JOEY! is almost here!
Joey! is less than a week away, and I’m hopping with excitement!
Still going through records, pulling for variety, eclecticism, and dance-ability. Do I really wanna bring the Patsy Cline? Yes, I do… but should I? Going to pieces trying to decide between the album version of that Stephanie Mills track, or the 12 inch remix. Is it possible I’ve played Hercules & Love Affair too much? Which Thompson Twins song do I love the most? That Zap Mama is an unexpected bop, Fela is a god, Janelle Monet a High Priestess … I want to party with them all. My living room is a mess of records. Oh, NO! Is that Devo? I’m sworn to bring Sylvester & Prince, under threat of getting the switch! Switch – The Best Beat In Town! Nomad is Just A Groove. MAW mix of what!? Ugh. The options!
(Bit of an aside, but it seems we’ve tapped into the zeitgeist with JOEY!’s format as, at the Minneapolis Music Summit held on May 10 at the Green Room, the notion of expanding beyond one genre popped up a few times.)
Looking forward to seeing you all at Zen Arcade Saturday, May 17th!
