Last night's setlist - I didn't really do the set I had in mind, I focused on keeping people on the dancefloor, which I did pretty well. I had a solid dancefloor up til the end.

I went on about 3 am, and ended around 6:30. There was another DJ who went on just before me, and played just shy on one hour. There were three bands on the bill - Log Jam, The Mosquitos, and The Brite Lites. I wasn't too crazy by the latter two, but I really loved Log Jam. They were like some kind of cross between ESG, and Pavement at their sloppiest. They were very endearing - I was talking to two of the guys from the band afterwards, and they were telling me that this was their second performance, that they are just starting out - I hope they keep at it, cos they were catchy, groovey, funny, and very charismatic. The Mosquitos played fast, loud indie pop - they might have been more enjoyable if they weren't so fast or loud, I didn't really pick up on any of their melodies or lyrics, and I've got a feeling that they maybe weren't so bad. The Brite Lites were more or less a noise punk band with my friend Chuck on bass. I couldn't really get into them, and I don't think all that many other people were either. I just wasn't feeling it.
