New Wave Outpost Forum

I got two more DJ gigs playin' those new wave faves:

Tuesdays-Harvest Moon in New Brunswick

Thursdays-Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park.

The cool thing about the Asbury Lanes is that it's all vinyl, and you've really got to be whacked to carry all those records around.

This was the set list that I played for the "audition." Try to hear the songs in your head, and picture them mixing together:

Sniff-n-the Tears-Driver's Seat
Graham Parker-Discovering Japan
Records-Starry Eyes
Scandal-Goodbye to You
Josie Cotton-Johnny, are You Queer?
Depeche Mode-New Life
Flock of Seagulls-Telecommunication
Our Daughter's Wedding-Lawnchairs
Lene Lovich-Lucky Number
Joy Division-Love Will Tear Us Apart
Cure-Inbetween Days
After the Fire-Der Kommissar
Pete Shelley-Homosapien
Missing Persons-Words
Martha and the Muffins-Echo Beach
Jam-A Town Called Malice

I'll put setlists up in this thread, starting with tomorrow night's.

Harvest Moon 3/22/05

DJ Jim, Congrats on a great first night. Again I'm sorry I couldn't be there, what with the sudden wedding, the hostage situation, not to mention the earthquakes, tidal waves and killer bees. But I'm looking forward to next week. What time was a good crit

Jim, I just looked at the e-mail you sent me. I appreciate the support, and totally understand why you could not come.

I was told to come in and set up at 9:30, to start playing by 10, because they have to get the dinner crowd out of the bar.

Asbury Lanes, Last Night 3/25/05

Overall, a halfway decent turnout, and people actually came up to me and thanked me for playing the music from 12 to 2. It really took me back to play all those records; I hadn't played an all-vinyl night since I was

DJed tonight, and when I started, some of the older crowd were still there, so I decided to keep the music a bit mellower earlier, and just gently drive them out by playing songs that they did not know.

I got some pretty good requests early on, but whe

Last night, the Harvest Moon, in New Brunswick..

I had numerous technical problems over the course of the night, including someone pulling out the power plug at one point. Sigh. The people that did come were good, active listeners, though, and some wer

OK, probably one of the 10 coolest songs you ever played, in my silly little book anyway.

Damn, Jim. I have to admit I love that song, but I'm really
