...forty hours into 2010 and i think i'm finally hangover-free. i thought i could easily handle DJ responsibilities without curbing my celebratory alcohol intake. and apart from a teeny-tiny mistake or two (caused more by dodgy equipment than bleary brains, truth be told), i was right, though free beers and a bottle of champagne at the bells did their best to scupper things... (swigging champagne from the bottle while air drumming to andrew wk is either my finest moment or a cool-free low but i can't decide which).
of course, post-4am is a different matter. but let's not dwell upon the excess. happy 2010 folks! if you spent your eve in nice n sleazys we hope you enjoyed our selection of tunes - we didn't bother writing the songs down but my tired head remembers bruce springsteen, fugazi, prefab sprout, ted leo and the pharmacists, why, pavement, little richard, stevie wonder, yo la tengo, at the drive in, dire straits, billy joel, the white stripes, david bowie, pulp, the four tops, the boo radleys, st etienne, depeche mode, tv on the radio, the ronettes, dexy's midnight runners and electric light orchestra amongst others... plus all the stuff giles was playing which was awesome. huzzah!
bottle rocket's first proper night of the year will be slightly later than usual this month (23rd january rather than the usual 3rd saturday), but there'll be plenty of updates before then. oh, and the radio show will return in a couple of weeks time - the new year's eve special mentioned in the previous post was a no-go in the end (some rogue didn't return the studio keys so we ate soup instead), so i'll make sure that the first one back is a goodie.
