Punk rock on vinyl - it's harder to mix when the songs are one minute long.

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

Mickeys112505

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.
