Random Thoughts

So the Mute tribute on Friday went really well despite our doubts that we may have poor attendance due to Burning Man. In fact, we had the best turnout yet. We were also really fortunate as Mute records had sent us a big box of CDs and other stuff to give away. Anyways here is the setlist from the evening, followed by a tracklisting of the CD that the 4 DJs put together. Oh, and I posted all the photos on our myspace profile;  http://www.myspace.com/dancingghosts

I will be spinning here as well tomorrow night. So please attend!

Last night was Dancing Ghosts second event - a tribute to Beggars Banquet. We played many great tunes from the Beggars Banquet label, daughter labels Situation Two and 4AD and many more. It was a lot of fun and we had a good turnout! Thanks to The Stud for having us, Beggars Group USA for donating CDs for giveaways, Craig for working the door and Julia for baking cookies.

Below is the setlist from the evening, followed by a tracklisting of the Beggars Banquet compilation CD that the 4 DJs collaborated on;

Please check out the Beggars Banquet Tribute night on Friday, an event we are vey excited about!

So Friday night ended up being a lot of fun and we were quite pleased with the turnout. The large amount of time we put towards organizing and promoting the event paid off which was nice. In addition to the great tunes that were spun, it seamed like people were having a good time, and overall there was just a good vibe throughout the night. 4AD is a record label that a lot of people seam to feel very nostalgic about and I am glad that we were able to give people a night devoted primarily to support this label, and hear tunes that are not played all the time at clubs. Though we spun non-4AD stuff as well, the majority of what we spun was 4AD and the other stuff was similiar sounding music. This night was something that Ryan and I had talked about doing awhile ago, and I am happy that we finally were able to do it!

Anyways many thank yous are in order. Thank you to everyone who showed up to make the night worth it. Thank you to the Stud for having us. Thank you to Dellaena and the folks at the Street team for all of their support/promotions and donations that we were able to use for giveaways. Thank you to Christie for doing the door (and happy birthday)! Thank you to Miz Margo and Merrick for spinning, in addition to all the promoting they did. And a big thanks to Ryan, in addition to being the wonderful boyfriend that he is, for being a great person to co-organize this event with.  

Several  people asked if we were going to do events of this nature in the future. Yes that is definitely something that I would like to do again. As Ryan had mentioned in his lj, one possible reason for the good turnout is due to the fact that it isn't something that happens all the time and we want to be careful not to overdue it. Still though, I would like to do another similiar event at some point as it was a lot of fun!

Anyways the links to follow are; a tracklisting of the 2 CD set that the DJs collaborated on and that we gave out that night, the setlists for the event and the link to my flcker account where I just uploaded photos.

Just wanted to remind  everyone that tomorrow night is our event, 'Dreams Are Like Water - A Tribute to the Artists of 4AD.' I am very excited about all of the great songs that we will be playing tomorrow night. In addition to the great tunes that will be spun, we have accumulated a large amount of exciting items to giveaway - promo CDs of several 4AD bands, promo CDs of related record labels, stickers and posters. In addition, us 4 DJs have put together a pretty kick-ass sampler that we will be giving away many copies of. It is a 2 CD sampler and we have put songs by as many 4AD artists as we possibly could on it.  Anyways I hope people can make it out tomorrow night as it is not an event to be missed.
