DJing until my deadbeat friend comes over... taking hints.

post by: Hellbient at: 20:58 | 35 comments

The question every DJ has to ask at some point - Is there anybody out there?

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 21:15

Anthony Rother, very nice. You caught me in the right mood. Can't wait to see what else spills out of your brain. I might take a set tonight too, if nobody else is signed up ... *checks wiki*

hey, welcome mykescipark. Feel free to steer me, but go shy of requests. Especially since you're the sole listener.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 21:22

I'm not the requestin' type. I'd rather see where the evening takes you.

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 21:25

indeeed.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 21:34

Just got in, now listening.

posted by Zack_Replica 30 May | 21:42

From Venom to Earth Wind & Fire. That's quite a feat!

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 21:44

Good lord. I put it on, thinking, gee, I'm going to hate this and then I like it and then I go out to smoke a cigarette and come back, all innocent and shit, into one of the worst earworms known to humankind. Earth Wind & Fire? You burn, hellbient. You're SO on the hell train for this. It's your fault that I'm punching air right now.

hey zack. Yeah sorry that Venom thing goes on forever but it's so funny.

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 22:31

cool mykescipark. I'll try to trim it off around then. What are you spinning? We can segue appropriately.
No, I'm not rolling. I certainly wouldn't be doing this if I was. Heh.

I'm starting off with some Bulgarian stuff and then going off through some avant underground stuff and then into indie land and around the world.

Basically, you could play anything...

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 22:53

Tackhead! Man this song is killer. Had it on cassette ages ago, and haven't heard it since.

posted by Zack_Replica 30 May | 22:58

Damn it, step away for a minute and I miss Tackhead?

You can keep rolling for a bit if you like, Hellbi. You've got good stuff going on.

Zach seems to be digging you, as am I, so I'll bump my set to 9:30 - 11:30 PST.

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 23:04

you gots it.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:08

It was the bitty version of Ska Trek. Blink and you miss it.
Working on a bhangra show for tomorrow AM-ish if anyone's up and interested, provided photoshop obeys me and I get this poster finished. Was thinking about doing a show tonight, but the bus ride took forever and the call of vodka is too strong. 'sides, you two have it all in hand, it seems.

posted by Zack_Replica 30 May | 23:09

Haha, Justice. I was going to spin some heavy French disco myself, but my set took a distinctly different turn once I got into it.

Looking forward to some bhangra!

OMG, Queensryche. Haha! Wow, you are Metal personified.

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 23:33

heh, embarrassing, I need a new version of that. Ahem.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:34

No, embarrassing would've been "Turbo Lover" by Judas Priest. This, I can handle.

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 23:35

Oh no, embarrassing because it's an obvious dl. That clicking thing really works in the track though.
Okay, I'm out...

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:37

Haha. Well, at 64k, one can't particularly tell :-)

posted by mykescipark 30 May | 23:38

Queensryche. HA! Friend of mine in high school thought it'd be the best idea to stop listening to U2 and Echo & the Bunnymen and good alt bands and start listening to metal. We always laughed so hard when he put this on. I think he just had the hots for headbanger chicks.

on preview - getting nasty rebuffering on this, Hell...

posted by Zack_Replica 30 May | 23:40

heh, yeah. Okay i'm in. Wow, beautiful voice.

Not sure what that was about, zack...

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:42

I always liked that Queensryche song. It holds up okay as far as hair metal vocal-stuff goes.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:43

So is it just me? I'm getting stream troubles on my end and nothing's been changed.

was ok for a second there, then started again.

yeah. we kinda hated it, and kinda liked it, so it was all good. Made the alt.music girls look at us funny though.

posted by Zack_Replica 30 May | 23:46

Wow. This is great. Jessie Evans? Explain.

posted by Hellbient 30 May | 23:47

Oh, bizarre. I refreshed the stream and everything's good. It still looked like you were 'casting, Hell. Ok. Back to the groove.
