Tomorrow is Melisande’s wedding. I’m doing my usual last-minute preparation for the DJ gig by digging through cd’s, ripping tracks I can see myself playing, gathrering music and burning cd’s. It’s amazing how much music I have, and how poorly I can distill it into something useful.
Here’s a list of what I actually burned. It’s just a tiny fraction of what I’m taking.
Urban Species
Us3
Alberto Iglesias
Toad The Wet Sprocket
that dog
The Stone Roses
Mick Harvey
The Connells
Electric Light Orchestra
Goldfrapp
The Breeders
Blind Melon
Black Box Recorder
Black Grape
Frank Black
The B-52’s
bis
The Beastie Boys
Baby Bird
AC/DC
Alice In Chains
Tori Amos
Azure Ray
Earlimart
It should be fun and laid back. There won’t be any dancing–I mean, not the way there was at Melissa’s wedding. You know, with the first dance and the couples dance and all that stuff. This is going to be more of a party gig.
I just hope I make it there on time.
