Fun fact! I edited a mashup of the two tracks and it was the first thing I ever played as a DJ as the Velvet.

I'm also going to take a little break from these in the new year, so this is the last for a while.

Your vodka aunt still loves you

Not everyone has family
Not everyone had pie
Or dinner with a turkey
And stuffing piled high.

Some folk have no place to go
But you can still come here
And we'll do our very best
To keep mid-winter cheer.

Listen and repeat.

Long, long ago is actually at nine

Some people can't keep their mouths shut
It's like some kind of disease
I only ask if you've seen it already
My dear, no spoilers, please!

écoute et répète 37

Listen and repeat.



OK, that one kinda hurts.

Light it up at nine

Another night for candles
Another night of lights
We've done this six times now
And will for two more nights

I've got the Manischewitz
I've got the latkes, too
And so, tonight, I'm going to spin
Some wholesome tunes for you.

écoute et répète 36

Listen and repeat.

We'll watch it fall at nine

Grandma said a dream of snow
Meant an impending death
The ice would cause your heart to slow
The stillness steal your breath
I don't think that that sort of thing
Means quite the same today
But I know that cold winds sting
So bundle up anyway

écoute et répète 35

Listen and repeat.



Haha! And again

Walk it off at nine

Today has been nothing but rain
And violence that must be rebuffed
I'd rather do this day again
But frankly, I'm way too stuffed.

écoute et répète 34

Listen and repeat.

Winter is coming

I've got hot beat from around the world
(Some, I've previously played)
Tonight, instead of Fahrenheit
We'll stay warm in Centigrade.

You were doing the Fraggle dance, weren't you? Listen and repeat.

We'll forget about it at nine

I had something clever
That I was going to say
But other things have intervened
And gotten in the way.

Girls rock in garages at nine

Halloween's over, the time has changed
I'm back on a regular schedule
So now let's return to a genre that's ranged
From the delightful to the incredible.

Listen and repeat.

Start spookin' at nine

Finally! With this month passed
Tomorrow will be Halloween
Celebrated in years past
(And maybe some months in-between)
So what's that mean? I'm glad you asked
It means I'm playing tunes umpteen.

Tonight should be kinda nice
We're going to do some Vincent Price
And after we get all weepy
Maybe we'll get some Mr. Lee.

Dip in the pool at nine (before it goes away)

I live close to McKinney
Where teens get chased out of pools
The place is all McMansions
With strip malls and good schools
And so soon the club is moving
To some location (now) unknown
So I'll play sunny music
From a much more temperate zone.

Pull up those boots at nine

I could have gone to a convention
And watched a bunch of anime
They even have a DJ there
Who plays lots of Shibuya-kei

I could have gone to a convention
Given up one of my nights to play
But I thought, instead, I'd like to share
My collection of French Yé-Yé.

Haile Selassie returns at nine

Sorry about last week. Hope they found a decent sub
Oh, but of course they did! This is SL's greatest club
I've just got this new work schedule. You see, that's the rub
And here we are, my August end, with reggae, ska and dub.

Bomb the lawn at nine

Oh, but could those shadows speak,
About the wind, so fiery hot,
A weapon, sadly, not unique.
We now know what can be wrought.
And though some would like to forget,
It's history. Remember we must.
Even with that, it's a fun set.
Flashes to ashes, bust to dust.

Pick-up

Just a little pick-up after Gyps' show.

Milk and cookies at nine

It seems no snow is falling here
To put it bluntly, it's damn hot
But that won't spoil our Christmas cheer
At least, I don't think it's for naught.

Pick-up

Did a little pickup set after Gyps on Saturday. With the new work-schedule, I either have Friday AND Saturday or nothing at all. May as well double up, right?

Cool things at nine--no, wait, at eleven

First the sound is in the ear
Then, your auditory nerve
It hits your brain, and then it's clear
As you dance to remixed Verve.

Thing starts at nine

In these dog days of summer, what's a body to do?
The holidays are over, at least for a month or two.
But I've got some driving music, maybe a tune or few
And that sounds pretty good to me. How does it sound to you?

Pick-up

Little pick-up set on Monday night after Yo-Yo's show, trying to figure out what I was going to do for Friday.

It's 1969 and the biggest listen and repeat of all time. Listen, repeat throughout the nineties.

Really, though. It defined a generation.

Seems like Fridays, it would appear
Are going to be in the clear.
Not that this is quite concrete
But still. Tonight, we play some beat.

Listen and repeat

Save your breath at nine

A new work schedule's about to begin
Which leaves me a last chance to squeeze one in
Having Friday nights free is now in doubt
So I'll use this chance to squeeze one out

Pick-up

Brannagin played a Spike Jones set, and so I did a little pickup after him. Saturday nights at the Velvet are pretty much open, so that's usually when the more experimental stuff happens, if anything happens at all.

Keeping the beat at nine.

This show almost didn't happen.
We had a storm last night
And after a big thunderclap
NOTHING WORKED

But, luckily, I was able
To call support and
Get it fixed.

Bringing the beat back at nine

It's time that I finally confessed:
The show's lost a lot of its zest
But, to treat that concern
I think I should return
And do what I really do best.

Several sampling cases were settled out of court before December of 1991, postponing the inevitable guidance a judicial decision would bring. Nonetheless, the publicity surrounding these cases made older artists hungry to cash in on the potential sampling licensing market. A song that had ceased bringing in royalties decades ago could suddenly yield a big check. In 1991 Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan of the 1960s pop group the Turtles sued the rap trio De La Soul for using a twelve-second piece of the Turtles’ song “You Showed Me” in the 1989 rap track “Transmitting Live from Mars.” Volman and Kaylan sued for $2.5 million, but reached an out-of-court settlement for $1.7 million. De La Soul paid $141,666.67 per second to the Turtles for a sliver of a long-forgotten song. --more

A spritz of soda, a twist of lime
A fancy fez or a stole of mink

With garage from around the globe
All those bands that might have been!
Lost in time, yet not grown old.

Show starts at nine

And now the room is growing dark
A vision alights on the screen!
And with the music, we embark
Into a journey, to a dream.
And it doesn't matter where,
If at the movies or TV,
The moment you sit in your chair
It's what you feel, you hear, you see.

An odd trio at nine

Bongos are just fun to play,
So it should be no surprise
They're the instrument of choice
For physicists with a Nobel prize
Organs are interesting as well
And saxophones are alright
So it's a little of all three
That I'm playing tonight.

Give it a whirl at nine.

Tonight I'm going to take a chance
And try something amusing.
I'd like to see if we can dance
To good old lounge music.

It's a pick-up, it's a plan!

Tonight, we're going to play that Asian 60s beat set I had planned for Friday, before other things happened.

Beam aboard at nine

I got the news this morning
And so it's only proper
That tonight we mourn him right
And then live long and prosper.

No need to be sheepish RIGHT NOW

About last night, I'll tell you why
We celebrated. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
And just to spread that new year's joy,
I'll wish you all Gong Hey Fat Choy!

A little nibble at nine

So, you're feeling hungry
And would like a late night snack.
As long as you're not starving,
I think I've got your back.

Jaunt through India at eight

We start an hour early, with tunes rather traditional
Then do a normal set of something less conventional
And finish off with sounds quite transitional

Starting an hour early! Asian 60s!

This month we'll travel through Asia
Through China, India, and more
But tonight we're starting in Malaysia
And we'll dance our way through Singapore.

Tear down the wall at nine

The beat goes on, around the world
It has for a month now, at least
And now, the curtain has unfurled
As we listen to those points east.

We're still playing beat music
It's just this month's pursuit.
It wasn't Brit exclusive
Tonight it's from the boot!

Pick-up

Played a little pick-up after YoYo's set.

US and Canada beat it out at nine

Last week, we played French beat
I'm sure I could play more
But I thought, instead, we
Could return to our own shores.

je suis la DJ à huit heures et demie

I was going to play English beat
But this week's events threw a wrench
In all my plans. So here's the French.

Starting the collection at nine

Tonight, we're going to start a thing
Which I hope to complete
So, in the new year we ring
And start with Spanish Beat.
