I just got in from a' DJin' at a local watering hole. I like this DJ thing. Play cd's and get paid for it. Not quite as good as the radio, but it is fun expressing oneself by means of other people's music. The usual eclectic mix, all up and down and around the musical globe. I played some 'Bollywood' soundtrack music which I am liking muchly lately. Of course, there is the usual lounge electro stuff which I also like muchly and lots of britpop Bowie type stuff which really get me goin'. Barry White. Pizzicato 5. Barry Adamson. Plenty o' Blaine and a bit of Tuxmoon. I personally hate how dj's have taken over the musician lexicon. they have no fucking right calling their bit on the podium a 'set' or the job of the night a 'gig' or really to say they have 'played'. I think the public there appreciated the sort of stuff I played. I gots lots o' weirdness and they don't usually get that in their sort of bar.

I AM A DJ, I AM WHAT I PLAY CAN'T TURN AROUND NO, CAN'T TURN AROUND'
Whoa, glad Bowie got over whatever was troubling him when he thought this was worth writing down and singing. I must sleep.
'OOH, I HAVE A GIRL OUT THERE. I GUESS SHE'S DANCING... what do I know?'
catchy tune. caint get it outta my haid. Just about all of the musos I know, or lots of them anyway have had to at least come to terms with DJism. Peter, me, Sammy Birnbach from Minimal Compact, Lots of guys, Boy George, fer chrissake. Nice work if you kin git it, actually. Also, this morn. I got an e-mail from 'elvis' the propietor of the Heathen World page. He knows about Tuxmo, he will link to my site. This is a first. I am pleased. More to come, oh gentle, tender, succulent reader mine. If you truly exist.
