My DJ set

[acb]

I DJed between sets at the Light Music Club gig tonight, at the Builders Arms.

(before the first band; mostly old favourites. I was saving the newer stuff for when people showed up.)

• Electrelane - Love Builds Up
• Yo La Tengo - You Can Have It All
• Slowdive - In Mind (Reload remix)
• Parsley Sound - Platonic Rate
• Black Box Recorder - England Made Me
• Minimum Chips - Furniture
• Ninetynine - San Pedro de Atacama
• Prop vs. Stereolab - Statice
• The Random Numbers - Mornington Crescent

(between the first band and Light Music Club:)

• Blueboy - Marble Arch
• Belle & Sebastian - I Fought In A War
• The Radio Dept. - Bus
• Slowdive - Celia's Dream

(after Light Music Club's set; before Duckdive; I seem to have gone into a bit of an English indie-pop vein, for the most part, anyway:)

• The Field Mice - Willow
• Black Box Recorder - Swinging
• The Radio Dept. - Slottet #2
• The Clientele - Reflections After Jane
• Harvey Williams - Eurostar
• Blueboy - Boys Don't Matter
• Spearmint - A Different Lifetime (a nice long one, during which I took the opportunity to talk to people)
• Morrissey - The First Of The Gang To Die

(from after the Duckdive set to until everybody left:)

• Clag - Goldfish
• Minimum Chips - Bouncing Boy With A Bubble
• Keckle - Elephant Song
• Lush - Lovelife
• The Hummingbirds - Blush
• The Field Mice - White
• The Guild League - Panic (their Smiths cover)
• Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap
• The Smiths - I Want The One I Can't Have
• Pulp - Babies
• The Bodines (that's the British C86 band, not the Australian one) - Heard It All
• New Order - Leave Me Alone

The first band (whose name escapes me; they may have been called Caravan Park or something similar) were interesting in places, although perhaps a bit on the fatbeard side of things. Light Music Club were excellent as usual. And Duckdive made pleasant enough jangly guitar pop with trumpets and accordions and instrument swapping.

Aside: the Builders Arms has the most stereotypically gay DJ booth I've ever been in; the walls are festooned with plastic penises and a 7" copy of Kylie Minogue's I Should Be So Lucky. Fabulous!
