Perfect Teeth 22.1.8

It's been quite a while since I posted to this blag. In my defense, I'll say that I had to write a masters thesis (it's done) and had other things on my plate. It's not that I didn't have the time to spend on it. I did. But that if I spent the time on it, I would have felt guilty for not spending the time on my thesis.

However, that is done. My New Year's resolution (aside from not burning my mouth) is to update this blog more often. Not only with the long entries I've put up so far, but also with short entries.

Here's the first short one:

I DJed for the first time in a while this last Tuesday at a bar in Munich. When selecting the records I was gonna bring with me, I used the guiding principle No Pop. I did bring some pop though. Mostly new stuff (and some old post-punk). Animal Collective, Panda Bear, No Age, and Black Dice, certainly; each of which I played twice—something I try never to do when playing records for other people. Otherwise, all I brought was jazz, some minimalism, some kraut, and a few ethnomusicology field recording records.

I taped the evening and transfered the cassettes to mp3s. Four sides. Approximately 3 1/2 hours of music.

you played strawberry jam THREE times.

Dan Gr said...

Technically you can't play thrice without playing twice.

Did you copy my new year's resolution or are we more in sync than I thought?

Dan Gr said...

A little from column A, a little from column B: I copied, but it was a much needed resolution.
