Solange's 8/25 playlist

Last night was so much fun! Dressed up in a lamb av (which, of course, is often the first step toward a good time ;) I played my little lambie heart out for a really great crowd. Many of you that we know and love came by, as well as many new faces that I hope will become regulars, too. The music was mainly things heavy in my personal rotation lately, like White Denim, Yuck, Swimsuit and (yes, again!) Pete and the Pirates. I also revisited a few of my favorite tracks from the last couple of years. If you never got an earful of The Wave Pictures or Firewater, take a listen and see what ya think. I'm fond of both. And here's the whole shootin' match from Thursday night:


Pete and the Pirates-Cold Black Kitty

Two Little Maids @PTHouse

Two little maids is the total sum of yum-yummy DJs on offer tonight at Propane Teahouse, 7:30-11:30pm. No songs from the Mikado will be played, there will probably not be kimonos nor yukatas nor even even kabuki makeup worn... but we do have saki and sakura.

Solange's 8/18 Set

It was another lovely night for chatting and dancing at The Propane Teahouse this last Thursday. The fabulous Colleen Lilliehook did a guest spot for us. I'll bug her for a playlist to put up here, but I know she is crazy busy these days. It was a treat to get to hear her play again.

As for me, I played a mixed set of old and new tunes - some rock and some on the poppier side. Last month, Sundazed released the collected tracks of Oscar and the Majestics from '63 - '68. If you like garage-y rock, give that one a listen. I really enjoyed it. Also recommended is the latest release from City Center. Although it can be a bit noodley for my tastes, there are still some great singles in there. And I am a fan of the atmospheric, wash of sound they do so well. And, yes, I am still raving about Pete and the Pirates... just keeps getting better every time I listen to it! Here's the list:


Swimsuit-Outside Your Window
Noisettes-Sometimes
Pete and The Pirates-Come To The Bar
Elbow-Grounds For Divorce
Crystal Stilts-Prometheus At Large
The Naked And Famous-Young Blood
Vox Jaguars-Swagger
Arctic Monkeys-I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
The Go-Go's-We Got the Beat
Fucked Up-Queen Of Hearts
White Denim-Drug
Local Natives-Who Knows Who Cares
Eleanor Friedberger-I Won't Fall Apart On You Tonight
Ray Charles-Early In The Morning
Title Tracks-Tougher Than The Rest
Parenthetical Girls-Young Eucharists
The Horrors-Still Life
Florence And The Machine-Cosmic Love
Hot Chip-Over and Over
Get Set Go-I'll Be Your Heroin
Oscar & The Majestics-Dawn
The Postal Service-Such Great Heights
Julian Casablancas-Left & Right In The Dark
Yeasayer-I Remember
Metronomy-Everything Goes My Way
Culture Reject-Inside The Cinema
The Drums-Down By the Water
Bright Eyes-Middleman
A Sunny Day In Glasgow-So Bloody, So Tight

I Heart the 70's Too!

A huge thanks to everyone who came by our 70's event. I had a fantastic time playing for all the bitchin' avatars who showed up to the Rec Room of LOVE. :) It was hard to narrow it down to just one hour of songs, but here's what made the cut:


Talking Heads-Life During Wartime
Bob Marley & The Wailers-One Love/People Get Ready
The Police-Can't Stand Losing You
Steely Dan-Pretzel Logic
Led Zeppelin-Black Dog
Paul McCartney-3 Legs

P.S. That Elvis clip is a live one from Top of the Pops, not the version I played, but I couldn't resist it! He looks like a kid. lol
