It's only 30 days away. That's not long. Well...31.

It's so damn hot; it's not even July yet
Which I suppose indicates just how hot it will get
And yes, SecondLife is an inside-activity
And you'll hear not complaints on that from me
Still, I'm taking a break and will be back in August
And I adore you all and you all will be missed.
I haven't started my sabbatical yet
So come by at eight to hear the set

8:00

1. Donga Film - Golimar! (3:21)

What a BS week it's been. It's been hot, people keep dying, Iran still blows, and I got a letter from the Border Patrol to let me know my most recent shipment of cigarettes was damaged and spilled all over the floor of JFK airport.

3. Bob Carter - Cigarette Blues (3:19)
4. Benny Goodman - Smoke House Rhythm (2:55)

8. Spoon - My Little Japanese Cigarette Case (3:00)
9. Studio - Smoke (Tai Chi Mix) (4:11)

And this here is when the sim crashed. We were lagging and no one could say anything and we could not move and then we all got kicked off and could not log back in. It took well over 30 minutes to get everything back up and running and even then, we had to pick back up at an alternate location. I want to thanks Kasbian Beck for being so massively groovy to let us use his club, The Mixtape, to finish out the set. Kas, I'm sorry I left the club in dead air, but you never told me where the radio was so I could set it back. I did turn on your beat-box so there would be something at least.

Meanwhile, a haiku:

amateur DJ
iPod set to shuffle play
dead air, uhm, dead air

11. Alex Smoke - Anima (3:51)

9:00

Anyhoo, Mark Standford, soon to be ex-governor of SC, and definite ex-head of the GOP governors thingie, has now given us the new euphemism "hiking the Appalachian trail". Nice going, Mark.

31. New Kingdom - Black Falcon Dub (6:07)

Now, I will be off SL for the next month because I'm finishing the book for an August deadline. As a matter of fact, the notice sent to the other DJs went as such:

There are five Fridays in July
But who shall play them? No, not I
A deadline for a book has come
An opportunity for some!
I'll be away those many days
So if someone would like to play
Those Friday nights, post-Azadine,
We'll fit you in our DJ scheme.
