Bats set listies: 021013

I'm sorry.

I'm really trying to focus on recapping my (pretty sweet) sets from this most recent Sunday...

But I am completely jacked on excitement because NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS ANNOUNCED THEY'RE DOING A SHOW IN SAN FRANCISCO IN APRIL!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

Here's my sets!

My closing set was punk fucking rock, which makes my heart sing.  I got to play Dead Kennedys!  Possibly my favorite song of theirs, at that.

:DDDDDDDDDDD

Bats set listies: 123012 - FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU---

Damn.

I have been kind of busy lately, sorry about that.

Let me 'splain:

I love DJing.  I love spinning for The Box, and the amazing folks I've met through there.  I love dancing at clubs such as our fair one, and Death Guild/Cat Club events up in the city.  I act out, I *perform* while I spin...

But my passion, my drive, is creativity.

I want to create.

I want to create my own music.

Over the past year, I've noticed a lot of my drive has been dedicated to making good sets.  And like I said, I really love DJing for you guys...but things are shifting.  There is a change in the wind.

Performing to others' music isn't authentic, for me.

It's time.

I will still be spinning, but not as prolifically.  I will still be going out to clubs and other events, but not quite as avidly.

I'd like to make some music, guys.  Too many things are pointing me in that direction.  

For now, here's the stuff I've spun dating back to New Year's Eve Eve.

Lastly, I can't thank everyone enough for making my birthday so special, this year.  Dare I say, it's been the best one I've had, yet.

This year I learned: my friends are beautiful people.  Like, honest, down-to-earth, legitimate fucking beautiful people.  I'm so lucky to have you all in my life.

Thanks for making this birthday one for the memories.

I love you.

Nope, don't care if you think it sounds sappy: fuckin' deal with it.

I love you.
