Your friend,

Sets are a funny thing, some of the guys we work w/totally plan them out, even write it out: this goes to this at this BPM, then juggle this riddim in this order and end w/that..etc. I’ve done that before, but generally i have a core set of songs or sound that i work for somewhere in the 45min-hour that i’m spinning and i either work to it, or work from it…sometimes there will be a core towards the beginning and another at the end, working from A to B or whatnot……but it is always important to figure out what vibe you’re starting from and where you’re leaving it for the next guy…sounds like the same thing w/leading worship before and after the sermons. Gets weird: last nite the DJ i spun after thought it was his fault that i transitioned so noticeably and heavily into a MUCH slower set of songs, but it was really nothing like that: had some new stuff i wanted to work in and i hadn’t played hotmilk or murderer or guntown in 6 months or so and wanted to fit’em in…HE kept apologising for a decision that I made that, frankly, did not make for a bad transition at all……ah well, perception is a funny thing.

I don’t really much know the names of the songs you play, just how they go…usually the stuff that sticks in my head is the chorus devoid of the rest of the song (i.e. “consume me from the inside out”)…i guess that’s why some folks call it ‘the hook’; cuz it’s what hooks you in and gets you caught up. In original hiphop it was the break, the maybe 16 bar section of the song that people got down to, so koolherc and grandmaster and all the other oldskool guys would cut it back and forth and forget about the rest of the song (as an example check out ‘amen, brother’ by the winstons)…then drop straight into the break on the next record and keep the party live in that way.

whatevs…thanx for contributing to my internet footprint….i’ll have to google me in a week or so and see what comes up.

Yesterday was good. I liked All We Need too. Holy is the Lord was perfect right after the sermon. It seemed very reverent, but it always seems a bit abrupt to move out of something quiet, worshipful and reverent into, ok lets take the offering. Just some of my random thoughts….

Great set. We intertwined a drama with the McLachlan tune. It went so poorly during the morning run-through I was about to take the little pill they gave me in case I was ever captured. The little jar was out and was sitting on my amp ready for me to end it all. But alas, it came together swimmingly and created a totally great creative experience in the middle of the service.
