My Wotever Playlist

Last night, I DJed for the first time ever, at a queer bar in Vauxhall. Bar Wotever is one of my favourite things in London. It's a friendly, chilled out environment that is a real mix of people. There are LGB people and trans people and the straight and cisgender friends and lovers . It's every Tuesday. the early DJ starts at 6 (that was me) and plays until 9. then there are usually a couple of stage acts and then another DJ playing dance music.

So my first ever DJ set was 3 hours long! Fortunately, very few people come for 6, so my early n00b errors were largely unwitnessed. It was fun and most of the music I played went down well, except for the one noise piece. Heh. It's a great piece of music, but the organiser was not into it. This, incidentally, it a reason I write 1-minute pieces. Like, people will usually give you a minute. So if you can write a nice noise piece that's one minute long, they will give it a shot and may even find they like it. Then it's like a gateway drug for longer noise pieces. But I digress.

I have a list of everything that I played, but alas, I don't know what order I played it in! So here's a list of the songs I played, but totally out of order. If the song title is a link, it leads to where you can download it.

Song	Artist	Album	Notes
Shy Girl	The Sand Man	Kaos Theory : Live On The Air	trans lyrics, but uses the word "hermaphrodite" for shock value. Not sure what to think.

Fuck The Pain Away	Peaches	The Teaches Of Peaches	This might be the theme song to Wotever.

There's some possibility that I might get asked to DJ again. If you're in a band with LGBT people or sing about LGBT themes and you want me to play you, you should send me mp3s! (This is just a ploy for me to get free music. ) If you are in such a band, you may wish to contact Wotever, especially if you'd like to play a gig.

I did not play every track that I came with, alas, but next time!
