Norwescon 39 Thursday Night Dance

Now that I’m prepping to DJ the Thursday night dance at Norwescon 45 in a couple months, I realized that I’d never posted my Norwescon 39 Thursday night dance recording here. Whoops! So here it is, a few years late — four and a half hours of music from the opening night of a science-fiction and fantasy convention. As is standard for me, it’s a mix of all sorts of stuff. Enjoy!

Sounds From the Lost Abbey 07

Back in February, I took up a challenge from one of my friends (prompted by the Gigs mix I posted) to create a mix based around songs that I’d have played at the Lost Abbey, during the mid- to late-1990s. To get a little help putting together the playlist, I put out a call for requests on Facebook, and ended up with something around 14 hours of possible songs, almost entirely pulled from requests by people who used to see me spin at the Lost Abbey.

Since 14 hours is far too long to do as a single mix, I’ve broken the requests up into multiple 80-ish-minute playlists. Here’s the seventh of quite a few to come!
