A playlist? You shouldn't have...

So basically last night turned in to request night. A few friends of mine were at this big party and talked the host into turning on my radio show for the whole party. Needless to say I was bombarded by requests and shout outs for the entire night. I would have liked to have played more of my music, but hey, I had a room full of drunks listening to my show for the first time, can you say fanbase expansion? I caved and played a slew of requests, giving shout outs to my friends at the party, and basically filling the roll of a party DJ. As you can tell by the playlist, I played a lot more mainstream stuff than I did new stuff, but apparently my efforts paid off. This group of 15+ people is going to make a weekly ritual of getting drunk as skunks listening to my radio show. I'll start easing them into some newer less-than-mainstream stuff in the coming weeks. Here's the playlist. Requests are starred, and the ones with #s are songs I played because I knew the crowd at the party would like them.

  1. Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle without honor or humanity
  2. MC DJ - Chi-town
  3. #Nas - Can't forget about you
  4. Cake - Let me go
  5. RHCP - Especially in Michigan
  6. *Muse - Hysteria
  7. #Green Day - F.O.D.
  8. #Ben Harper - Excuse me Mr.
  9. *Led Zeppelin - Black dog
  10. Ronnie James Dio - Dream on
  11. *Stevie Ray Vaugn - Little wing
  12. #Buckwheat Zydeco - Ma 'tit fille
  13. *...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - All white
  14. #Muse - Exo-politics
  15. *Nas - Hip hip is dead
  16. #DJ BC - Whatcha want lady?
  17. *Matisyahu - King without a crown
  18. *Weezer - Only in dreams
  19. *Ben Harper - Burn one down
  20. The Beatles - Norwegian wood
  21. *Pink Floyd - Hey you
  22. Jon Frusciante - The past receeds
  23. #David Bowie - Life on mars
  24. #Sigur Ros - Staralfur
  25. *Pink Floyd - The great gig in the sky
  26. Tupac Ft. Nas - Thugz mansion (Acoustic remix)

It's all good music, yes. Would I have played it all anyway...no, simply because I try not to play songs you can hear if you listen to 102.5 THE BEAR for more than an hour.

Tune in next week, I'm setting up a guest DJ hour with my brother and his girlfriend, and they have fantastic taste in music. I'll blog for real this week too, I swear.
