Pop Will Eat Itself

Seattle Worldcon 2025 Wednesday Night Dance

by

As described on the Seattle Worldcon 2025 schedule:

From dance clubs in Alaska in the ’90s to being a recent regular DJ at Norwescon, DJ Wüdi spins an eclectic mix of dance tracks from across the decades. Pop, electronica/dance, wave, disco, goth/EBM/industrial, convention classics, mashups… (almost) anything goes!

Me standing at a table in front of a MacBook on a stand, in front of a large screen with fancy graphics including cover art and audio waveforms of the songs being played.
I may not have the most attended dances, but I have fun trying to make them look good.

The opening night’s dance at Seattle Worldcon 2025, recorded live at the Sheraton Grand hotel in downtown Seattle where the Worldcon After Dark programming was held, just a few blocks away from the Convention Center Summit building that was home to the daytime programming. Because this is an unedited live recording, there are a few flubs (some subtle, but some notable train wrecks right off the bat)…but hey, that’s just proof that I’m a real human and not genAI. ;) Pop it on in the background and enjoy four hours of the Seattle Worldcon nightlife!

Difficult Listening Hour 2021.04.17: It’s About Time!

First there was a time change, then I had other things monopolizing my time, then my computer crashed and I couldn’t get it back online in time to broadcast last Saturday, so this week, I’m finally back, and it’s about time! As in, every track has “time” in the title.

Unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants, let’s-see-what-happens mixing. This week ended up being (nearly) all ’80s alternative. Some of my favorite classics in here, and some transitions that I’m quite happily surprised by. Enjoy!

Difficult Listening Hour 2020.07.25

by

Week twenty-two of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.

The DJ tried to kill me

by

Last night at The Vogue was really good — Ogre was DJing, standing in for Evan, and he kept making it damn near impossible for me to get off the dance floor. Always a good thing, of course, since it means that the music is consistently good — but then he topped it all off by playing Pop Will Eat Itself‘s “Can U Dig It?“, off of This is the Day…This is the Hour…This is This! I’m a big PWEI fan, and would never have expected to hear that at a club. Too cool.

Stupid question: There was this song that had an industrial feel to it that I heard at a club last night… The only words I remember weren’t english, but they were something like: “Ich bin ein hauslander” (forgive me… I don’t speak german. That was just a phonetic attempt.) Has anybody heard this song? What’s it called and who does it?

Pop Will Eat Itself, “Ich bin ein Auslander,” off of Dos Deidos mi Amigos.
Sweet album…lots of good stuff.
