The Square Root of Two

Oh _god_, emusic. *headdesk*

I keep meaning to respond to this, but I've been busy bossing about DJs for MLX :D This time with MLX I didn't use a DJ brief, but I think I'm going to start doing it again in future. It's just a great way of collating all the important information for DJs - from my contact details to what type of c...

emusic is so pants. it's just so irritating. but i can't quite bring myself to close my account because i'll never get it back.

The Basie Verve set is about to sell out. If you've been waiting and want to get it, now would be a good time. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/lastchance.asp I really like this set. There's a bit of squawky 50s annoyingness (well, it annoys me), but there's so much gold, it's hard to not find somethin...

I had the opportunity to check out Mosaic 235: Duke Ellington 1936-1940 Small Group Sessions this weekend. I pulled out my 40-disc box set by History (The Duke: Edward Kennedy Ellington and His Orchestra) & did a side-by-side comparison. What you get w/ Mosaic over History is: 1) Improved sound...

I have such a crush on you right now, Trev.

Over in the DJ Summit coordination question I posted: This isn't really 100% related, but I'm really curious about how other event organisers manage DJs for their events. ie the administrative side of an event with DJs. I'd be most interested in events in the US, where DJs are paid/flown into town, ...

Right now I'm obsessed with the song 'Everybody does it now'. I first heard it on the latest Abigail Washburn ep. http://grooveshark.com/s/Everybody+Does+It+Now/2GpVZo?src=5 Then I realised Martha Copeland's version is the best-known. Then I found a Helen Humes version. This really is my favourite s...

Bessie Smith! 1927 There's a fun Stuff Smith version from 1936. I like the 1937 one from this album (Bill Coleman, Stéphane Grappelli, Joseph Reinhardt, Wilson Myers, Ted Fields). I also like the Katherine Whalen version . I like the vocals in the Cecile McLorin Slavant version. They're buttery. Oh,...

This isn't really 100% related, but I'm really curious about how other event organisers manage DJs for their events. ie the administrative side of an event with DJs. I'd be most interested in events in the US, where DJs are paid/flown into town, etc. -> sort of a development from Playtpus/Kristina's...

The talking bit at the end is the best bit.

I STILL haven't caught this show. It's still on this month, yes?

It was FUN. I was thinking, I'd be interested in hearing a blues DJ do a Yehoodi set. There was a guy DJ they interviewed on the Confessing The Blues podcast (whose name I don't know, sorry) who I'd be curious to hear. If you can get him, Keith Hsuan from Melbourne is a GREAT lindy DJ. I only get to...
