On Saturday night I pretended I was a DJ for an hour.
Yeah, I know. Sad, right? So be it. I had a hell of a lot of fun.
I pretended I was a DJ manning the turntables for K-BILLY's Super Sounds of the Eighties Weekend. I would name the song (it's hard to do the proper DJ banter when you're limited to 140 characters) & post a link in Twitter. If you clicked on it, it took you to a YouTube video. Once the song ended, you could refresh Twitter and find the next song waiting for you.
Hell, I even took two requests during the hour!
I miss being a DJ.
Here's the playlist for those of you who missed it:
- Brand New Lover by Dead Or Alive
- Friend Or Foe by Adam & The Ants
- Overkill by Men At Work
- Rio by Duran Duran
- Money Changes Everything by Cyndi Lauper
- Postcards From Paradise by Flesh For Lulu
- Wouldn't It Be Good? by Nic Kershaw
- Mr. Roboto by Styx
- Never Say Never by Romeo Void
- Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
- (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League
- The One You Love by Glenn Frey
- Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby
If you're interested in future shows, you can follow me on Twitter.
Or if you think I'm insane, you might want to un-follow me, delete my feed from your reader, and pretend you've never met me. In fact, you should all probably do that.
I need a life.
Song of the day: Overkill by Men At Work
