DJ RJ's ModCast

…at least that’s how it works out in my experiences. Yes, Communists and Socialists get laid more; I’m still not 100% on how that works out, but it’s totally true.

So I’ve got a new WordPress theme for the site and I’ve decided that the cast is going to be more ‘My Week in Music” — at least until I get bored with that concept. And hey, better start that now then two weeks ago, when it would have been a lot of Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright. Unfortunately, only part of the cast really fits my last week in any specific way, and that is in two ways:

1) after an entire adolesence and young adulthood spent hating Morrissey, I’m starting to like Morrissey. Thankfully, I don’t see myself turning into one of those insane pod-persons who seem dead certain that Morrissey Can Do No Wrong, musically or otherwise, but the man’s not a terrible songwriter. Of course, as a singer myself, i have to admit that I like Morrissey better as a songwriter than as a singer.

2) I have new Docs. Made in England, Oxblood red, and sized UK6 (U$ Men’s 7) — technically I’m a UK5 wide, but try finding those. Anywhere. Little Boy’s section or otherwise.

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.
