Setlist for PLAY 03

As always, here’s the complete setlist for my latest PLAY edition (Vol. 3), from this past Friday. I decided to not go Christmas-y (except for one exception), and ended up doing an extended rock set (mostly in part 2) — for Christmas cheer, do download the latest episode of Radio OK Fred (15). This is my last PLAY of the year, and I’d like to thank everyone who has been taking the time to listen to my selections (more through download than by attending, but still). I’ve been having a lot of fun doing these, and I’ll be back for more in January.

So below, the setlist in two parts for PLAY 03, which you can also download. Also, you can subscribe to a feed of all my PLAY sets.

PLAY 02

I’m not promising I’ll keep doing these on a weekly basis, but I’m having so much fun doing them that I want to keep going, so yes, next week I’m doing PLAY 02 at Cafe Pause. It will happen on Saturday (December 12) instead of Friday, because I’m going to be attending the “Taichizm!” live show that night at Shibuya O-NEST. So same deal as usual, me selecting tracks from 21:00 to 23:00, except on a Saturday.

PLAY 00

I’ve been threatening to DJ — well, “music select” — somewhere for a while now, and I’ve decided to finally make it happen this week. On Friday (November 27) I’m introducing something I’m calling PLAY, in which I’ll be setting up my laptop in a corner somewhere at Cafe Pause, and make people listen to a selection of tracks by me, from 21:00 until 23:00 (when the cafe closes). This is not an event proper, it’s just a casual invitation to come hang out and listen to (what I think are) some good tracks. I don’t know if this will become a regular thing, it might, and I may invite others to join me in the “selection” duties in the future.

If you’re wondering how I’m doing this, today I found what looks like the perfect software for my needs, something called Djay. All I wanted was something that would let me transition tracks, and also allow for pre-cueing, which I’ll be able to do courtesy of my ZOOM H2, using it as a USB audio interface. If this all works as well as I’m hoping it will, I can also see us recording a live episode of Radio OK Fred this way.
