No particular reason for that, just a good night. Evan (the DJ at the Vogue) was doing quite well, and the club was just crowded enough to be definitely crowded, without being so bad that I couldn’t get on the floor and bounce around.
I’d brought in a CD of requests, but apparently the CD player at the club is picky and wouldn’t read the burned disc. Evan’s got the CD now, though, and he’ll re-burn it to a CD brand that he knows works, and then I might get some of my requests in. Here’s the playlist for the cd:
- Depeche Mode: Flexible/Just Can’t Get Enough — a mix of two of my favorite DM tracks from a bootleg CD called the Twelfth Strike.
- Psychic TV: I.C. Water
- LaTour: Allen’s Got a New Hi-Fi
- Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark: Pandora’s Box (It’s a Long, Long Way) (Constant Pressure 12″)
- Drum Club: Sound System (Underworld)
- MC 900 Ft. Jesus: If I Only Had a Brain
- Devo: Head Like a Hole — Yup, Devo covering Nine Inch Nails. From, of all things, the Supercop soundtrack.
- 12 Rounds: Pleasant Smell (Rethought by Clint Mansell and Keith Hillebrandt for the Nothing Collective)
- Information Society: Going, Going, Gone (Razed in Black)
- Propellerheads featuring the Jungle Brothers: Take California (and Party)
- Public Enemy vs. Winx: Bring the Higher State of Noise — A mash-up of ‘Bring the Noise‘ and ‘Higher State of Consciousness‘.
- :Wumpscut:: Wreath of Barbs (Gray/Scale)
- Billy Idol: Don’t You Forget About Me — Billy Idol covering the Simple Minds track from the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club.
- Pigface: Mind Your Own Business
- The Kleptones: Listen — A mash-up of Queen‘s ‘Radio Ga-Ga‘ and a few different Beastie Boys tracks.
On the way home I happened to bump in to Janice, who I’d met last month sometime at the Vogue. She was on her way home from the Noc Noc with a friend (Tom…I think), so I stopped to chat with them for a few minutes. Last time I’d seen her I’d given her my LiveJournal name on a matchbook (which she got quite excited about…in a world of cell phones and PDA’s, the matchbook technique was very “old school”), so I harassed her about not having tracked me down yet to say hi. Nothing like a little friendly teasing to round out the night!
Earlier today I bussed out to the University Village to stop by the Apple Store and picked up iLife ’05. I haven’t done a ton of playing around with it yet, but so far, I’m liking the changes in iPhoto 5. Poked around for a few moments with the other programs in the suite, but iPhoto’s the only one that I spent any real time with.
New toys, yay!
Tomorrow…well, later today, I suppose (I’m up way too late tonight) there’s a march and rally in support of equal rights in marriage being put on by Equality Now that I’m planning on hitting. It starts just up the hill from my place at Broadway and Pine at 1pm, then goes down the hill to Westlake Plaza. Should be interesting, and hopefully get me some good pictures, too. We’ll see…
