Now that's what I call music

[lnr]

The jukebox just played the following two tracks:

• The Futureheads - Robot
• Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass

So I decided it was time for a 6musicish set. At first I just picked whoever I thought of, then went through the alphabet looking for things, this is what we've got:

• Hot Hot Heat - You Owe Me An I O U
• The Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So
• Razorlight - Don't Go Back To Dalston
• Rilo Kiley - Does He Love You?
• Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure
• Auf der Maur - I'll Be Anything You Want
• The Avalanches - Electricity
• The Bees - Chicken Payback
• British Sea Power - Please Stand Up
• Delays - Hey Girl
• Elbow - Grace Under Pressure
• Engineers - New Horizons
• Franz Ferdinand - The Dark Of The Matinée
• The Futureheads - First Day
• Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
• Idlewild - Safe And Sound
• Jeff Buckley - Lover, you should,ve come over
• Kaiser Chiefs - Caroline, Yes
• Kings Of Leon - Milk
• LCD Soundsystem - daft punk is playing at my house
• Neil Finn - Don't dream it's over (live at The Palace Theatre)
• Pixies - Caribou
• PJ Harvey - This Is Love
• Pulp - Lipgloss
• Supergrass - Jesus Came From Outta Space
• The Tears - Imperfection
• The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart
• Wedding Present - Brassneck

Of course someone who was actually any good at DJing would be more discriminating and pick things that actually went together better, or at least put them in a better order. I've no idea how you learn these things :-) Most of the tracks are from recent purchases of mine, some older, one or two are rjk's and a few are from the HMV playlist CD from February 2005.

In other news yesterday I slept most of the day, locked myself out for an hour and a half in the rain with no shoes in the afternoon, went to a party at GR in the evening which was mostly pleasant and had good beer, came home late and stayed up later geeking, got much better at both loopy and crochet, made djsd a CD of porn, cooked dinner for tonight, and generally faffed. A pleasantly quiet weekend for the most part.

Been faffing around with DJing - I've got some gigs coming up.

The setlist I just ran through at a nice indie-friendly 126bpm;

Blur - Girls and Boys
Ladytron - Seventeen (Soulwax Remix)
Soulwax - E Talking (Tiga's Disco Drama Remix)
Daft Punk - Human After All
New Order - Blue Monday (original 12" mix)
The Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers
!!! - Me And Giuliani Down By The Schoolyard (LFO Remix)
Primal Scream - Swastika Eyes (Chemical Brothers Remix)
Mylo - Drop The Pressure
The Futureheads - Hounds of Love (Phones' Wolf At The Door Remix)

Doubt I'll get a 6Music gig in a hurry, though.

(Oh, and Brassneck is a fantastic track, innit? :)

Tis indeed, off "The Dark Side of the 80s" which is cheesy heaven.
