DJing tonight at The Burlington

Tonight (Wednesday the 29th) I'm fake-djing again at one of my favorite places in Chicago, The Burlington. Actually I've only been there four times but both the patrons and proprietors are freakishly nice, and the last time I went Flosstradamus did an Oldies Night where Diplo randomly showed up and played. Wait no, the last time I was there was to meet up with a friend in from Brooklyn, what a delightful time. We laughed, OH how we laughed. What was I talking about again? Oh yeah: Come hang out with me at the Burlington later.

The funny thing is I've been listening to almost no new music these past few weeks - mostly just  Yacht Rock-type smoothness, 90s dancehall, and "Night Moves" on repeat. No one but me wants to hear The Doobie Brothers and these Midwestern crackers don't listen to dancehall for some reason. Like, if you're out dancing and it's 1 a.m., this is usually when the DJ busts out some classic Beenie Man/Mr. Vegas type stuff but here they play...well, this song usually. Which is fine, and there probably aren't any Jamaicans in Chicago (?) but its absence is still odd to me. Oh well, it still gets heavy rotation in club My Room. 

Some songs I will NOT be playing tonight:

Well, that does it. I ain't going if there's no Seger.
