Last Night’s Playlist (Tourfilter DJ Night @ River Gods)

Posted on March 19, 2010 at 3:01 pm | No Comments

So yesterday was the third Thursday of the month, and that meant a spot for me up in the River Gods DJ booth as part of Tourfilter DJ Night with TF main-man Chris Marstall (by the way, go check out Tourfilter’s swanky new redesign).

While the guidelines Chris sets down for his hosted evenings are pretty straightforward (spin songs by bands coming to the Boston area soon), I was compelled to pay some small tribute to Alex Chilton last night – so before my set started at 9pm, I played Big Star‘s “September Gurls“, a live version of “The Ballad Of El Goodo“, along with Elliott Smith’s cover of “Thirteen“, and, of course, the Replacements “Alex Chilton“. When the first Big Star song started, I looked down at the crowd and spotted a few faces who looked up towards the booth or the speakers and understood. A small slice of solace in our commiseration.

The next couple hours went a little something like this…
