Another session of practicing with my mobile setup. Stuck pretty close to 130 BPM for this set, just pulling some of my particular favorite tracks out.

Difficult Listening Hour 2023.02.05
My usual unplanned, seat-of-the-pants, anything-goes style. Been a few months since I did this regularly, and I’ve got a gig coming up, so it’s time to get back into practice!
Difficult Listening Hour 2021.05.29
Unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants, let’s-see-what-happens mixing. You never know what might fall into one of these!
Difficult Listening Hour 2021.04.17: It’s About Time!
First there was a time change, then I had other things monopolizing my time, then my computer crashed and I couldn’t get it back online in time to broadcast last Saturday, so this week, I’m finally back, and it’s about time! As in, every track has “time” in the title.

Difficult Listening Hour 2020.10.03
Week thirty of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday afternoons. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.09.05
Week twenty-seven of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday afternoons. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.01.23
Unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing (hopefully) regular Twitch broadcasts on Thursday nights. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 09 (140 BPM)
Continuing with my loosely BPM-themed mixes, every song in this mix is somewhere between 135 and 145 BPM. And as always, this was mixed “live” and has no post-processing or editing work, so while it may not be perfect, it’s all me!
Gigs Music Theater 1998
So this is a little bit of silly self-indulgence…but then, wouldn’t that pretty much describe this entire website? 😉
Back when I was DJing at Gig’s Music Theater, I was also running a website for the club (and though I have no way of verifying this, I’ve always assumed that we were one of the first clubs to have a website running). As part of the website, I kept track of my requests, and kept a running “top requests” list. Since I archived the website as it was when the club shut down, I still have the last “top requests” list that I posted, back in 1998. Looking at it the other day, it struck me that it could make for an entertaining playlist….
So here we are: Two hours and forty-five minutes of the top club hits in 1998, as determined by the requests at an all-ages, non-alcoholic, alternative club in Anchorage, Alaska. In other words, this list probably wouldn’t match a similar list anywhere and anytime else.
It’s a little rough around the edges in spots, but that’s cause it’s recorded “live”, with no post-processing or editing. It’s not perfect, but I’ve rarely been perfect, and I think it ended up an honest and pretty fun throwback to what you’d have heard at Gig’s “back in the day”.
