Bandland continued - the DJ's story
Hello, I thought I'd post all the records I played, although I appreciate this is excruciatingly anal. I also appreciate that that might be an unfortunate turn of phrase. We made a fake tape cover on which I was to write all the songs I was playing, but the sound dude kept getting in the way, plus my writing was more illegible than usual.
Oh, and we just worked out that the dude in So Solid Crew who does the chorus of '21 seconds' looks exactly like Will Self. I wonder which of the two has imbibed more drugs.
These are not in the order in which they were played. My comments are in the square brackets:
Sly and the Family Stone: Stand! [Which Sly Song to play? It's like Sophie's Choice]
Built to Spill: The Plan
Joe Tex: I Gotcha
Jay-Z: I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me) [Didn't expect to see people dancing to this, mouthing the words - but there they were. The sound of great parties you never knew about]
John Holt: Ali Baba
The Velvet Underground: She's My Best Friend [This inspired outbreaks of air guitar] I'm Sticking With You [Not the version in the Ad, the other one]
Ghostface Killah: Daytona 500
The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night [The Kinks are always better than you remember them being]
The Impressions: You A Winner [I might have the name wrong of this one]
The Monkees: Listen to the Band [dang]
Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way [Zombina were rocking out to this - anyone who disses the Mac ain't got no soul]
The Honeys: He's A Doll [A Brian Wilson penned tune, sung by his missus and her sisters - everyone should hear it]
The Steve Miller Band: Take the Money and Run [aawwwwwwwwwwooooooggaaah]
Weezer: In the Garage [You know, 'cause we WERE] Keep Fishin' [Kermit was with us in spirit]
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Mrs William
Air: Remember (d.whitaker version)[Strings. Utterly gorgeous. Two minutes long]
Paul Simon: Can't Run But [Like the Crash Bandicoot music]
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor: Moses [A request- one I was more than happy to take.]
Norman Blake: I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow [Finger pickin' good]
Jane's Addiction: Ocean Size [A boy came up and asked me 'Have you got any nu-metal? This was the best I could do. He was unsatisfied. Ah, youth]
Bob Dylan and the Band: Million Dollar Bash [Oooh baby, oooh wee]
David Bowie: Sound & Vision
Outkast: Bombs Over Baghdad [Prescient. Visionary. This should have been number one for a year]
the White Stripes: You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl) [For Jennifer]
Dream: He Loves You Not [For Tammy]
The Jimmy Castor Bunch: Troglodyte [For Bertha]
Destiny's Child: Say My Name [Who'd have thought the best girl band ever would be discovered by Wyclef Jean?]
Curtis Mayfield: Keep on Keepin' On [Goodness, this is lovely]
N*E*R*D: Stay Together [What if the Beatles and Timbaland and Ric Ocasek had two little babies, and one of 'em had a cap, and went out with Kelis?]
Wire: Outdoor Miner
John Cale: Paris 1919 [That middle eight...]
Brian Eno: St. Elmo's Fire
Jim O'Rourke: Prelude to 110 or 200/Women of the World [...take over, cause if you don't, the world, will come, to an end]
Smokey Robinson: Hey Jude
Sam and Dave: I Thank You [For all]
Stevie Wonder: Uptight (Everything's Alright)
The Webb Brothers: Low Grade Fever
The La's: Knock Me Down
Vince Guaraldi Trio: Linus & Lucy [Joy]
Missy Elliot and Timbaland: Watcha Gon' Do
The Dungeon Family: Crooked Booty
the Apples in Stereo: Seems So
the Magnetic Fields: I Think I Need A New Heart Washington D.C. [SO hard to just play two]
Kingsbury Manx: Piss Dairy [I prefer to think of it as 'Sweet Autumn Leaves' - the title doesn't exactly communicate the wide eyed joy and loveliness of this]
The Modern Lovers: Someone I Care About
The Partridge Family: I Can Hear Your Heartbeat [Minimalist genius - the obvious inspiration for 'Dreamless Sleep'] Point me in the direction of Albequerque
Prince: When You Were Mine [Three different people felt moved to congratulate me on playing this - congratulate Mr Rogers Nelson, he wrote it, the cuddly little genius]
Young Marble Giants: The Man Amplifier [covered to great effect by the Magnetic Fields, y'know]
