thing again on
saturday night. It's a monthly residency at the hip tavern in our 'hood
(the whole band lives within a six-block radius, which is great).
Instead of playing as a band with instruments--that seems like an
outmoded classification since one of the "instruments" in the band is a
mixer + decks
but anyway--all the band members have been showing up with vinyl and
doing consecutive sets. We've done this 4 or 5 times now, and it's a
blast.
This time out Bucky Pope was guest DJ.
The theme was PUNK ROCK!
I started off the night with a history lesson set, kicking things
off right with with Bowie ("Rebel Rebel") and New York Dolls
("Personality Crisis.") If I remember correctly, the rest of the set
was as follows:
Velvet Underground - 1966 bootleg with incredibly weird John Cale drone
The Clash, "Charlie Don't Surf"
Generation X - "Night of the Cadillacs"
Violent Femmes - "Hallowed Ground"
Replacements "My Favorite Thing"
Husker Du - "Crystal"
Sounds of History - 1981 newscast on degenerate youth
Black Flag - "Six Pack"
Mecht Mensch "Acceptance"
Blondie "Hangin' on the Telephone"
Tones On Tail, "Go!"
David Byrne/Brian Eno, "Regiment"
Robin Davies turned in an incredible set fed by his collection of punk and hardcore 45s and ...flexi-discs. I'd like to obtain his set list. There was a lot of Midwest hardcore--Killdozer and Imminent Attack. Killer.
Bucky's set was electic-o but very good, considering I was explaining
to him how to get a headphone mix vs. a room mix five minutes before he
went on.
