Party All the Time We Are Wolves DJ Set Podcast

Belated We Are Wolves post Part 1

(DJ pic taken back at 1/2ALIVE in B.C. Why am I clinging to those headphones for dear life?)

So.. yeah... Took me long enough to blog about We Are Wolves in PDX-land, but I was waiting on the disposable photos I took of the night to be developed, so I have an excuse... kind of... hahahaha. This time last month the magical We Are Wolves visited Holocene and Not on the Guest List helped throw the party. The second part of this post (with some of those trusty disposable photos) will follow this one. I split the evening's DJ bill with the Gossip's Brace Paine and got my Party All the Time on solo sans Meg and Louis. This is what I played that fine last night of January:

I was supposed to do a half hour set before the first band and then 15 minutes later on in the evening, but after the hands of the clock ticked their way through my first half hour, opening band Swim Swam Swum still hadn't taken to the stage so I played on which made me a slight bit unarmed, given it was my second DJ gig and my first solo. Nothing a quick shot of tequila and a previous podcast couldn't ease. I had my sets planned in advance - down to the minute and basically got a bit dependent on my Lost Will Podcast for the last few songs of the first one to help me fill the extra time instead of gettin' random.

I was SO psyched to play the Spank Rock remix of Sold Out's "I Don't Want to have Sex with You," but the atmosphere was sooooo not right for a song that spends about three of its five minutes endlessly repeating "I don't want to have sex with you." Next time! I also forgot I wanted to open with Marcos dos Santos' "Not on the Guest List" since it was NotGL's first official night in Portland, but alas... And Trash Fashion's "Mommy and Daddy" (MP3) never snuck its way in...
Somehow (I have no idea how) I refrained from playing Soulja Boy. Every time I go out I make sure to request "Crank Dat Soulja Boy (Supaman)" much to every DJ's chagrin. Just doing my part :) Apparently DJs don't like it when people do that [5th question, 2nd paragraph] <<< hahahaha - I mean 3 girls - that was totally Party All the Time - Louis is pretty girly.

Apparently Fake Shark - Real Zombie! has a Wikipedia page that somehow doesn't mention Louis' side project of Party All the Time. Baffling! haha Maybe it needs to be altered -- the Stephen Colbert way. Elephants anyone? I kid, I kid. Or do I?
