DJ RJ's ModCast

OK, I know I promised something both yesterday and today, but in all seriousness, yesterday and today was filled up with me doing shit for my band — my actual band, the one I sing for. In fact, until my guitarist got here earlier today for practise, I thought it was still Wednesday.

Now, it turns out that I never actually cast this old archive, I just had the set-list jotted down and I came across it by accident. Yes, I suppose that in theory I could just go get my Direct Hits setlists from this summer and just arrange the music on here, but that would involve transcribing hand-written sets, and this shit is just C&P. I will resume my “twice-weekly until it’s all my archives and old sets are posted” schedule next week, when I pick up after the lag from my guitarist getting into the swing of things at uni.

The Olympians – Hopeless Endless Ways
The New Hearts – Another Teenage Anthem
The Purple Hearts (60’s, Australian) – Of Hopes & Dreams & Tombstones
The Damned – Morning Bird
Nino Ferrer – Mirza
The Loons – Stumble & Fall
The Ordinary Boys – Boys Will Be Boys
Nine Below Zero – Eleven Plus Eleven
Makin’ Time – Pump It Up
Franz Ferdinand – Get Up and Use Me
Rip Rig & Panic – Eros, What Brings Colour Up the Stem
Les Cappuccino – Green Onions
John’s Children – Just What You Want, Just What You’ll Get
Jacques Brel – Jacky

And now a treat! Two days in a row! This isn’t going to happen very often, in the future, but at the time being, it’s going to be something I’m doing for the next few weeks, while I upload my archive casts and set-lists from this summer at Direct Hits.

2006.07.17
The Tape-beatles – Grave Implications
Pizzicato Five – 20th Century Girl
Rip Rig & Panic – Storm In the Reality Aslyum
Gavin Friday & Cillian Murphy – Sand
Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra – Some Velvet Morning
Twiggy – Beautiful Dreams
Don Fardon - I’m Alive
The Flaming Hands – I Belong to Nobody
The MC5 – I Can Only Give You Everything
The Spiders – Why Don’t You Love Me?
The Chesterfield Kings – 99th Floor
The Cigarettes – Valium World
Jonathan King – Let It All Hang Out
The Revillos – Where’s the Boy for Me?

Please note that the track by “The Spiders” is by the Amerikan group, not the Japanese one. The Spiders was also the first band of the artist who would later become known as Alice Cooper; The Spiders was a rhythm & blues band that I’d compare to The Rolling Stones or The Pretty Things.

OK, I know it’s not a new cast, but if you had any idea how long I’ve been fighting with this website, and how many weeks I had to take off for surgery, you’d be lazy, as well. This has been off-line since late 2007, so unless you’re one of the two people who told me they downloaded it, you’ve probably never heard this before. There’s a good even mix of ’60s, “Revival” and “that’s not Mod!!!”.

PS: There may be an issue with the first song, so if there is, let me know and I’ll see what I can do to fix it. I basically had to make the cast again, cos the volume wasn’t fixed and I decided to start doing these as low-fi mp3’s, to conserve space.

ETA:
OK, there was definitely an issue with the first track, but I’m backed up on button orders that I really should have done yesterday, so I can’t do anything about it right now. Just skip ahead by about 3:33, and I’ll get to this tomorrow, after I make some deliveries to my stores.
