HOTNS 2: featuring {{{ SUNSET }}}

Last night's show was just wonderful, thanks to {{{ SUNSET }}} (Bill Baird of Sound Team). He brought a version of "There Are Two Kinds of People" that he recorded on a mini reel-to-reel. He had bought that unusually appropriate instrument from a thrift store for $7.95, and it sounded amazing. By coincidence, we had just played the Magnetic Fields' original version as part of the playlist I had made up earlier that day, so we shuffled the mics around (with pace!) once we realized what was happening. The tape on the reel was old and warped, so gave the song a warbly, undulating quality that sounded great. He also caught me very much off guard by asking me to sing backup vocals on "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing", so apologies for that. Click on the songs for mp3s of those tracks, as well as for the Irving Berlin track (after whom Stephin's chihuahua is named). You should visit my dj page at kvrx for more information about these songs.
