testing gig [wluw]

Oingo Boingo - Nasty Habits (Demo)
Petra Haden - I can see for miles
Ministry- the missing
the Deviants - Child of the Sky
MC Jack E Chocolate - Pavaroty (from the Rio Baile Funk comp)
Money Mark - Break Open My Shells (the only worthwhile track on a lackluster album from 2004)
Masaki Batoh - You Doo Right
the Ventures Walk Don't Run/Perifidia/Lullaby of the Leaves
(this would've been really cool if I realized there was a 2 minute Spanish intro before the medley. I accidentally ejected this disc before the Lullaby of the Leaves crescendo which sucks because that's my favorite song of theirs. Also check out the Asylum Street Spankers version with an awesome singing saw solo)
Aesop Rock - Number Nine
Essential Logic- Quality Crayon Wax

then I started my slow, destructo set:

Tom Waits - November (more singing saw!)
The Ex - Let's Panic Togethor
Enuma Elish - Imminent Doom

then I countered the destructo set with the super happy set:

Ian Dury and the Blockheads - wake up and make love to me
Puffy AmiYumi - Boogie Woogie No. 5
Dee Lite - What is Love?

Gentlemen Callers present "The Vicious Cycle" [Theatre Building Chicago]

The Gentlemen Callers is my sketch comedy troupe. We perform every now and then. For our last show, we wanted to include different scenes from Chicago. We opened our shows with comedians Hannibal and Dave Odd, and used music from all local bands in between each scene. The music was all picked by myself and Miss Ruby Aftermath.
