I've been really excited about a lot of the DJs we've had playing lately. When I was first asked to do The Analog Lounge I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to have a night where there would be all styles of music welcome. Last week and this week are just a taste of some of that. This week we've got Lenore of Elements at the Phoenix Landing on Thursday nights. I actually haven't been in ages since the Landing tends to be just about the smokiest place in Cambridge and it's murder for me to go there. But I do remember the first time I ever saw Lenore spin. It was at the first beach party Changmian threw. That was a special night for me since I was told to bring my records just in case there was time for me to spin. 10pm rolled around and the DJ set to spin there hadn't shown up yet. Dino pointed at me and said "you're on". I spun one of my very first sets in front of a crowd of people. Lenore was up right after me and I was really stunned by what she played. I hadn't heard much drum and bass at that point, and I certainly hadn't heard stuff like she was playing. I loved it. So I'm glad to finally be able to book her for the Analog Lounge.
Also this week we've got a few other special things going on. First, my little sister is due to be in town and I'm dragging her out to show her that Boston knows how to have a good time. It's also her birthday, so everyone should come out to wish her happy birthday. Next, as many of you know, Boston has gone no-smoking. I'm pretty damn psyched about this. The upstairs at Vertigo has never been that smoky, but there have been nights where it has been a bit too much for me. This week, in celebration of no smoking I'll be doing the closing set. I'm thinking something kinda housey, we'll see what comes out.
