Calling, War, Stalingrad.

Bollocks Calling last night.

The right-hand deck kept skipping, and the left was feeding back. I didn't feel too chatty at the end of it all.

My setlist is here, if you can be bothered.

Liam Lynch - Whatever [I had to. It was following Barbie girl]
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Joy Division - Shadowplay
NiN - Last
CopShootCop - $10 Bill [R]*
Skelliga - Free your mind [R - from a member of Skelliga, in fact. But she did dance to it, so that's alright]*
The Danse Society - Heaven is waiting [R]*
Pulp - Babies
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Do you love me? [R]*
Skinny Puppy - Assimilate [R]*
Front 242 - Headhunter (v1.0)
Covenant - One world, one sky
Delerium - Silence (Airscape short)
Swarf - Fall
The Shysters of Mercy - No time to cry
NMA - Christian Militia [R]
Big Black - Kerosene [R]*
Rocket From The Crypt - On a rope
Toppin' Mandy - Discotheque Necronomicon
Placebo - Bruise Pristine
"ITFF", whatever that is. Any ideas?
Bauhaus - In The Flat Field
Echo & the Bunnyrabbits - The Killing Moon
Sir Nicholas of Caveshire and his performing reprobates - Bring it on


[R] denotes song request, [r] denotes band request (of which there were none), and to demonstrate the level of nepotism involved [R]* denotes a request from somebody on my Friends list.

I mistyped the STRIKE tag as SHRIKE, which sounds like a vast improvement - a tag which carries the reader away to be impaled on a nearby thorn bush. Anyone else think that this sounds like a wonderful idea?

Ah. Just me, then.


Any unpatriotic, appeasing, bleeding-heart commie pinko wishy-washy liberal traitors who happen to have unaccountably missed the letters column of yesterday's Guardian will have missed this letter from a soldier who was involved in a previous oil war. Illuminating and depressing.

~gentle hugs~ Wasn't dancing much, too many guitars and things, but it was still a great set. And good to see you. And I'm sorry if you didn't have the greatest night. And things.
~more hugs~
~and indeed hugs~

Thank you.

Some nights are better than others, obviously, and I've had far worse. It didn't necessarily (I hope) translate into a bad time for anyone of the Important people present..

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

~tilts head~ In which I wonder who these Important people would have been...

But, I certainly had a good night. Just wish yours could have been better, is all. ~s~

I didn't buy the Grauniad yesterday, so missed reading it - thanks for posting a link to that letter.

[zotz]

Punters, of course! Including, indeed, your good self.

I'll be fine. The previous one went much more smoothly, and it's likely the next one will too.

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

~smile~ I suppose we *are* important, at that. It always tends to be a bit "oh, were there people there as well as the music?" for me...

~nods~ Fair enough. But forgive me if I feel like being sympathetic. 'Cause you're lovely, and such a fantastic DJ, and I'd like things always to be good for you.
So there. Or something.

Babies sticks out like a birrova small thumb, innit? As for On A Rope BOY it's been a long time since I heard that (and indeed wanted to but that's beyond the point). Remember when it was released over 3cds and you had a box in which to "catch em all" (tm pokémon)? Those Were The Days. I am disappointed you did not play the Fall.

Then again what do I care what goths play in places OUTSIDE THE M25...

Babies sticks out like a birrova small thumb, innit?

Not in context. I play a reasonable amount of That Sort Of Thing. People don't mostly complain too much.

I am disappointed you did not play the Fall.

I can be persuaded to without much difficulty. And on occasion it happens without persuasion.

what do I care what goths play

Who're you calling a g**h?

Outside, mate . . .

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Hold on a minute, I'll just fetch Terminus Est and then we can fight like REAL MENa bunch of gurls.

Yes, preciousss, play the Fall, you know you want to, yessss... we likes it, we wants it, we dances to it preciousss yes we does... you should scare the goths by playing Spectre vs Rector. Fair enough, it would probably mean you never DJ-ed again but hey.

I need to DJ somewhere soon, anywhere, just because I really, really want to play "Never been in a riot" at people.

The Danse Society - Heaven is waiting

Well done sir! Excellent song by Steve "the original big girls blouse (copyright Mick Mercer) Rawlings and his mates.

[yehoshua.livejournal.com]

AAARRRGGHHH, earworm! This one could take days to get un-stuck.

[zotz]

Again, thank you. You're very kind.

[zotz]

Yeah, give it a go. It's a blast, assuming the gear works.

I very much regret that there isn't a Fall song called Swarf that I can play at g**hs. They'd appreciate it, really they would.

[zotz]

*cackle*

My work here is done . . .

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Do you mean "the gear" eh, eh? *sniffs suspiciously* *twitches*

Oh, you mean the equipment. I am well used to things not working. It's been about a bazillion years since I last dj-ed. My guts are shrieking to play records for people (although I don't half get nervous beforehand and have NEVER DARED TO SPIN VINYL - if you'd seen my record player, you'd know why I don't know how to work conventional decks well enough in public).

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

You deserve and invite it, sir, really you do.
~hugs~
And, well...stuff. And things.

Bollocks Calling last night.

Well I enjoyed it anyway. :-) It was nice to be back.

[zotz]

Good. I'm glad it didn't get to everyone else the way it did to me. It was good to see you again.

Re:

[ant-girl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you did look pretty pissed off when you were waiting by your car at the end. :-(

It was nice to see you too, although I didn't get to speak to you much, which was a shame.
