Big news in SL - on Sunday night Viviabian opened their new club The Silo! Naturally it's in a sim called Bro City and the theme is Russian space expoloration. Seriously, there's a bomb shelter complete with spam. You must go visit.
The place was packed and they were nice enough to ask me to be the first DJ. So, in honor of their new club I played all new stuff from new artists...mostly. I will be their regular Sunday afternoon DJ doing Astral Projection with Astrud (4-6 SLT) so make sure and get your ass there. My beloved OMGWTFBBQ will attempt to follow me. Sucka.

Also? Kasabian made me an Astrudnaut tag. Rules.
If you didn't get the memo, I'm the new Friday night DJ at The Winchester. Normally I'll be on from 6-8SLT, but last night I was on from 7-11. Ha! It was really just supposed to be 7-9 but I was having so much fun that I couldn't stop.
Last night's theme was obsessions - I played a ton of songs I am or have been obsessed with at some point in life and I took lots of requests of songs the crowd The Win are obsessed with - and made them share their story. I learned that Nica Oh went to a Pixies show in a U-Mass sweatshirt just for them; that playing both the Damned AND the Jayhawks won't make Lanark go to sleep even if he's bitching about how he needs to go to sleep; that Cate is now hooked on the Velvet Teen cos Jasper plays them so much; that Kasabian wants me to play something I hate every time I don't have one of his requests; Sjo is semi-emo but does not *like* Iron Maiden; and I already knew but heard again how much PitPat is obsessed with Control, the Joy Division movie.
I also learned that my mic wasn't working with Nicecast yet. Oopsie.

And also? What I wore to DJ is so my new fave SL outfit. I'm in love with my furry boots.
After months of backseat DJing (so much backseating that PitPat Wildcat made me an official "Backseat DJ" tag), I finally bothered applying some elbow grease to getting Nicecast to work and made my DJ debut.
The nice folks at The Winchester (and Sjofin Oh in particular) were kind enough to break my cherry and several of you came by for my Indie Power Pop night. Thanks for that! By the request of a few, I'm biting Jasper's style and making a set list blog.
