Derek Pearson Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 You know it's a weird thing posting up playlists - those that want to nobble might say its all about showing off or bragging about what you got. Friends might say you're being informative and helpful. Many like to see what others are playing as it gives them an insight, ideas and inspiration. However it leaves you wide open to criticism as some will say the set was too safe and not adventurous enough. People can also compare your sets with previous ones to see if or how your playlists have or have not changed. Remember DJing isnt all about beer and skittles, more often than not its putdowns that come your way rather than praise. Given the number of DJs on here it's easy to see why more playlists aren't posted up more often. I mean why leave your self wide open to attack and abuse? But hey if you're gobby enough to be a DJ I'm gobby enough to post up my recent playlists. Besides I'm old enough and ugly enough to take it hehe A mixture of over played rarities and underplayed cheapies - 23 in total Bury Town Hall playlist Fri 17 April 05 Jesse Johnson 'Left out' (Old Town); JJ Barnes 'Please let me in' (Ric Tic); Peoples Choice 'Saving all of my loving' (Palmer); Metroes 'Since I found my baby' (RCA); Tommy Neal 'Going to a happening' (Pameline); Larry Davies 'Hurt so many times' (Kent) Tobi Lark 'Sweep it out in the shed' (Topper); Just Bros 'Carleana' (Garrison); Van Dykes 'Saving my love' (Mala); Bobby Willaims 'Only got myself to blame' (Sureshot); Leon Haywood 'Baby reconsider' (Fat Fish); Jackie Wilson 'You brought about a change' (Brunswick); Celeste Hardie 'You're gone' (Reynolds); John Edwards 'How can I go on' (UK Kent 12"); Four Tops 'Can't seem to get you out' (UK TMG); Four Tracks 'Like my love for you' (Mandingo); Al Kent 'Way you been acting lately' (Ric Tic); Temptations 'Come on back to me' (unissued); Admirations 'You left me' (Peaches); Dickie Wonder 'Nobody knows' (Sound Of Soul) Danny Woods 'You had me fooled' (Correctone); Moses Dillard 'Pay the price' (Mark IV); Mighty Marvellows 'Talking 'bout you baby' (ABC). cheers, derek

Micksmix Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 what mr pearson doesn't mention is that he came on stage with a pre-prepared list of over-played tat that I wasn't to play before he came on,oh we did laugh PS how about a play list from last night at the mint lounge Mick
Craig W Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Superb playlist Nice to see such as JJ Barnes , Al Kent which many would be considered as played out oldies alongside some of the superb rarer sounds.
