Some Kind of Federal Program
No, this is not a belated rant about Bush's infamous Social Security comment during the 2000 campaign, but rather an update on the weekly DJ nights that I've been scheduling at The Federal. Only 3 more Saturdays before Xmas, damn! These Saturday night things have been happening almost every week since early July...and I'm really not sure if we're going to be able to keep up that pace (or any pace) in 2005. So if you get a chance, please come out this month for some festive beats and good times....while there's still a chance to do so! While I'm at it, big thanks to anyone and everyone who came out to this particular weekly during the last several months. The other DJs and I definitely appreciate it. Now on to the upcoming schedule...
This Saturday December 4th, my boy Todd will be mixing it up. This may be his last time DJing at The Federal, as the law books are calling his name and there ain't no half-steppin' when it comes to the bar exam. Come out and hear selections from Todd's ridiculously deep crates. Which reminds me, these crates have started to ooze out onto the Internet via a couple of hot new mp3 blogs that Todd is involved in: his own Right and Exact, and the hip-hop-producer-focused Can I Bring My Gat?, which currently features some great tracks from the likes of Prince Paul, Large Professor, and Clark Kent. If last month's Spin article is any indication (or even a catalyst), MP3 blogs are continuing to blow up, like slow motion rarities-focused radio shows with detailed hypertext-enhanced talksets. It'll be interesting to see how and when some of my favorite MP3 blogs start to integrate podcasting and/or some sort of next-generation version of automated time-shifting technology. 'Cause I'm already a bit tired of desktop file (un)organization and constantly right-clicking to "Save-Target-As"!
But back to The Federal business....I'm going to be back there on Saturday, December 11th. I'll be ramping up for the upcoming holiday party season, so no one should be surprised if the tunes that night are a little more geared towards getting people onto the dancefloor. It'll be a Festivus for the rest of us!
On Saturday the 18th, The Federal will be graced by special guest Yugen, a frequent DJ at numerous clubs and bars around town: Ringside, Fuse, Nightlight, Tallulah's, etc. Yugen will not only be wrapping up an unprecedented three-week-sequence of SILS-enrolled DJs, but he'll also be closing off our 2004 Federal schedule in style. That's right, no Saturday night DJs on Xmas or New Year's. Happy Chrismukkah to all and to all a good Saturday night.

Heh, I just met Yugen this past Thanksgiving. Small, small world.

i didn't realize today was "december 4th." i'll have to drop a little jigga set in his honor. and some bdk in honor of the bar exam and its unwillingness to accept half-steppin. but, it's too early for "x-mas in hollis," no holiday rap tonight.
