HDIF DJing Playlist, 17/11/12
Last Saturday, I had the privilege of DJing at the almighty HDIF!
And, my god, it was rammed! Probably the fullest I’ve done yet, which is encouraging. So many people were asking what tune I was playing, I love that because the whole reason I DJ is to introduce new music! Made me feel all warm and kitteny inside. I did play shitloads of old stuff but managed squeeze in quite a few 2012 newbies, Holograms and Kindness went down very well!
Here’s what I played:
YOU ! – Heart
boo radleys – Lazy Day
mylittlepony – Capital Of Norway
about the girl – Tiger Evolution
Even as We Speak – Falling Down The Stairs
Allo Darlin’ – Northern Lights
The Lucksmiths – Camera-Shy
Diamond Rings – Wait And See
Beat Happening – Hot Chocolate Boy
My Bloody Valentine – Thorn
Dinosaur Jr. – Freak Scene
Belle and Sebastian – Funny Little Frog
Crystal Stilts – Half a Moon
The Magnetic Fields – Famous
Holograms – Astray

A Poem With Harvard Referencing But Lacking Bibliography / Grace
Your name has power (Bourdieu and Passeron, 1977 [1970])
When I see it pop up on my newsfeed
When it isn’t even you
My heart collapses (Schwarzschild, 1916)
Grabs hard in my flesh
A wave of cold / heat / cold
Damns me, guilty
Everything shivers
When you text me, everything stops
Stops stopped and shot
I get the passcode wrong
Once, twice, careful now (Aunger, 2004)
Sometimes I don’t rush
Because I know a no,
No, none taken, smiley returned
The osmotic gradient is overpowering
In terms of emoticons
And emotions
No wonder nothing lives here (Levison, 2008).
Even fragments of your name mean too much
If I see them unexpectedly
If I’m not prepared to lie
And cheat and steal and murder (Foucault, 1954)
And set fire to every truth I’ve ever professed to know
Because of the way your fucking face
Turns the world upside down (Bakhtin, 1968)
If I had Ray Milland’s guts
I could solve the sight, find joy (Barthes, 1975)
But I remain a coward, disgusting,
Outcast, filthy with love, rotten (Hebdige, 1979).
On the train home,
I was free.
Just for a second
And it was glorious
I was in sunlight (Burawoy, 2003)
In Paris and San Fransico and New York
Because I’d been in London
And she had kissed me, touched me, loved me.
When she threaded her fingers through mine
And pressed her body against me (Reich, 1927)
It felt good to not be ugly
Fuck, it felt good.
And
Just for a second
I wondered if I was actually mad
At all (Foucault, 1961)?
In conclusion,
This is an area that would benefit greatly
From further research (Mishra, 2012).

Derby Zombiewalk 2012
On Saturday, I took pics of the 2012 Derby Zombiewalk which consisted of a load of rotting, shuffling, lurching, gurgling people of the undead persuasion roaming through Derby, devouring hapless passers-by. It was brilliant!
We assembled in the Market Place before stumbling down Sadler Gate, back through the Corn Market and then up past the ram statue before returning to the Market Place. Sadly, we didn’t get to terrify the occupants of the Westfield which is a real shame because, as everyone knows, zombies love shopping malls.
As we ambled, bones snapping, past Quad, we bumped into a wedding. Surely this is the best wedding photo ever:
The vibe on the day was beautiful, the non-zombies we passed were taking pics or often joining in for a bit. OR FOREVER IF THEY HAD BEEN BITTEN. RARRGHH!
This couple won two of the best costume prizes:
I mean, how fucking awesome is that makeup? Worthy of any zombie film or Walking Dead.
Unless…
IT WASN’T MAKE UP! :-O
Nat 650D Test Shots
Nat got her new 650D this week and brought it round so I could have a play with it. I’m very impressed with the functionality – auto-focus in video mode, built-in remote flash triggering, there’s a lot of power in this little beast!
Click the pic for some test shots of the proud owner! 😀
