I was checking out Facebook on the computer and playing Tunes in the background when this song came on. My wife Liz was in the kitchen reading the paper or something like that and called out "Turn it up! I like this song"
I guess being someone who DJed for around 20 years it still gives me a buzz when someone likes a song I put on. Especially when playing a song that's maybe not so mainstream. I've played plenty of crappy songs when drunk girls on Hen's nights have slobbered their undying love for a particular piece of popular crap that they wouldn't remember in a few months. Or a classic which you just played 2 songs ago and they want it again. No, I like it when you play a Serge Gainsbourg song when the dance floor is packed and the crowd keep dancing and someone comes over and compliments you on your choice of song.
Wasted Little DJs comes from that time when there were a lot of guitar bands making a racket over in Blighty. Following the lead of the Libertines came Scotland's The View. I bought a few of their CDs and hunted down demos and such. I loved their sound. Another band that soundtracked the summer of 2006/2007.
