Hot-N-Cool Propane

072811 Propane Teahouse Thurs. July 28, a photo by Enigma Bombay on Flickr.

For my July 28 Propane Teahouse set, I was in an eclectic mood; usually I try for a handful of new-new tunes but just wasn't inspired by what's coming out right now, or I've already played what I like, or whatever... so I reached back a few years for a bunch of the songs. This set had a sort of 'lost love' and 'anti-religious' theme going on, it was semi-intentional.

This was the first time I've played Alien Sex Fiend and Ursula 1000 in a Second Life set but sampled electronica felt tasty. New Cat's Eyes album continues to deliver great songs. Played a few new-to-me bands like Holy Ghost!, !!! and Raphael Saadiq, really enjoyed finding Irish rockabilly artist Imelda May on Baeble. Was able to slip in a tune by one of my fave local bands, The Fucking Eagles from Tacoma, WA (who took their name from a Big Lebowski movie quote) and finished things off with an Eric Burdon classic that always makes me misty-eyed.

Well, hello there (B)Indies! This is my first blog post, so I wanted to pop up and say howdy.

My lappy and I both struggled through to bring you a set of cool cover songs. What is a little heat stroke amongst friends when there is dancing to be done? That's why we have a fainting couch next to the dance floor.

So yeah, here's a mostly music blog from the Ladies of Phasma.

Solange, Windsor and I spend a lot of time thinking about music. We spend a lot of time listening to music. And we spend a lot of time putting together our music setlists for our DJ sets we play once or twice a week at the Propane Teahouse virtual club in Phasma sim or other locations in Second Life. Now we're going to blog about it, too, as well as indulge in some side blog forays into other stuff we like in Second Life. We hope you enjoy this as much as we will enjoy nagging each other to make blog posts every week. It's all about the music... mostly.
