So I've been kinda swamped this last week, sorry I didn't post. I had a lot of homework, plus I had been recruited to co-DJ our school dance, which took up a lot of time, which was also last night... I feel kinda wierd about it.
DJing is hard!!! People won't let you do your own thing. We got a million requests for stuff we didn't have... we need to burn more CD's, haha.
Also I'm not much of a big dance person (well this dance was tiny actually. My school is small. The room was small and we still didn't fill it up. Maybe under 100). Dancing alone in my room is way different than dancing with and in front of people. I'd be more comfortable if there was a bigger crowd, but I just stayed behind the table the whole time looking awkward and tapping my foot. Not really the first impression I wanted to make at my new school. I don't think I'll do that sort of thing again.
But it was kind funny to watch people grind to Busdriver and Dizzee Rascal (they went over surprisingly well). Things that didn't go over so well: Go! Team, CSS... stuff like that. People kept wanting hip-hop, and we kinda ran out. I thought people would dig the more dancey club music, but everyone just wanted to grind, so we did our best.
Busdriver - Kill Your Employer (Recreational Paranoia is the Sport of Now)
Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp
Ratatat - Party and Bullshit (Notorious B.I.G.)
Simian Mobile Disco - Love
E-40 - Tell Me When to Go (We ended up playing this twice, due to popular request)
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya
Spank Rock - Bump (I Think this was the best all night. Everyone seemed to like it)
