Norwescon 47 Thursday Night Star Trek vs Star Wars Dance

by

From Norwescon 47: Are you Team Enterprise or Team Skywalker? Do you dream of the final frontier, or a galaxy far, far away? Lightsaber or phaser? The Force or the Prime Directive? Let your attire display your affiliation as we dance the night away with DJ Wüdi!

One note: Due to technical issues that plagued the start of the dance, the first 20-some minutes of this has been reconstructed at home. Everything from 27 minutes on was recorded live at Norwescon. This also means there’s one duplicated track…have fun finding it!

Costumed people, inculding Ursula from the Little Mermaid, a Starfleet science officer, and a Vulcan, dance in a circle to The Firm's "Star Trekkin'" as I stand on stage with my DJ gear in front of a video backdrop showing a Super Star Destroyer maneuvering through an asteroid field.

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 2020.06.27

by

Week eighteen 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.

Normally I’d wait until a night out at the Mercury to debut this, but I don’t know when I’ll next be able to be all goth clubby, so here we are. Thanks to Mickey for posting a photo of someone else with this shirt, and Gracy for tracking down where to buy it. :D #goth #eldergoth #depechemode #joydivision #thecure #messingwithpeoplecanbefun

Sounds From the Lost Abbey 11

by

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 eleventh (and, at this point, last) in the series!
