oh wait, expose is on there...

(Also, e-mail me, I have some tiny gossip)

BARMS, I'll mail you on Gmail when I get home from work. What's the gossip? You finally up for that fistfight in Piccadilly Gardens you big chicken? Or you want my sister's hand in marriage?

You'll get paid and if you don't get asked back you probably wouldn't want to repeat the gig anyway, yes?

I think I'll just mix the two sets, Donna Summer, PSB, early Madonna, Prince. I don't think I can bring myself to play Cliff though.

He also said:
"I think what I want is, well I don't really know what the word means but does 'eclectic' mean anything to you?"

and

"You can play some of that modern stuff but no BOOM BOOM BOOM ok?"

He seemed like a nice guy so I don't want to let him down but I'm guessing the crowd will be happier to hear 'You make me feel mighty real' than 'Radio Ga Ga'. Who knows. I'll probably just cop out and have a requests sheet and make like a jukebox rather than an *artiste*.

That trick doesn't work on dudes who've seen The Crying Game.

I played 'Don't stop the music' 5 times at the end of the night because the owner was pissing about and I wanted to go onto another club. I was curious to see if anyone would notice. No one did.

The whole night was quite brilliant and charming and hilarious and I am getting a crash course in hi-nrg from muscly Mick and the 6ft blonde transsexual working the door kept calling me adorable and kissing my cheeks. It woz ace.

The Lana Pellay is the very Dead-Or-Alive-ish "Pistol In My Pocket". I'll try and YSI it early next week.

The Hi-NRG "9 To 5" has been big at our local Nottingham flea pit for the last couple of years... don't know who it's by, though...
