Prom Night 2011

A change of pace as I was asked to do the end of term Prom for the local Primary School. This mean the youngsters are about 11 years old. I have done this party for a few years now and it is always enjoyable.
A lot of the time the dancing is organised around a selection of Scottish Country Dances like The Gay Gordons, The Dasing White Sergeant or a good old time Barn Dance. These tunes are played off a cd, how Old Skool, so the computer doesn't keep a log of them.
The rest of the time it is a selection of happy tunes which are the background to some games or some 'Disco Time' as the supervising teachers call it.
What I have learned is.

1. The youngsters don't wish to be patronised and expect to hear the same Top 40 stuff as there pub going elders.
2. They lose interest quickly and really only want to hear the chorus and maybe one verse.
3. Justin Beiber isn't as popular as you  might think. So who is buying his records?
4. They like happy party sing-along songs. Same as the pub at closing time crew.

So before the Prom, I go through the likely Top 20 hits of the day and cue up start points just before the chorus or on the beat of the first verse. Then when the evening is in full swing I can rapidly kick off the tunes right at the interesting bits. This seems to work well and I would recommend this to any dj working with a young audience.

Health and Safety Tip. When you have 50 soprano youngsters bellowing out 'Don't Stop Believing' at the night's end you know your job is done but it don't half hurt your ears.

May 28th Tracklisting

Was due to play on the previous Saturday but got a call late on that day and asked to swap to the following week, which didn't cause a problem.

So May 28th it is then. The Champions League Final was on until the half nine mark so I didn't kick off until the match was finished which is why there is less tracks than usual in the list below.

Upbeat to start with. Don't often play James Last, much to my father's dismay, but the Happy Brasillia track pounds along with strong tribal drums and the blowing of whistles. It is similar to the cliched 'Carnival De Paris' but less well known. I doubt even if Mr Last remembers recording it.

Otherwise the usual bar mix. Hopefully something for everyone. Pixies for the wife who has no idea how difficult it is fitting one of their tunes into the expected happy, toe tapping tunes that are wanted, Figured that at half past midnight no-one would notice.

Track List from May 7th.

   Turned out a fine evening all round.  Busy most of the night with folk coming and going and a very mixed crowd of all ages, so it kept me on my toes.
Last half hour or so was usual sing a long happy stuff whilst the night started with friendly funk and soul foot tappers to keep the slightly older crew happy. Requests for Bruno Mars and also Party Rock Anthem is very popular with the kids.
I chose That Lady by the Isley Brothers but it was too aggressive, too early so I won't do that again. Great song but the guitar is really high in the mix and it sounded quite in your face for that time in the evening. Who would have thought that about the Brothers Isley?
I was happy to play Dj Meme's Love is You for the first time and Nina Simone, I like dropping in some slightly older Rn B stuff and this week thought I'd go with good old R Kelly.
Otherwise, I thought it fine to not only be able to play Nicolas Jaar in a small town bar but to be able to follow it up with Buddy Holly. Not often you get a dj set which includes those two artists and surely even less often will they follow each other.        

Anyway a fine night, lots of smiles and foots being tapped. Can't ask for much more really can you?

Here Come the Mods

In the Summer of 1980 I was still clinging on to my punk credentials. By that,I mean, I still wore a leather jacket with a Clash button badge on it. 'I want Complete Control' it said and was given out when the band played at Clouds in Edinburgh a few years before their eventual megastardom arrived. 

I was staying in Ayr that early May day and had wandered down to the Low Green and was rummaging about in the amusement arcades to pass the day. When I emerged into the sunlight I saw a sight and a half. Hundreds of Mods, I mean hunners of them, everywhere, as far as the eye could see. Mods in parkas and stripey blazers and sta press slacks and scooters, lots of them. And me, only guy in the whole of Ayrshire wandering about in a rocker jacket declaring my allegiance to a band of punks. 

It could have been a re-enactment of the Battle of Margate, except I feel the Rocker was gonna get a hell of a beating. 

Nought happened. The Mods scooted about, preened themselves and made sure their shoes didn't get dirty. I bought an ice cream and meandered off home. 

What stayed with me though was the power a lot of people all dressed the same has. It was a formidable sight and more than a little vaguely threatening if you didn't fit. 

The answer to the question 'why would you choose to dress and look all the same?' eluded me then as much as it does now.

I suppose some folk join gangs and tribes and some folk don't, simple as that. That summer day showed  me the attraction of being in a big group all walking to the beat of the same drum. 

Musically, I liked a lot of the music the Mods claimed for their clan. As an early punk, I had a disdain for anything done by that man Weller and his chums in The Jam. Bandwagon jumpers, we all asserted. What punk band would be directed by their father? That early dismissal of St Paul continues to burn to this day. 

But I would go on to buy 45's by Secret Affair and The Lambrettas and more. During study at University I had listened almost exclusively to Quadrophenia. I think only because it was the longest cassette I had and so didn't have to get up from my studies too often to change over the tape. The beauty of this masterplan was not ,unfortunately, reflected in my final grades. Although the film was decent, it had Sting in it. Another fellow who clambered on to the one chord heroes band wagon with his band The Police. 

My real jealousy lay in the Mods claim to some of the best music from the Sixties. And as the years drift by this music plays in my little white earbuds more than those punk icons. 

I have Uncut magazine on subscription more through laziness rather than desire. Each month there is a cover mount cd which usually promises much but seldom fails to disappoint. However, yesterday the postie brought me the latest issue which has a cd containing some great Mod tunes. Barrett Strong, Smokey Robinson, The Turners, Sam Cooke, Carla Thomas and more. Not a bad tune in sight. I haven't yet mentioned that it also holds delights by James Brown, Ray Charles and Little Willie John. 15 gems for your car, your bar b q, your very own house party soundtrack. 

If it wasn't raining a deluge, I would jump in the car and just drive around listening to it at full volume. Well that and the fact that my car still only contains a tape player. So Quadrophenia again, it will have to be. 

You have no such excuse. 

Anna Calvi - King Tut's, Glasgow.

Couple of years past and I dragged the good lady off to Glasgow to see The Hold Steady. Normally this wouldn't be worth mentioning as Anne is well used to gracefully coming along to see a band with me but this evening this band was playing at The Cathouse. This venue usually being the haunt of goths and folk who watch the Twilight series not fifty year old, curious gig goers.

We weren't sure what to expect. Once, many further years back, we had braved a night out at Klub Foot in Dundee. This was back in the eighties when a musical entertainment could be named after a physical impediment and nobody thought the better of it. After being, there surrounded by folk in a cloth that made black look almost bright and listening to a Guana Batz B-Side and a 12" version at that we decided that we may be out of our depth. Remember, dear reader, this was back when we were actually young!

So trepidation about a visit to the Cathouse.

The Hold Steady were magnificent.

The crowd, much to my surprise, however, had a high number of folk as old as us and in come cases actually older. This surprised me as the band, although just releasing their third lp, were not that well known. I had expected a bunch of young trendy things all eager to catch the next big thing not a group of balding, stomach expanding oldies.

So what was that all about? No point asking me, I clearly don't know.
The relevance to Anna Calvi? Well it was the same type of audience. Yes, there were a large number of those trend setting bohemian Glasgow giggers but there was also that older demographic.
It is heartening to know that these folk are out there and prepared to forgo the Horlicks on a Monday evening to attend a music function at the 300 capacity King Tut's.

For me it is the best response to the oft happen dj situation when someone in their forties or older ventures towards the booth and you just know, just know that this person is going to ask you for something from the '70s. This is going to happen because you are in the middle of playing a tune that was released in the last ten years. And by 'The Seventies' they don't mean the Guana Batz.

Looking for a gig review? Then skip all the above guff and start here. 

Anna Calvi at King Tuts.

Part of the Emerge NME Radar Tour. Sponsored by the new energy drink 'Emerge'. When we left some PR folk tried to give us a can, we refused and took a badge instead. Didn't want it to interfere with the Horlicks and at our tender age we no longer wish to be kept up all  night, thank you very much.

Doomed to fail. What on earth was the focus group on about? Question: How likely are you to purchase an energy drink called 'Emerge'? eh! Can you imagine any sane person going into a bar and asking for a vodka and emerge? This is going to knock Red Bull of it's perch?

Anyway, Anna Calvi.

Kinda like this review, jumping about all over the place with no coherent style or focus. When she was good on the mellower numbers like, 'No more Words' and 'Love won't be Leaving' she was excellent. The room was respectfully silent on these haunting and still songs. When she rocked it up with 'Jezebel' and a version of Presley's 'Surrender' she lost some magic and became an ordinary bar band. 'Blackout', probably the most catchy song, was played early rather than as a crowd pleaser later.

I found the lp sounded slightly unclear with a muddy sound. It reminded me of a 1970's lp production. I felt a different producer could have brought more out of the material. I had a similar thought listening to the band at King Tut's. There was a distinct retro type sound. I didn't think this improved the songs any. I wondered how deliberate this could be. The sound at this small venue is usually excellent. It is far superior to the noisy mush you can get at some of the city's larger and more expensive venues.

The styles on show includes a bit of Piaf, some surf guitar, some burlesque, a nod to Twin Peaks, a little Johnny Cash, a little Billie Holiday, P.J. of course, a twang of Rockabilly, and a wink at Nico.
Her influences are too near the surface, too often at the moment. I am sure with a bit more experience she will make her mark. Also with some more material the set won't need to include a couple of cover versions.

I enjoyed the gig. It was quite intense at times and Anna puts a lot into her performance. It is easy to over look that this is a young band playing a small show with only one lp and few live performances under their belt and so be too critical.

Lets get a sense of perspective, dear child, it wasn't like an evening at Club Foot with the Gauna Batz back catalogue for company.

Track List from 16th April

Quiet Night in the Bar. Dominated initially by the oldies who remember their best years in the mid 70s. Then  some generally inoffensive stuff whilst I waited to see who was coming in nad who was staying around. Answer being, nobody really. So the evening never really got going or any particular sense of direction.

Request for something by the Welsh but my suggestion that we rush outside and burn down a cottage was not warmly received. Request for the new single by Roxette, I ask you. As if I have followed their releases assiduously since the mid 80s. Radio Two has a lot to aanswer for.

Very quiet for the last hour so I amused myself with Tensnake through to The Bomb. Pleased with getting to play 'Cry me a River' - the Richard Earnshaw version and mixed a bit of Maya Jane out of it. To these ears, coz there was no one else there to disagree, it sounded like a good start to a Sunday morning.

Surprised myself with my liking of Earnshaw's version of 'Cry me a River' because it is one of my favourite songs but, and I repeat, but only the version sung by Julie London. Lots of people have butchered this. Michael Buble went beyond butchering, he dahmered it before flushing it's remains into the sewer. With Bin Laden vacating the No 1 most wanted list I would argue that Buble should immediately take his place. There have been others. Second Hand Songs names 138 different artists attempting the song. Julie Londin sang the definative version first in 1955. This means 137 other folk have just been wasting their time. So I confounded even my deep rooted but clearly correct prejudice by liking this version by Earnshaw enough to play out in the bar.

All of you who are more tech savy than me, and you know by my use of tech savy that I do not know much about it, thus making you all better than I will find it on You Tube. Worth a listen I say.

Requests Galore

Don't normally get a lot of requests. I mean would you approach a dangerously menapausal, bald, old git with  the suggestion that he might like to consider playing Tai Cruz. I used to attempt to get the punters to see the error of their ways by entering into a two way dialogue about what it is that constitutes good music and why Take That consist of none of it.  For some reason this never turned out well.
Now I just put my head in my hands and sob uncontrollably.

Often I give due notice. When asked 'Do you have any Lady GaGa', I reply 'Do you wish to see a grown man cry?'. Inevitably the answer is that my tears will only add to their enjoyment of Poker Face.
To prevent this situation happening too often I attempt to seize the high ground by ensuring  my default appearance is surly, aloof and close to extreme random violence. Often I pat my back pocket in a manner clearly designed to indicate that I am so glad my razor, 45 Colt or essential medication is still there.
This resulted in lots of folk enquiring if I had lost my keys. Still came the requests.

Anyway this night, even setting fire to a small pyre of my musical hopes and dreams was not enough to keep the determined requesters at a safe distance. Have these people no respect for Health and Safety?

Busy to start as some folk were heading up town to an engagement bash. Then settled into a mix of uptempo foot tappy tunes as I worked in the twenty requests that came my way. This included such diverse stuff as Belle and Sebastian, Aloe Blocc, Bob Marley, Tina Turner, The Kinks, The Saturdays, Deadmau5 and some Britpop. Thank the Lord no one asked for Lady GaGa!

Perhaps, surprisingly the young ones were asking for Marvin Gaye and Hall and Oates.

Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Buddy Rich to wind down.

Not a bad night and most of the requests, despite my protesting were pretty reasonable. I still can't excuse Kenny Loggins though.
