A little darker and gothier, until it gets a little bouncier towards the end, with totally otherwise unconnected nods to St. Paddy’s Day at the open and close.

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!
Difficult Listening Hour 2021.03.06
Unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants, let’s-see-what-happens mixing. You never know what might fall into one of these!
Difficult Listening Hour 2021.01.02: Happy New Year!
The first Difficult Listening Hour of the new year, and it’s all “new” music! That is, not “new” as in “newly released” or even “new to my collection” but as in “has ‘new’ in the title somewhere” (except for two, one of which is an acronym, and the other features the word ‘new’ rather prominently in the lyrics). Basically, I just did a search for ‘new’ in my music collection and then winged it from there.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.03.05: COVID-19 Edition
Week six, and this is one of the few times I’ve put together a set list ahead of time instead of going by the seat of my pants. Consider this the COVID-19 edition of DLH–the tracklist titles should make both inspiration and selection clear. :) This does mean that this set is less about trying for a smooth mix all the way through and more about just having fun with the idea.
As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts on Thursday nights. These are the results.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.02.06
Week three 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 on Thursday nights. These are the results. Anything goes.
Sounds From the Lost Abbey 08
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 eighth of quite a few to come!
Difficult Listening Hour 06 (110BPM)
After taking last weekend off (but hey, I gave you almost four hours in two mixes last time I updated), here’s another new practice mix. Every song in this mix is somewhere between 105 and 115 BPM. And as always, this was mixed “live” and has no post-processing or editing work, so while it may not be perfect, it’s all me!
