"Y'alright mate? Got any Iron Maiden?"
"I'll just check with the others..." Yeah right.
First DJ experience last night. Bringing some tunes to the kids. Unfortunately the kids know dick. It's a regular indie/alternative night so our hands were tied, but may have our own shindig soon.
Highlights:
- Managing to sneak in, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", "Mama Said Knock You Out", some old school ska and "Welcome to the Jungle".
- The girls sure do love a DJ. Unfortunately, they also love Rancid.
- A kid came up asking advice on where to get dub music. He was referred to me. I was kindly and avuncular. Felt like John Peel.
- Martin queuing up Jump Around then accidently playing Fiesta by the Pogues. Dan having an aneurism trying to find the face-saving Darkness.
- When the tired old war horse, Jump Around, finally was trotted out, the kids absolutely loved it. Guess they've probably only heard it played half a dozen times in clubs. Also, they sure did "jump around".
- Segueing into EMF's Unbelievable made us very happy indeed. The kids looked at each other with baffled ignorance. Feel... very... old...
- Leaving the bar and hearing a group of pissed-ups still singing along to "God Gave Rock and Roll to You", the last song of the night. Obviously.
