Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts. Three hours in an East Sydney pub every Sunday afternoon, for free. The only thing wrong with this is that there's an even better band playing at the same time in a pub in a suburb a bit too far away.

Slightly unrelated, but.. whatevs: the other weekend I saw Gordon Webster's band play (instead of one long song) the same song for every couple in a comp, during the shines, but with a slightly different twist (there were about 6 couples). It could have been way crap, but it was actually really good...

I spend about an hour tonight trying to figure out a good program to use alongside iTunes, as I am not able to drag songs from iTunes to Cog (using the latest versions of both). I wasted a lot of bandwidth downloading different programs until I realized that I already had a program that can do it p...

Ouch. I've done that before. I find it's even worse if both songs are kind of mellow tinkly piano. At least you had a bunch of clapping and shouting in there...

SwingDJs on FB?

I reckon SwingDJs is still a super useful resource. But it's suffering a bit from poor circulation. Maybe it needs a FB group?

in 2012 the Big 18 is easily found on one disc for $15 on Amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Legendary-Swing-Sessions-RECORDINGS-REMASTERED/dp/B002HMY7D0/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1 Still no audible samples, though, anywhere on the internet. Anyone want to upload a 30 second clip of one of the tracks may...

I had exactly the same problem doing that yehoodi set! I think making a proper playlist like that requires a particular set of skills. But I've also done something similar when I've 'practiced' DJing. Even if I don't actually play the set start to finish for dancers, I often refer back to it when I'...
