I constantly discuss the fact that everyone in LA and their Ipod is a DJ these days. While I am known for my impeccable music taste, I have held strong. I am the only person I know in LA, who is not a DJ.
I am in Portland Oregon for the week. I know a bunch of people up here from my formative days, being growing up in Boston. None of these people have even sort of good music taste.
My friend Brooke has a Barbeque Sunday. We get beer and make food. We are good to go until I realize there is no music. So I decide to DJ. Not just DJ, I decide to DJ entirely off of Myspace. It worked for the first hour or so. As more and more people showed up that I had not seen since the 1990s, it got a little more difficult. Conversations about the past decade of our lives outlasted L’Trimm. I eventually had to bail on the whole endeavor and use a playlist. Plus the 20 Windows open on my laptop sort of started to freeze. I gave the whole thing a really good try.
So you want to be a Myspace DJ?
Here is my mixtape (aka the windows I had open.)
1.Spankrock “Bumpâ€
2.Salt n Pepa “None of your Businessâ€
3.Outhere Brothers “Boom Boom Boomâ€
4. Lil Mama “Whatever that Avril Remix is calledâ€
5.Plastic Little “Drizholleringâ€
6.Sweatheart “Fingerbangingâ€
7.Ghost town DJs “My Boo
8. Lil Mama “Whatever that Umberella Remix is calledâ€
9.Sweatheart “Dream Beaverâ€
10. Diplo “So so Krispyâ€
11. Justice “DANCE remix
12. Plastic Little “Get Closeâ€
13. Salt N Pepa “Push Itâ€
14. Justice “We are your friendsâ€
15. Lil Bow Wow “Basketballâ€
16.L’Trimm “Cars that go Boomâ€
(That’s all I can remember. My computer froze at some point.)
Some girl asked if I could play the “regular song about the umbrellas.â€
When Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. remix came on, one Barbeque attendee did impressively ask, “Whose Justice remix is this?â€
I shrugged, “Um, Justices.â€
