Anti-Club DJ Set 5/17/13

On Friday nights, I DJ at Mulberry St. Ristorante in downtown Fullerton, usually with my friend Phil.  We call our Friday nights "The Anti-Club," a term I stole from Henry Rollins.  We are sort of a unique venue for a Friday night in Downtown Fullerton, as we don't really play "club music."  We play eclectic stuff that we like.  I don't even know what the "Top 40 hits" are these days, and I don't really care. What I like about playing records for people is sharing music that I find interesting, creative, and just plain good.

Phil is laying it down hard.

This last Friday, while DJing, I thought I would write down the songs as I played them, in case people are interested in knowing the kind of stuff I "lay down."  Click on the song for a link to hear it:
