I'm honored to say that they've asked me to throw their closing party - the theme being the 80s - you know I'm good for THAT one!<br /><br />But, instead of my usual alt-pop, I'm playing some a mix of stuff you love (and love to hate), that's both mainstream AND alternative. The space will be huge, and you will dance. It will be fabulous.<br /><br />Here's the skinny:<br /><br />80's Throw Back Closing Reception<br /> <strong>8pm-Midnight</strong><br /> <br />Join Art Whino for their closing reception as we swim in the vast glory of all that is 80's with moi on the turntables.<br /> <br /> 80's Attire mandatory!<br /> <br /> Prizes for best 80's outfit.<br /> <br /> Atari 2600 Tournament on a giant projection screen with prizes.<br /> <br /> Break dance competition<br /> <br /> Breakers and Thriller Dancers interested in competing email info@artwhino.com<br /> <br />Truth Among Liars will be in the house again to customize your clothing and accessories with their many silkscreen designs. Make sure to bring your items to be customized!<br /><br /><p>Here's the dealio with G40:<br /></p><p>Art Whino teams up with Crystal City BID and Vornado to present G-40: The Summit, a month long exhibition and event series featuring over 500 artists from around the world.</p> <p>The mission of G40: The Summit is to bring the leaders of the New Brow genre together in Crystal City, VA in an effort to explore, discuss and grow this movement. G-40: The Summit will be a culmination of ideas and processes, brought together and highlighted by region and style, creating, for the first time, a full cross examination of this genre.</p> <p>This event will feature 75,000sqft of exhibition space with 4 floors of art! Each floor will represent different hot hubs of the New Brow movement: The DC, New York, and California metro areas, plus one all encompassing floor for international and other regional artists. Visitors of G-40: The Summit will, for the first time, be able to experience entire floors showcasing artists from these regions, and because of this set up, connect the dots of how the different sub-cultures and environs affect the art. From the laid back California Style, to the fast paced New York way of living, the art will bring a fresh visual perspective that words cannot provide. With all the different styles in one place the New Brow movement, now growing and expanding worldwide, will be more comprehensible to the viewer, finally defining the line between the movement’s beginnings to its future. A movement that currently exists without much literature or founding in “traditional” institutions, yet includes some of the most highly recognizable and sought after art in the world, will inevitably become a major player in the intellectual and mainstream art world.</p> <p>Each floor will have 10-30 “Showcased artists” who will activate the space with murals and installations, helping to set the mood for their region. In addition to the showcased artists we will have an additional 50-100 region specific artists exhibited on each floor. The show will run up for a month. During the month there will be musical and visual performances, lectures, and more. Also we will feature various art related groups and non-profits, helping to promote their mission and inspire ongoing conversations about the New Brow art world in DC and beyond.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-2543612797739069988?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-54844895570016399292010-03-20T16:14:00.000-07:002010-03-20T16:17:27.744-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/S6VXDEVURPI/AAAAAAAAAM8/I7ZbuYMRLeE/s1600-h/right_round_8th_ann.jpg"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/S6VXDEVURPI/AAAAAAAAAM8/I7ZbuYMRLeE/s400/right_round_8th_ann.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450858634216228082" /></a><br /><div>So, in March Right Round turns 8.

You can find that article <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/article/78779/Erin-Go-La?action=send">here</a>.<br /><br />Here's the more detailed skinny, in case you're looking for it:<br /><br />Many of the people I work with (brides, companies, event planners) admit to me that they have NO CLUE what kind of music is out there, what their musical taste is, or even how to classify what they already like. They tell me that they often don't even really know where to start. As someone who untangles that complicated musical jumble for folks, and picks the right music for the right events for people for a living, I had one of those epiphany-type lightbulb over the head moments - custom playlists for people.<br /><br />It's simple - I talk to the person, see what they like and what they don't like, figure out the context of the music, where it's going to be played, and step into my mental record store to get it all sorted out - whether the end result is performing live as a DJ, loading music onto an iPod for a restaurant, or burning a few hours worth of music onto CDs for a party - I can do it for you, and give you the experience that you're looking for!<br /><br />You didn't ask, but I'll tell you anyway - there are only 2 arenas where I don't believe this would work:<br /><ol><li>Weddings where dancing is desired. </li><li>Any other event where dancing is desired. </li></ol><br />Here's why - and I'm hoping my DJ brethren will back me on this one - there is no substitute for the on-the-fly intuition of a good DJ. You can have the most rockin' playlist of all time - if the crowd isn't feeling it, and you don't have someone in control of the decks who can scream "starboard AHOY" (metaphorically speaking, of course), and turn the musical ship in a new direction, your dance party will fall totally flat, and there won't be a thing you can do about it.<br /><br />That said, custom playlists are AWESOME in the following contexts:<br /><ul><li>Shops, restaurants, or other destinations that require atmosphere and background music to set a specific mood<br /></li><li>Professional events that require said atmosphere</li><li>Dinner parties, or any other type of party that - again - needs atmosphere. Spontaneous boogie would not be kicked out of bed for eating crackers, but isn't the primary objective of the night. </li></ul>Having a knowledgeable person in charge of giving you the vibe you're looking for is invaluable - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-lile/124626931393">shoot me a note</a>, and let's talk!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-4223925037911748526?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-46630689247062719062009-11-06T13:51:00.000-08:002009-11-06T13:54:12.870-08:00Tonight I'm opening for Super Diamond (the Ultimate Neil Diamond Tribute Band!) at the 9:30 club - 815 V St NW, Washington, DC!<br /><br />Super Diamond is a San Francisco-based tribute band for the legendary Neil Diamond. It was formed 10 years ago as a side act, it is headed by Randy Cordeiro, better known as Surreal Neil. Cordeiro is a 38-year-old singer-songwriter whose voice has an uncanny resemblance to that of Mr. Neil Diamond.

It's happening on Saturday, 1/17 - the first day of the madness in our fair city, as far as I can tell. I'm actually pretty stoked cause I just found out that I'm going to be sitting on the parade route on 1/20 - woot! Thank you Canadaland! not sure what I did that was so nice to you, but I appreciate the invite!<br /><br />Lots of stuff is coming up - I shall post about all of it in the next few days.<br /><br />SOOOO, that said, I wanted to say a little farewell to stupid, crappy 2008. It wasn't as bad as 2007 by a long shot, but it was a close 2nd for me. I had to let some things go, make some painful decisions, say some very difficult goodbyes, and dump every last cent I earned into my crazy old broke-assed house, but without jinxing it all, I finally feel like I can close the door on several very difficult chapters of my life, and finally take some steps forward. On the upside, my work as a DJ is progressing beautifully, and I'm hoping I can finally put a studio together and get to work on all the remixes and stuff floating around in my noggin.<br /><br />A toast to 2009, new opportunities, and putting one foot in front of the other! With that in mind, here's a New Year's quiz I got from the lovely <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.sweetney.com">Ms. Sweetney</a>. Here goes:<br /><br /><br />1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?<br />Several things:<br /><ul><li>Participated in pure, mass, public bliss (the night of the presidential election)</li><li>Turned the year of meat into the life of meat (yeah, it's true...)</li><li>Experienced the joy of being married to a lovely fella for 10 years</li><li>Ran a 5k and a 10k successfully</li></ul>2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?<br />My resolution last year was "no more drama". I was, sadly, unable to fulfill that resolution.

Did anyone close to you die?<br />Not this year, thankfully.<br /><br />5. What countries did you visit?<br />Does West Virginia count? Other than that, none...<br /><br />6.

Whose behavior merited celebration?<br />Tina Fey as Sara Palin<br /><br />13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?<br />I plead the 5th<br /><br />14. Where did most of your money go?<br />The roof, the outside walls, the inside wall, painting all of the above, and replacing all of the appliances in our kitchen. 'Twas spensive.<br /><br />15.

What was your greatest musical discovery?<br />It was actually more personal - that I could remix a song and it would actually sound pretty great. </p><p>26. What did you want and get? <br />I honestly didn't want a single thing. But I did get a lovely ring for my anniversary</p><p>27. What did you want and not get?<br />A new heater.

Can I just say, for the record, that November has been INSANE? Between wrapping up fixing my broke-assed house (STILL not done - can I just tell you how much I hate doing grout and caulk work??? Apparently it's super easy to fuck it up repeatedly and get so frustrated that you have a nervous breakdown at 6pm on a Thursday - look into it!) and getting geared up for the holiday party rush AND training for the <a href="http://www.runwashington.com/other/jaw10kinformation.html">Jingle All the Way 10k</a> in December, I've found myself with little to no downtime to post this stuff. I peeped at my blog this morning, let out a few expletives, and decided to get down to bid-nez.<br /><br />So, without further delay, here are a few setlists for your viewing pleasure (and, of course, since it's been a bit of time since I did the first one, I don't remember the requests....):<br /><br /><strong>RIGHT ROUND - 11/21/08</strong><br /><br />Missing Persons - Destination Unknown<br />Love &amp; Rockets - So Alive<br />The Cars - Best Friend's Girl<br />Blancmange - Living on the Ceiling<br />Echo ATB - Bring on the Dancing Horses (remix)<br />Kajagoogoo - Too Shy<br />Automaton - Obsession<br />Tears for Fears - Mother's Talk<br />Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger<br />Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax (remix)<br />Miss Kitten - Rippen Kitten<br />The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out<br />The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another<br />New Order - Crystal<br />Depeche Mode - Pleasure, Little Treasure<br />Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You<br />Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up<br />Erasure - A Little Respect<br />Human League - Don't You Want Me Baby?<br />Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up<br />Talk Talk - It's My Life<br />Cornershop - Brimful of Asha (FBS Remix)<br />Nena - 99 Luft Balloons<br />Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go<br />Aha - Take On Me<br />Rational Youth - Saturdays in Silesia<br />Smiths - Ask<br />Violent Femmes - Gone Daddy Gone<br />James - Laid<br />Franz Ferdinand vs. Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on, Take Me Out, Eileen (lil'e mashup)<br />New Order - True Faith<br />The Killers - All These Things that I've Done<br />Pet Shop Boys - Where the Streets Have No Name<br />Big Country - Big Country<br />Peter Bjorn and John - Young folks<br />Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round<br />Real Life - Send Me An Angel<br />Erasure - Chains of Love<br />Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf<br />The Rapture - Woo, Alright<br />Romantics - Talking in Your Sleep<br />Pulp - Common People<br />The Killers vs. Styx - Domo Arigato, Mr. Brightside (lil'e mashup)<br />OMD - Enola Gay<br />Killing Joke - Eighties<br />Peter Schilling - Major Tom<br />Billy Idol -Rebel Yell<br />Le Tigre - Deceptacon<br />Fugazi - Waiting Room<br />Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart<br />Ting Tings vs. the Cars - That's Just Not What I Needed (DJ Matt Hite Mashup)<br />Go Gos - We Got the Beat<br />New Order - Temptation<br />The Clash - London Calling<br />The Smiths - Panic<br /><br /><strong>TINDERBOX - 12/4/08</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />This was bartender Ciam's last night - after working with him for the last...

It was a buzz at first, a slight whisper above the hum of the heater and the fuzz of the white noise machine. But it was noticeable, audible, and getting louder.<br /><br />It was cheering.<br /><br />I saw it this morning with the half-entered password - I started to log into my computer to see what happened - was it possible that I wasn't just dreaming, but that we, the people, made history? Knowing that DC has consistently voted blue in past elections, that was the guess.<br /><br />I stopped logging in and decided to get into the fray - jumped out of bed and pulled on a makeshift outfit, expecting to step outside and back in again - not expecting what I found - pure, incredible, and unbridled joy for the next 4 hours. Who knew I'd spend that time out amongst the revelers, celebrating in my pjs?<br /><br />Every age, every race, from downtrodden to wealthy, punk rock to preppy - I saw friends and aquaintences and co-workers - whoever it was, we were one people united in happiness. I hugged absolute strangers, kissed one man's hand rather than fist-bump him (not only cause I hate that, but just cause... well, you COULD), and danced in the street from 14th and U, ALL the way down to the White House. The scene was INSANE the entire way - people on busses were dancing and cheering; people hanging out of their car windows and sunroofs were high-fiving those running down the middle of the street - when I cheered out to one stranger in her car, she jumped out, ran up, and gave me one of those high pitched, girly, "ohmygodohmygodohmyGOD" jumping up and down-type hugs.<br /><br />You can see the picture above, courtesy of my friend Brian, who was standing in the window at Marvin restaurant - people were LITERALLY going nuts, and did not let up on the momentum for hours, hours, hours, HOURS. The crowd at the white house was no different - alternating their chants between "Yes we CAN" and "na na naaa naaa, na na naaa naaa, hey hey hey, GOODBYE". The police, ever vigilantly standing by, needen't have worried - this was delight, this was relief, this was epic bliss.<br /><br />I've lived in DC all of my life. I've been through 8 presidential elections. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I've never seen ANYTHING quite like this.

I have been ridiculously busy for the last few weeks, and totally forgot to post my setlists for the last Right Round and Tinderbox - FOR SHAME!! I shall now get 'er done, as they say...<br /><br />First, without further delay, here is the setlist from the last Right Round, which I have to say did an excellent job redeeming itself from the abysmal attendance of July and August. Also, I made the decision to go super off the beaten path with this set, which made one particularly drunk attendee comment, "You know, I ordinarily don't like this alternative shit at all... but you did a pretty good job pulling it off". Thanks so much - by chance have you been channeling my dead Nana from the grave with the thinly veiled, sarcastic half-compliments...?<br /><br />Also, there are "**" by requests:<br /><br />B52s - Mesopotamia<br />Stone Roses - Elephant Stone<br />The Cars - Best Friend's Girl<br />OMD - So In Love<br />Echo ATB - Killing Moon<br />** Love &amp; Rockets - So Alive<br />Cetu Javu - Have In Mind (Kaluba mix)<br />** Depeche Mode - Behind the Wheel<br />Big Pig - Break Away<br />** Human League - Fascination<br />The Cure - Let's Go To Bed<br />Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science<br />Tears for Fears - Change<br />** Talking Heads - And She Was<br />The Las - There She Goes<br />Pixies - Here Comes Your Man<br />Erasure - Chains of Love<br />** ABC - The Look of Love<br />Jesus &amp; Mary Chain - Far Out &amp; Gone<br />** Siouxsie - Cities in Dust<br />Blancmange - Do't Tell Me<br />Ministry - Halloween<br />Camoflage - The Great Commandment<br />Nitzer Ebb - Join in the Chant<br />** Men w/o Hats - Safety Dance<br />Men At Work - Land Down Under<br />** Erasure - A Little Respect<br />Blur vs. Book of Love - Tubular Boys (lil'e mashup)<br />Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover<br />Duran Duran - Girls on Film<br />Madness - Our House<br />New Order - Blue Monday<br />Pet Shop Boys - Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing<br />** Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now<br />TMBG - Ana Ng<br />** B52s - Love Shack<br />** Clash - London Calling<br />Smiths - Panic<br />Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams<br />Blondie - Atomic<br />Real Life - Send Me An Angel<br />Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star<br />** Echo ATB - Lips Like Sugar<br />Sinead O'Connor - Mandinka<br />Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough<br />The Cars vs. The Ting Tings - That is Just Not What I Needed (DJ Matt Hite mashup)<br />Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart<br />Soft Cell - Tainted Love<br />Killing Joke - Eighties<br />Flock of Seagulls - I Ran<br />OMD - Enola Gay<br />** Modern English - Melt With You<br />The Cure - Just Like Heaven<br />James - Laid<br />Jam - Town Called Malice<br />Culture Club - Karma Chameleon<br />Adam Ant - Goody 2 Shoes<br />Violent Femmes - Prove My Love<br /><br />encores<br />Fugazi - Waiting Room<br /><br />Robyn Hitchcock &amp; The Egyptians - Balloon Man<br /><br />=-=-=-=-=<br /><br />Okay, now here's the setlist for Tinderbox. While attendance for Right Round was excellent, let's just say the bartender and I enjoyed this setlist for Tinderbox. It was nice and crowded during the VP debates - I guess everyone had pesky "sleep" to attend to afterwards. Whatever, here's your list:<br /><br />Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More<br />Beasties - She's Crafty<br />Add N to (X) - Take Me to Your Leader<br />Information Society - Knife &amp; A Fork<br />Sahara - Dhol Track<br />Gorillaz - Get the Cool Shoe Shine<br />Ladytron - Miss Black<br />The Damned - Eloise<br />B-Movie - Nowhere Girl<br />XTC - Mayor of Simpleton<br />Elvis Costello - What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding?<br />Maccabees - Precious Time<br />M.I.A. - Paper Planes<br />Roots Manuva - Again &amp; Again<br />Nortorious BIG - The What<br />DJ Jazzy Jeff &amp; the Fresh Prince - Parents Just Don't Understand<br />Girl Talk - Once Again<br />Berlin - The Metro<br />DJ Nasty - Who the Fuck Is That<br />Rolling Stones - Paint It Black<br />Squeeze - Is That Love<br />Outkast - Hey Ya<br />Uffie - Pop the Glock<br />Ratatat - Cryos<br />Scissor Sisters - I don't Feel Like Dancing<br />KRS One - Can't Wake Up<br />Santogold - Creator<br />Swizz Beats - It's Me Snitches (Instrumental)<br />Saqi - Saqi Da Don<br />The Bug - Poison Dart<br />Wiley - Treddin' on Thin Ice<br />Lady Soverign - Love Me or Hate Me<br />Wiseguys - Ooh La La<br />Up, Bustle &amp; Out - Carbine<br /><br />Needless to say, I ended a bit early. WHATever. :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-7857495333520776990?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-71678883586736250982008-10-08T14:27:00.000-07:002008-10-08T14:28:52.044-07:00You can find it <a href="http://http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/express/pdfs/EXPRESS_10082008.pdf">here</a>, on page E8<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-7167888358673625098?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-35884506384824225682008-10-07T08:49:00.001-07:002008-10-07T12:26:27.736-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SOuFD1cFFVI/AAAAAAAAAKE/I3JoNObvN3g/s1600-h/andy_and_i.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SOuFD1cFFVI/AAAAAAAAAKE/I3JoNObvN3g/s320/andy_and_i.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254439691188770130" border="0" /></a><br /><br />9/19 was my 10th wedding anniversary.

I'll post more pics in my flickr account later on. For now, drink in the words of "Love Letter", by the lovely and talented Nick Cave, who couldn't have written a more appropriate song for the likes of A &amp; I if he tried. (For the uninitiated, A &amp; I dated in high school, broke up, then our relationship came back together 15 years ago with letters to and from Scotland, solidifying itself when A flew over the ocean to tell me he was in love. That's the super abbriviated version, but you get the picture):<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6KZqfN9eh8w&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6KZqfN9eh8w&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />I hold this letter in my hand<br />A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer<br />I hope it does as I have planned<br />Losing her again is more than I can bear<br />I kiss the cold, white envelope<br />I press my lips against her name<br />Two hundred words.

I remember the morning as one of those gloriously bright, deliciously warm mornings the fall can occasionally delight us with - I even remember regretting the choice of wearing a sweater as I walked to work.<br /><br />The moment I came in the building, I knew something was wrong. Everyone who was in the office a bit before 9:00am was huddled around our conference room television set, watching the news of the unthinkable. I remember that we collectively thought it was an accident of the most horrible kind. Then the other plane hit, and we knew this was no accident.<br />My mother was at BWI airport, awaiting a flight to Tucson, Arizona - I tried to call her cell phone, but to no avail - the lines were jammed. She said that just after the first plane hit, simultaneously all of the televisions in the airport turned off, and everyone’s, EVERYONE’S cell phones began ringing.<br /><br />As the events in New York unfolded with more and more madness, I looked out the window of our conference room - we were high up the first hill on Wisconsin Avenue from the river, and had a fairly perfect view of the Potomac, the Pentagon, and Rosslyn. I saw planes fly along the path to Reagan National dozens of times a day, so I disregarded the plane I was seeing - in fact, I don’t even remember seeing it bank sickeningly toward the Pentagon. All I remember is the explosion, and the scream that came out from my guts as the fireball blew into the sky. My husband and I saved my answering message to him from that day for quite some time. In recalling it, he said, “I’ve never heard you sound like that before, and I hope I never do again”<br />We, the people of DC were the walking dead that day. Scores of businessmen, retail clerks, waiters, and more just wandered around in the hours following, trying to figure out what the hell to do aside from gluing ourselves to the television.<br /><br />That day changed me in so many ways - I fell into a long stretch of mistrust, of plotting exit strategies, and of paranoia toward my fellow man that seemed to take forever to dissipate. But one way it changed me for the better is that it solidified my undying love for DC - my city, and the city of 6 generations of my family before me.<br /><br />(transcribed from comments on <a href="http://www.welovedc.com/2008/09/11/we-remember-september-11-2001/">this </a>post)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-2840749825096422165?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-45544346591404376752008-09-09T13:30:00.000-07:002008-09-09T14:06:05.809-07:00<p>I found this post today, and thought it would be fun to try (particularly in honor of the year of meat...). The text here is pulled from the original site, verbatim:<br /><br /></p><p>"Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life.

Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.</p> <p>Here’s what I want you to do:</p> <p>1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.<br />2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.<br />3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.

You may be asking yourself, "self, why did lil'e DJ such a party?"<br /><br />Well, I'll tell you...<br /><br />Actually, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/07/18/ST2008071801869.html">my darling husband</a> used to work there, many many moons ago, both as a server and the assistant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommelier">sommelier</a>. Since then, we've stayed close with a good number of folks there (and, considering where A is now, we run into these peeps in all the foodie circles you can imagine), and as such, when and if they need a DJ, they know they can give me a jingle and I'll be there! The party was held out at the <a href="http://www.marriottranch.com/">Marriott Ranch</a>, not far from where Andy and I used to live when we were out there - I'd forgotten how absolutely beautiful it is!!! Granted, <a href="http://www.rappahannocknews.com/news/2008/aug/21/woman-thrown-convertible/">this </a>crazy, completely unrelated thing happened that same night, but that's a totally different story, best left to the press...<br /><br />Anyway, they wanted chill, cross-genre music, which I was happy to provide - so before you go getting all crazy about me playing Tim McGraw and whatnot, remember where I was, k?<br /><br />And now, the setlist:<br /><br />Tim McGraw/Faith Hill - It's Your Love<br />Bill Monroe - What Would You Give<br />Johnny Cash / June Carter - Jackson<br />Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places<br />Hank Williams Sr. - Tennessee Waltz<br />Patsy Cline - Crazy<br />James Taylor - How Sweet It Is<br />Bob Marley - Guava Jelly<br />Carbon Leaf - Life Less Ordinary<br />Bob Dylan - Baby, Let Me Follow You Down<br />Feist - 1234<br />Art Lyman - Pearly Shells<br />Nouvelle Vague - Marian<br />The Grateful Dead - Brown Eyed Girl<br />Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey<br />Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am<br />The Jam - That's Entertainment<br />Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares for Me<br />The Stranglers - Golden Brown<br />Corrine Bailey Rae - Like A Star<br />Bill Withers - Lovely Day<br />Nouvelle Vague - Guns of Brixton<br />Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright<br />LTJ Bukem - Tayla: Stargazing<br />Kevin Yost - Round About Midnight<br />Mark Moulin - What<br />Dusty Springfield - Son of A Preacherman<br />Thunderball - On the Sly<br />Bonobo - Ketto<br />Natasha Bettingfield - These Words<br />Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road<br />B. Erotica - Colorblind<br />Jackson 5 - Want U Back (Z Trip remix)<br />CCR - Down on the Corner<br />Rolling Stones - Miss You<br /><br />Then I took a break for <a href="http://www.partyco-op.com/id14.html">Safari Bingo</a> the clown (seriously - I can't make this stuff up), who did a whole cute mini rodeo thing with a hedgehog, hampsters and a rabbit. The kids loved it - and I have to admit, it was pretty entertaining.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the set...<br />Damian Marley - Move<br />Lady Soverign - Love Me or Hate Me<br />Up, Bustle and Out - Carbine 744, 520…<br />Madonna - Lucky Star<br />Hot Chip - Over and Over<br />Steeler's Wheel - Stuck In the Middle With You<br />Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime<br />Dinah Washington - Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby?

People seemed to enjoy my remix of the song "My Own Additction" by <a href="http://www.23rainydays.com/">23 Rainy Days</a>, so that was good. Granted, my broke-assed toe, even all bound up and buddied to my other toe, is still all broke-assed feeling, and also looked like a teeny weeny little baby balloon after I stood on it for 5 hours whilst DJing. And it's still hurting today - wheee...<br /><br /><br />Perhaps I will feel better by making fun of one of the Olsen Twins by comparing her to E.T. dressed as a girl.

[Yes, he is a youngin' - nice job Mom!! :) ]. We threw him a very cleverly pulled off surprise party over the weekend - and totally GOT him, which is not easy to do. Here he is, with the Dirty Harry cake I made for him, photoshopping his face over that of Clint Eastwood's:<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SKBNMoTKx-I/AAAAAAAAAGs/t2jtgcml7sE/s1600-h/Andy_wine_metal+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233267646376101858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SKBNMoTKx-I/AAAAAAAAAGs/t2jtgcml7sE/s320/Andy_wine_metal+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Here's the image on the cake:</div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233402746901389330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SKDIEg-cYBI/AAAAAAAAAG8/gPVSrU-aLGs/s320/dirtyharry_mike_font.jpg" border="0" />The party was a great success, held across the street at my parents' neighbor's house (thus the clever ruse - we pretended it was a party for the neighbor's father. Mike even brought a present for him - moahahaha). Much good food was eaten, and unfortunately for me, much good booze was consumed. Apparently booze, flipflops, and my mom's staircase do not mix - I took a good tumble and broke my pointer toe, thus spending the last 2 days like this:<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233403016655748818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SKDIUN45PtI/AAAAAAAAAHE/orgv7tpMT1Y/s320/Andy_wine_metal+003.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Don't you just love how the black and white photo adequately captures the beauty of my bound up, broke-assed toe? Luckily my not-as-drunk sister was able to apply ice and arnica immediately and keep me from totally having a frankenfoot, but the way my toe would just... I dunno... FLOP over into a 45 degree angle, unable to be pulled back to normal without help was a bit unnerving. </div><div></div><div>So be nice, and don't step on my toe if you see me, k?</div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-389174052433286229?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-51174601283523537612008-08-11T06:56:00.000-07:002008-08-22T05:06:51.321-07:00So, here I go with one of the first regular, non-Right Round setlists - I'm pretty happy with this one; hopefully it will show my diversit-ay! I thought Tinderbox went very well - there was a good flow all night - mostly people chilling, so I tried to keep it pretty mellow until the end. AND, on the TV, one of my very favorite scary movies of the 80s - <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092632/">The Believers</a>! Seriously, this movie stood the test of time (and for any of you who have seen it, YES, the spider scene is still super freaky and doesn't look all fake, like the face sewing scene from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/">the Terminator</a> does.<br /><br />AAAAAANYway - here's that setlist:<br /><br />Fatboy Slim - Dub Be Good To Me<br />Missy Elliott Mashup - An Acquired Tate<br />Nouvelle Vague - Guns of Brixton<br />Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep<br />Blackalicious - 4000 Miles<br />Nightmares on Wax - 70s 80s<br />Gorillaz - 19-2000<br />Shaggy - Mr. Boombastic<br />Dusty Springfield - Son of A Preacher Man<br />Fugees - Nappy Heads<br />Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke<br />CSS - Music Is My Hot Hot Sex<br />OHMG &amp; Bruno - One<br />Information Society - A Knife &amp; A Fork<br />DJ Y, alias JY - Le Da Soul (Back to Acid Jazz mashup)<br />Lily Allen - LDN<br />The Cure - Six Different Ways<br />Snoop - Nothin' But A G Thang<br />Shabba Ranks - Ting A Ling<br />Shinehead - Gimme No Crack<br />Kate Nash - Foundations<br />Autokratz - It's On<br />Hot Chip - Over &amp; Over<br />Squeeze - Take Me I'm Yours<br />Lady Soverign - Love Me or Hate Me<br />Panjabi MC - Bheer<br />Yelle - Je Veux...<br />Radiohead Mashup - The Night of Kitten's Messy Dream<br />Fatboy Slim - The World Is Made Up of This and That<br />Peter Bjorn &amp; John - Young Folks<br />Battles - Atlas<br />Ladytron - Ghost<br />Basement Jaxx - Make Me Sweat<br />M.I.A. - 10 Dollar<br />Lily Allen - Alfie<br />Eazy-E - Gimme That Nutt<br />Damian Marley - Road to Zion<br />Beastie Boys - Hey Ladies<br />Panjabi MC - Beware of the Boys (Instrumental)<br />Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize<br />Salt &amp; Pepa - Shoop<br />Blackalicious - Alphabet Aerobics<br />Tegan &amp; Sara - Back In Your Head<br />Damien Marley - All Night<br />Ting Tings - That's Not My Name<br />Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You<br />Coldcut Featuring Roots Manuva - True Skool<br />Beanie Man - Let Him Go<br />Gift of Gab - Way of the Light<br />Mad Kap - Dopest Verse<br />Cramps - Human Fly<br />Against Me - Don't Lose Touch<br />TMBG - The Guitar<br />Killers - All These Things That I've Done<br />Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills<br />Fugazi - Waiting Room<br />Madonna - Lucky Star<br />Uffie - Pop the Glock<br />Stereo MCs - Step It Up<br />Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me<br />Mock &amp; Toof - Beat Up<br />Lifesavas - Hellohihey<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-5117460128352353761?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-59949203899278229562008-08-05T16:09:00.000-07:002008-08-06T04:42:04.758-07:00There are times, as a DJ, when you have to dig deep in order to get through a gig. This can be for a number of reasons, and many of them have nothing to do with the type of music you're playing (although if they do, GOD help you, cause you're talking about hours upon hours split into 3 minute, 30 second daggers through your brain). For me, faulty gear or an oddball setup is often the culprit when I have a challenging gig since, let's be honest, I'll play the sound of water dripping if there's some type of beat layered behind it.<br /><br />Last Saturday, I played one of those challenging gigs. (pause for dramatic effect).<br /><br />As you'll recall, on said Saturday I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">DJ'd</span> the <a href="http://youlovelile.blogspot.com/2008/08/get-yer-tagrs-on-and-get-over-to-art.html"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Tagür</span>-featured/sponsored opening</a> at the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.artwhino.com">Art <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Whino</span> Gallery</a>. Really neat concept - the artists took pristine <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Tagür</span> shoes, created a painting of their choosing, and decorated the kicks as a companion piece. There were some really stunning pieces at the gallery - and seeing the level of custom footwear coming through the door on the feet of the spectators, this show was well appreciated. The gallery space is lovely - open and clean, with high ceilings and lots of extremely cool art and even cooler artists. The owners are nice, the booze is free - you get the picture. The setup is such that you're pretty much guaranteed to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">have</span> a good time. Being that <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tagur.com"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Tagür</span></a> was the main draw of the event, I knew there would be a high hip hop contingent in attendance, so I did my homework, beefed up my hip hop selections, just got my head on straight for the gig. I knew solid <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">turntablism</span> was going to be a must, and that, basically, I had to be as bad-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">assed</span> as I could for this gig.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Soooooo</span> then the torrential downpour and the tornado "thing" sort of befell the DC metro area. And apparently the power just sort of... stopped happening at the gallery. Cue the DJ needing to be resourceful.<br /><br />Walking in and seeing the owner of the space you're about to DJ in pacing in front of the door, waiting for you to arrive whilst simultaneously wringing his hands is never good. Trust me. "Please please PLEASE can you help me figure out how to make SOME level of music happen?" he said. "NO PROBLEM," says I. At that point, the lights were on, and I figured there was a cord askew or something.<br /><br />So I tried unplugging and re-plugging cords<br /><br />And I tried switching out cables<br /><br />And I tried going into the shop next door and running a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">friggin</span> 150 foot power cord into the gallery...<br /><br />...but there was just not enough power for everything. There was enough power to light up the little indicator light on the bad-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">assed</span>, 15" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">JBL</span> powered speakers, but apparently that was all that was going to be online as far as speakers were concerned. There was actually not enough power to make sound come out of the speakers, no matter what we tried. And we tried everything. The charger for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">iPod</span> that the gallery owner brought to play music before I started worked. My mixer worked. But, alas, neither the speaker nor my CD players were having it. Not even kinda. Not even plugging them into separate outlets, right by the main breaker box. SO, having 1/2 power might make it possible to keep the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">iPod</span> charged while we passed around the headphones amongst the gallery patrons, but it wasn't really going to make any level of atmospheric-type sound happen in the packed gallery.<br /><br />The very, very, VERY packed gallery. The very packed, very <em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">un</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">air conditioned</span></em> gallery. The very packed, very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">un</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">air conditioned</span> gallery - wiiiiith the owner of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Tagür</span> Footwear walking around, probably wringing his hands a little.<br /><br />Little known fact about me - I sweat. A LOT. Especially when I'm nervous. I know - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">ew</span>. But, seriously, if it was possible to power a city with a nervous, sweaty brow, I'd be strapped to Main Street with a gutter on my head. Whee. So no<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">t having</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">air conditioning</span> and having <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">assloads</span> of stress piled on did not help me to feel too terribly "fresh", if you will. We came to the conclusion that we needed a stronger generator - but the closest one was an hour away, from our best calculation. And since they haven't perfected the whole "sweat-channeling thing I'm thinking about, we had to put our heads together a bit.<br /><br />Then, a moment of brilliance in the midst of this sweat-soaked situation. The generator in the gallery owner's Cadillac <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Escalade</span>.<br /><br />Yes, it turned out that plugging an extension cord into a generator in an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Escalade</span> parked out front partially saved the day. While I often think of such cars as sucking the life out of our planet, I have to admit that I was actually kinda happy with this solution. Cause... um... it was the only thing that had enough power to get the speakers going. Now, my CD players were a different story. We were afraid to blow the generator, so knowing that outlet power could power an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">iPod</span>, my laptop, and my mixer, and having the right connectors to get it all hooked up, I figured, what the hell? I may as well try something I've never tried before.<br /><br />I'll be honest, while the show was already hot, the music side of the event went pretty amazingly, considering we only had one speaker, who was drawing it's power from a 50-foot cord plugged into an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Escalade</span>, and we could only power an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">iPod</span> and a laptop aside from that. I couldn't <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">beatmatch</span> - hell, I couldn't even CUE up music under less than a few seconds; so being on my toes wasn't just important, it was imperative. In spite of that, some serious <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">breakdancers</span> came out in full force and rocked it the fuck out for almost 2 hours. <br /><br />Check this out:<br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nq9aMJcYekU&amp;hl=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" fs="1"></embed><br /><br />Granted, <em>I'm</em> not featured in the video, but you can't have everything...<br /><br />SO, all of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">tha</span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">t being</span> said, here's as much of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">setlist as I can remember at this point</span>:<br /><br />DJ Y, alias <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">JY</span> - Le <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Da</span> Soul (Back to Acid Jazz <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">mashup</span>)<br />Information Society - A Knife &amp; A Fork<br />Digital Underground - Kiss You Back<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Lifesavas</span> - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Hellohihey</span><br />Black Sheep - the Choice Is Yours<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">Coldcut</span> Featuring Roots <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">Manuva</span> - True <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">Skool</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">Dizzee</span> Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Beenie</span> Man &amp; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">Panjabi</span> MC - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44">Jogi</span> (NY Mix)<br />The Whip - Blackout (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45">Shinichi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_46">Osawa</span> Remix)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_47">Uffie</span> - Pop the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_48">Glock</span><br />The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_49">Yelle</span> -<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_50">Je</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_51">Veux</span> Te <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_52">Voir</span><br />Hot Chip - (Just Like We) Breakdown<br />M.I.A. - 10 Dollar<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_53">Fugees</span> - Nappy Heads (Remix)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_54">Shabba</span> Ranks - Ting A Ling<br />The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_55">Beenie</span> Man - Let Him Go<br />Snoop <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_56">Dogg</span> Featuring E-40, MC <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_57">Eiht</span>, Goldie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_58">Loc</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_59">Daz</span> &amp; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_60">Durupt</span> - Candy (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_61">Drippinn</span>' Like Water)<br />Missy Elliott - Work It<br />Giant Robot - Get Up (w/ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_62">Hosni</span>)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_63">Eazy</span> E - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_64">Gimmie</span> That <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_65">Nutt</span><br />Snap - Snap<br />Lyrics Born - I Like It, I Love It<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_66">L'Trimm</span> - Cars that Go Boom<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_67">Dizzee</span> Rascal - Dance <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_68">Wiv</span> Me (feat.

Then a second day. Then a third and fourth day, cause I felt even stupider that it wouldn't get the fuck out of my head. It is now the fifth day of thinking on this, and it's still indelibly etched in my noggin - the information earworm that will NOT piss off, no matter what.<br /><br /><div>So here goes. Promise you won't laugh at me. Or if you do, promise at least that you'll do it behind my back... Okay, you promised.<br /></div><br /><div>Does anyone else out there believe that Nicole Kidman, like, totally faked her pregnancy? [hold for stupified pause followed up with gales of laughter, sent in my general direction]. Don't you also love how I tried to hide the ridiculousness of that question by making it seem as if a teenager wrote it with a strategically placed use of the word "like"?</div><br /><div>I know this is a weird tangent to go on - and I SWEAR to god I'll make it brief. But, I was looking at pictures in People Magazine - and yes, since I'm already going out on a limb and admitting that I actually used several hours of my life's brainspace thinking on this topic, I am now going to admit to friggin' EVERYone that I have a subscription to People. So sue me. </div><br /><div>Anyway, so in spite of the fact that I willingly, knowingly, and sometimes excitedly read my beloved People each week, admittedly I feel a bit like a foie gras goose with the whole NK pregnancy thing - and how fucked up is it when People, aka Peoplecrack, absolutely GUSHES for pages and pages about how pregnant Nicole is, like, "WOO, we saw her baby bump. SEE, she's just like ALL of you [pathetic saps who sit by the front door every Friday, just waiting for their weekly dose of Peoplecrack]"<br /><br />I'm sorry, but THIS is not what most women look like when they are 6 months pregnant:</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228249619131347730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SI55VAFlMxI/AAAAAAAAAGU/5zjJ5kP-HEA/s320/kidman_1.jpg" border="0" /><br />Because, if it is, I have been 6 months pregnant for the last year. Seriously. </div><br /><br /><br />NO, THIS is what most women look like at 6 months:<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228250210481898898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SI553bCihZI/AAAAAAAAAGc/VRKI5yIyPB8/s320/5months.jpg" border="0" /><br />Oh, did I say SIX months? I meant that this anonymous woman above is FIVE months pregnant, and gigantic. Which means Nicole Kidman is totally faking it. And before you get all crazy and say I'm jealous and over-reacting, please recall that I've actually <em>met</em> Nicole Kidman. In fact, I DJ'd her closing party for the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427392/">The Invasion</a>, so I got to STARE fixedly at the woman in a way that some might label as creepy for the better part of 5 hours. So, while I am no expert on childbirth, I can tell you that a 6 foot tall, 115 pound woman is going to have more than an itty bitty tummy if she's six months pregnant, m'kay??<br /><br /><br />I <em>think</em> that little rant may satisfy my need to get this off my chest. We'll see in another five days.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-7746293513728708389?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-88592228990668032792008-07-23T07:16:00.000-07:002008-07-23T07:18:38.431-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.reformschool.net/images/myspace_ani.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.reformschool.net/images/myspace_ani.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="cls_res_info"> <div class="clr3"><p><strong>The summer edition of Reform School</strong> </p><p>DJ lil'e (Right Round, Tinderbox)</p><p>DJ ReddAJ (Razzmatazz)</p><p>DJ PGee (Crash)</p><p>DJ Sara (Pow Wow, KICKS!)</p><p>DJ Kim (Pow Wow, KICKS!)</p><p>60's rock, 70's disco, 80's retro, 90's dance plus alternative, hip hop, new wave and punk</p><p>School Uniforms Encouraged</p><p>Rock and Roll Hotel<br />1353 H Street, NE<br />Washington D.C.<br />20002 </p><p>Saturday, July 26th<br />9:30pm-2:30am<br />$10 All Ages</p><p>Website - <a href="http://www.reformschool.net/">www.reformschool.net</a> </p></div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-8859222899066803279?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-38488118307138017612008-07-18T16:18:00.001-07:002008-07-18T16:18:57.652-07:00Lookit, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/15/AR2008071502120.html">my fella's in the paper</a>.

I feel totally stupid and old and so 1996 admitting that, but I honestly always thought I'd be happy just putting the thing on shuffle, and leaving my music up to the gods to decide. Admittedly, I rarely ever even listened to those pre-existing playlists that iPod sets up for you, with the exception of my "25 most played". The only reason they were my most played, I came to realize, was because I'd click "back" whenever stuff I liked popped up on my shuffle. Eventually, I started getting a bit tired of hearing Cat Stevens and Nick Drake when I wanted to hear Hot Chip and Squeeze. But I put up with it for quite some time - a year and 4 months, to be exact...<br /><br />God, I feel like my grandmother explaining to me how she would record "her stories" on her ancient VHS recorder. OY.<br /><br />Aaaaaanyway - the other day I was loading a bunch of new stuff onto my iPod, and decided to put together a list of all the songs I currently have on the pod that make me happy. Literally, the list is called "Makes Me Happy". I don't just mean that these songs elicit a little sigh and a slight grin when I hear them - I mean these are the songs that move my feet - make me dance on the metro and sing out loud no matter WHO is standing there listening. If I play them when I DJ, I must look like a mega-spaz cause I can't control my dancing feets and flailing limbs. These songs inspire me, cause me to expertly play not only the air drums, but the air bass and the air guitar too, and I've even been known to hold an air microphone from time to time. I'm like the <a href="http://prince.org/msg/7/229592">Prince</a> of playing the air instruments... Some of these songs make me feel like I've jumped off a cliff and am flying, and some make me feel like I just want to run in place a-la <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_wcnyaUwHg&amp;feature=related">Jennifer Beals in Flashdance</a>. Some are songs that have always made me feel this way, some are songs that grew on me, and some are songs that I just discovered in the last few days. Some embarass me to the point that I turn them all the way down when someone is next to me in traffic, and some I blast with a devil-may-care type volume. But, without question, in my heart they all made this list because I have some level of deep, ridiculous love for them. A love that can only be topped by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Glutino-Wafers-Vanilla-4-6-Ounce-Boxes/dp/B000EVG8J2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=grocery&amp;qid=1215636512&amp;sr=1-3">chocolate covered, vanilla Glutino wafer cookies</a>. You think I'm kidding...?<br /><br />Anyway, all of that being said, I thought you, lovely readers, may like to see this playlist. It's a work in progress, but it's about as honest a depiction as I can provide of what constitutes as perfect musical genius, in my opinion.

The high school picture has both my natural hair color and my natural eyebrows, pre-plucking (although my desire to be Siouxsie changed that in very short order).<br /><br />In Sweetney's original post, which stemmed from some oddball Twitter drama (I still never understand how cyber-stalking some random person's every movement throughout the day qualifies you to start shit with them, but whatever...), she mentions the trials and tribulations of being "the weirdo" in HS. You should read it via the link above - that lady has some pretty solid observations about the desire to keep it real, so to speak, in the face of one's antagonizers.<br /><br />You can read my comment on the post itself, or right here:<br /><div class="comment-content"><p>I grew up right outside of Washington, DC, and can tell you it doesn't matter how small or big the town... At the time my wee tiny band of 4 punk rock and goth friends were the ONLY ones in our school - which prompted lots of very lovely sharks/jets type confrontations in the main courtyard with the jock kids. </p> <p>I think my very "favorite" high school experience was having a full bucket of water poured down on my head from the 2nd floor as I stood in same courtyard. It was like the movie Carrie, with less blood and (sadly) no raging fires to consume all the a-holes. Sigh.</p> <p>Funnily enough, I ran into one of my main antagonizers last year - he was out and about with his wife and family. He introduced me to his wife in the following way: "This is Erin, this girl who was a total freak in high school, but, you know, was still one of my good friends". Even though it was one of those moments I'd spent 15 years dreaming about, I felt for a second like maybe I should just let it go. But then I thought of the bucket of water, the taunts (the kinder of my nicknames were Satan, Edward Scissorhands, and Beetlejuice - the not-so-nice one started with a "C" and rhymes with "punt"), the torture my friends and I endured at the hands of these bullies, and I just couldn't hold back. Cause every day of high school, knowing what was coming the second I set foot on campus, I still got up, teased out my hair Robert Smith style, put on my combat boots and took those kickings in order to be the person I wanted to be - needed to be. And I wasn't going to let it be for nothing. </p> <p>So, I actually said to this guy, "Funny, I don't remember our relationship in high school quite the same way you do. Not sure if it was the lovely nicknames you all gave me - like Satan, for example, or the way you taunted me or threatened to beat me up every time I walked near any of you, or the bucket of water you all poured on my head that is filtering MY memories, but so you know, you and your friends made me pretty miserable for the entire time I was in high school. Kinda makes me understand those school shooter kids, you know?" And turned and walked away. </p> <p>Bitter? No, actually. Just angry that it was ever an issue in the first place, and doesn't seem to get better, in spite of the fact that the lines are substantially more blurred between the "weirdos" and everyone else.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-3370898152378011911?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-20455744178959629522008-06-24T10:34:00.000-07:002008-06-25T06:33:26.289-07:00I may be the last person who knows about such things, always, but my dad sent this video to me this morning, and I got such a kick out of it, I have to share:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zlfKdbWwruY&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zlfKdbWwruY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Enjoy!!<br /><br />I wanted to add a "p.s." to this posting - particularly after reading Monica's comment...<br /><br />There are a couple of things that I love about this video in particular:<br /><br />- That this is how Matt's body moves when he just needs to dance around, and I think that's kind of rad.<br />- The fact that this act itself was the thing that got this guy around the world.<br />- That one scene in India.<br />- That other scene in Papua New Guinea.<br />- ANY scene with kids.<br />- The outtakes that pop up in a separate video if you watch this on youtube.<br />- This guy's <a href="http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/?fbid=JRIcU">subsequent website</a>.

I raised $630 - $130 past my goal, and the team raised $4,048 - $715 past our collective goal!!!!!<br /><br />I ran the race on Saturday - in spite of the record heat wave, I managed to finish my 3.2 miles in 30:35, with 2 9.5 minute miles, a break after mile 2 for water, and a final 11 minute mile. Not too shabby at all for a first-timer!

I mean it.<br /><br />Yes, I hate that song with a passion blinder than the eye power of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder smooshed together. Why, you ask? I am ever-so-happy to jump up on my soap box and spew forth some hateful bile regarding this topic, thank you very much...<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>1)</strong> Forced happy makes me cringe (case in point - the song "<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=T8NhJNpQlsY">Love Shack</a>" by the B52s - I don't care how much Kate Pierson does those fake happy sounds in the background, the song is still annoying as hell). I am, in fact, cringing this very moment, thinking of it.<br /><br /><strong>B)</strong> Everyone and their brother - in the advertising world and otherwise - feels the need to play that song in order to express some FALSE vision of collective joy toward humanity. I don't care if it's used for a friggin' montage, or to show that someone in a movie had a major financial or relationship breakthrough, or to sell telephone service; I want to claw my eyes out and run screaming in circles, praying for spontaneous combustion from that first "WEAGH" or whatever the hell sound it is Katrina vomits out within 5 seconds of the song starting.<br /><br /><strong>and third) </strong>Name one other Katrina and the Waves song. Exactly.<br /><br />ALSO - have you seen the <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=eONhto0x_nI">terrible video</a>??? The song is called WALKING ON SUNSHINE. Why then, pray tell, would they film the damn video on the most dismal day of the year in England, at the most depressing-assed abandoned factory in the entire universe. Trying to be ironic, Katrina? Only with that outfit and that hair. Srsly.<br /><br />PHEW - that has been ON my mind since yesterday. Thank you for listening.<br /><br />Now, without further cringing, steaming adieu, here's the setlist from last week's right round (speaking of being "hot as an oven" - holy crap, y'all, could it have been hotter in there???)

All the stuff from the forthcoming album (especially the song freak show) sounded absolutely great.<br /><br />OH, and right before the show, as we were walking up to the Patriot Center, I saw the tour bus, and what looked like a big mop of black hair emerging from the side of it. It was THE MAN himself, talking on his cell phone - and nobody noticed but me!!! After screetching for my friends to GET OVER HERE NOW, I then screetched "hi Robert Smith on his cell phone!!!!" and waved frantically - to which I got a little wave and a grin back.<br /><br />I can die now.<br /><br />Anyway, here's the setlist from the show - and here's my favorite of the cell phone pics (feel free to be sosososo jealous whilst you see how close I was - thank you SOOOOOOO much Ed Stack!!!!) </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199683652948886818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/SCj8u7ZshSI/AAAAAAAAAEo/jFoEHkqkkUs/s320/IMAGE_00008.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p><br /><br />plainsong<br />prayers for rain<br />a strange day<br />alt.end<br />the walk<br />the end of the world<br />lovesong<br />to wish impossible things<br />pictures of you<br />lullaby<br />the perfect boy<br />from the edge of the deep green sea<br />hot hot hot<br />the only one<br />push<br />friday i'm in love<br />inbetween days<br />just like heaven<br />primary<br />shake dog shake<br />never enough<br />wrong number<br />one hundred years<br />disintegration<br /><br /><strong>Encore:<br /></strong><br />at night<br />m<br />play for today<br />a forest<br /><br /><br /><strong>Encore 2:</strong><br /><br />the lovecats<br />let's go to bed<br />freak show<br />close to me<br />why can't i be you?<br /><br /><br /><strong>Encore 3:</strong><br /><br />boys don't cry<br />jumping someone else's train<br />grinding halt<br />10:15 saturday night<br />killing an arab </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-3703879002616640755?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-22597714721369388782008-05-07T10:35:00.000-07:002008-05-12T07:45:21.436-07:00First of all, I love that the tagline for the Race for the Cure is "I am the cure". Considering my love for 80s alt pop, you can see why this is funny for me - who wouldn't want to be The Cure???<br /><br />(Fake argument between Robert Smith and I):<br />RS: Erm, I am the Cure.<br />e: I'm sorry Robert, but I beg to differ. AND I have an "I am the cure" t-shirt to prove it, k?<br />RS: (whimpers, skulks away)<br /><br />All joking aside, though, I recently accepted the challenge to support the fight against breast cancer by participating in <a href="http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm">Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure</a> on June 7, 2008 in Washington, DC. I will run my little feets off for a few miles that morning, and am hoping I can also get all my darling family, friends, peeps and the rest of you lot to <a href="http://2008nrftc.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=263218&u=263218-210200436&e=1682942752">throw some money into my fund-raising coffer</a>.<br /><br />Here is some info provided by the peeps at RftC:<br /><br />1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime and the more money we raise, the more Susan G. Komen for the Cure® can give back to fund vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community.<br /><br />$3 million of the funds raised through the 2007 Race remained in the Washington, DC, community – including metro-area counties in Virginia and Maryland – to fund outreach programs and initiatives that address the specific unmet breast health needs of the area. Washington, DC, has the highest breast cancer mortality rate in the United States.<br /><br />It is easy to support this great cause. You can make a pledge online by simply clicking on the link to my personal pledge page at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer there is also a downloadable form to send in pledges through the mail. Another option is a general donation by choosing Donations on the website at www.nationalraceforthecure.org.<br /><br />Best protection is early detection!<br /><a href="http://2008nrftc.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&amp;i=263218&amp;u=263218-210200436&amp;e=1682942752"> I AM THE CURE.™</a><br /><br />See, Robert, I AM the cure.

If you'd like to see what goes into becoming a master sommelier, take a look <a href="http://www.mastersommeliers.http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.giforg/faq">here</a> (at the time this was written, there were only 3 levels to the exams, but now there are 4)<br /><br />The next level is master - there are only 158 master sommeliers in the world, so it's a huge, huge deal for Andy to have come this far, with the opportunity to try for that last level.<br /><br />I'm so super proud, I can't see straight!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-2280032098857824603?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-33690043070631637002008-04-24T13:09:00.000-07:002008-04-24T13:10:22.502-07:00I <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/bestof/2008/artsandentertainment/show.php?id=35196">rule</a>!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-3369004307063163700?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-75119050898778615202008-03-17T18:46:00.000-07:002008-03-17T19:02:02.377-07:00Birthdays, Birthdays, BIRTHDAYS!

I was sore (cracked a couple of ribs coughing) and exhausted - but I've also never cancelled a gig. Never. Not when I dislocated my kneecap the day of Right Round, not when I had the flu before Ciao - but I have to say, pneumonia was a whole different ball of wax!!!<br /><br />Anyway, with a bunch of cranberry &amp; sodas and a little stool in the DJ booth, Right Round went well - I was absolutely exhausted throughout, but felt focused and excited about putting a great party together for my dancing fools!<br /><br />Here's the setlist - it's a little different, and proved to me (for the 2nd time) that there's a time and a place for Shock the Monkey - but that time is not 10:00pm to 2:00am, and that place is NOT Right Round.

His parents deserve a tremendous amount of credit - they have tirelessly worked to get this little bub strong and to make sure he stays healthy - not easy, mentally or physically. BUT, some of the credit also goes out to any of you who decided to help this family through <a href="http://desotorecords.com/cal/index.shtml">the callum robbins family fund</a> - your generosity made it possible for J and Janet to focus on Cal's ongoing recovery; and frankly, it directly contributed to his survival.<br /><br />Don't you feel good??? You should.<br /><br />Thanks to anyone who did this as a result of my nagging - J, Janet and Cal are extremely special to Andy and I, and we greatly appreciate anything that anyone has been willing to do to keep this lovely little lad around for a very long time.<br /><br />xoxoxoxo<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-5313247334402683927?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-5242735747805895052008-01-18T10:36:00.000-08:002008-01-18T10:50:01.813-08:00I shall be the opening/between act DJ for my pals, Honor by August - how fun is that?<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R5DyxAw2Q-I/AAAAAAAAADQ/EBoBQcULynI/s1600-h/HBH_lile_poster1.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156888497171612642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R5DyxAw2Q-I/AAAAAAAAADQ/EBoBQcULynI/s400/HBH_lile_poster1.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-524273574780589505?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-7494400737340002662008-01-17T09:08:00.001-08:002008-01-17T09:08:33.061-08:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/IVKJpkq-wNo' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/IVKJpkq-wNo'/></object></p><p>Now that I'm in the year of meat, I can honestly say I can appreciate this a bit more...</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-749440073734000266?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-73532356139064096142008-01-11T19:12:00.000-08:002008-01-11T19:59:45.331-08:00So, here we are in 2008, and all I have to say to dumb old 2007, is GOOD BLOODY RIDDANCE!!!! Aside from the absolute joy I experienced while reading the entire Harry Potter series, start to finish, last year was one of the most personally challenging and friggin' god-awful years I've ever experienced, and I am SO glad to see it come to a close.<br /><br />So, that in mind, here are my resolutions for 2008 (some may make sense, some may seem kind of funky, hippyish and odd, and some may just downright make you scratch your head, but such is the nature of personal, brain-dumpy stuff, I suppose):<br /><ul><li>NO MORE DRAMA, for the love of all that's holy</li><li>attain a true sense of internal and external peace </li><li>um... did I mention no more drama???</li><li>participate in a marathon (I swear I'm not kidding...)</li><li>keep on rocking like there's no tomorrow</li><li>figure out how exactly how to smile with my liver</li><li>erm... and again with that whole no more drama thing...</li><li>save yet ANOTHER busload of orphans - my charity seems never-ending, I swear... :)</li><li>eat even MORE meat! So far I've had bacon, kielbasa, turkey, carpaccio, a burger (with no bun... duh), foie gras, and a teeny bit of salami. I think '09 will be my vegan year, but we'll cross that tofu-paved bridge when we come to it...</li></ul><p>I will say that I was grateful to experience another year of happy wedded bliss (hello, 9th wedding, 13th actual anniversary last year!!!!), financial stability, solid DJ bookings (almost too many - things could be worse, right?!?!?!?!), and ever-improving health, so it wasn't all bad. But of the things I must say goodbye to (like them or not), I include bad knees, Lovely Peter H, my crazy neighbor, The wonderful Mike T, my vegetarianism (again, no hatin') and of course, Trent. </p><p>So, to those things, I blow a very sincere yet worn-out kiss, and look forward with a tremendous amount of optimism to the year ahead. Wish me luck!</p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-7353235613906409614?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-30255699501603844972007-12-24T06:26:00.000-08:002007-12-27T05:48:04.676-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R3Os7Qw2Q9I/AAAAAAAAADI/1gQG7fO80Lo/s1600-h/rrup_sheebop_flyer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148648933126718418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R3Os7Qw2Q9I/AAAAAAAAADI/1gQG7fO80Lo/s400/rrup_sheebop_flyer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>(insert spooky hypnotist music here)<br /><br />you will come to <a href="http://www.blackcatdc.com/schedule.html">Right Round UP</a>! on the mainstage of the Black Cat on Friday, December 28.... and you will dance as you have never danced before....<br /><br />moahahahaha</div><div> </div><div>ps - thanks mellie mel for the rokkin flyer - you rule!!!!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-3025569950160384497?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-5779584917619069582007-12-21T20:30:00.000-08:002007-12-21T20:37:15.326-08:00<div><div>Thanks to the <a href="http://www.sweetney.com/">delightful wife </a>of one of my co-workers, I can now make you laugh with this holiday picture containing a surreal level of funny-as-shitness...</div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146651283707806658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R2yUEww2Q8I/AAAAAAAAADA/d2EbM-8xNd0/s400/truman_wreath.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br />And while we're laughing at the fashion choices of others, may I also present you with the following frighteningly accurate comparison:<br /><br /><div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146651141973885874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3HyaP_ovgXQ/R2yT8gw2Q7I/AAAAAAAAAC4/Y1USartDVqM/s400/compare3na.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>Happy holidays!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-577958491761906958?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-80450732662185530752007-12-15T09:36:00.000-08:002007-12-15T09:43:11.266-08:00Please, for the love of god, watch both of these:<br /><br />For <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=o5nZcFIf3qc">this </a>one, I have to say "wow, that's what happens when you have all the time in the world"<br /><br />For <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0&amp;feature=related">this</a> one, I have to say "wow, that's what happens when you do NOT have all the time in the world"<br /><br />wow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-8045073266218553075?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-24741068151119403682007-12-04T13:28:00.000-08:002007-12-04T14:05:17.708-08:00If you're a vegan, vegetarian, or red meat/pork avoider, you may want to skip this post.<br /><br />If you belong to one of the aforementioned dietary preference groups, decide not to skip this post, keep reading, and begin to feel the burning, bubbling stink of hate rising up in your gullet toward my fella and me, I ask that you bear with me, read to the end, and think fondly of us in some small way as you eat your lentils, ever-so-superiorly.<br /><br />To get to the point: A &amp; I have decided that 2008 is going to be our year of meat. We really do have a good reason, but I'll get to that in a sec. As a vegetarian who has leaned both on the vegan side and the fish side of the veg spectrum for the last 9 years, I can honestly say that meat of any kind has pretty much grossed me out for a majority of my adult life - mainly because of the book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Ethics-Eating-Erik-Marcus/dp/0935526870">Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating</a>" by Erik Marcus. I read the book while I worked on an organic farm that produced beef and poultry - and while we were kind to the critters and crunchy crunchy with our ethics and whatnot, I still couldn't help feeling sorry for the lovely <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagyu">Wagyu</a> cattle being raised to eventually end up on someone's dinner plate. So, when I actually left the flesh behind me, so to speak, I did so for ethical reasons, not because I didn't enjoy tearing into a yummy wagyu tenderloin. Cause I did. (I think I just felt a breeze from all the vegans reading this shuddering collectively.) My dear fella went along with my veggie-ness, mainly 'cause the men in his family tend to start having heart attacks in their 50s, and he wanted to do his part to protect his ticker. I'm guessing my screetching about the poor little cows and chickens probably didn't hurt either...<br /><br />So, fast forward to 2007. Here we are, in lovely old 2007. Except for rare occasions (mainly involving chef friends not knowing our dietary preferences sending us extra courses of foie gras or beef carpaccio - in that case I'd rather politely eat what they send me than waste food and potentially offend against a kind gesture), nary a piece of meat has willingly passed my lips. When it does, I don't find the taste offensive or gross (with a couple of exceptions - cold foie gras and undercooked muscles are 2 textures I haven't quite gotten back to) - I'm just not interested.<br /><br />Now, insert my 10th anniversary into the mix. Not dating anniversary, not total years together anniversary (cause that's 15), but wedding anniversary (thank you, thank you). So, to celebrate, A and I are going to Italy for a nice little wine tour. Nice to be married to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommelier">sommelier</a>, yes it is... Anyway, when you think Italy and vegetarians, what do you think. I, for one think Pasta - which immediately makes me think of being doubled over in pain due to my FUCKING GLUTEN ALLERGY. Stupid, dumb, AWFUL glutens. Hate. Them. (insert spit-filled raspberry here). Thus, our year of meat.<br /><br />I'm actually okay with the year of meat. I know that a title like that invokes some awful picture of someone stuffing as much meat as possible into their face at once (suppressing the urge to gag here, seriously). That's not what I'm thinking. BUT, to be realistic, it's not like I can just go to Italy, see that the only thing I can eat on a menu is meat, and have at it. I would probably get sicker than sick if I did that. Instead, I'm going to allow myself to eat meat when I feel like it for the next 9 months, and get my system ready for the trip. That way, I can actually enjoy myself, and not have to worry about being horribly physically uncomfortable, one way or the other, the whole time.<br /><br />Here are the rules I'm thinking for my year of meat:<br /><br />1) Bacon shall be the first meat I willingly eat in 2008, because bacon is delicious and I have dreamed about it often.<br />2) I will mainly eat fish if it is offered before I will eat red meat, pork or chicken (and please don't tell me why this is just as bad - when you have your own year of meat, you can do it the way you want to, k?)<br />3) I will not eat meat every day or certainly for every course, unless I am in Italy and faced with no other choice.<br />4) I will try unusual meaty things (let your mind be free on that one), because I didn't mind eating them before I went vegetarian, and likely will never have another year of meat again.<br />5) Upon returning from Italy, I shall become meat-free once more.<br /><br />So yeah, please don't hate. I am very careful in my everyday life to be as organic and free-range and ethical with my culinary choices as possible, and think that a year of meat in a lifetime of otherwise very healthy living is not a bad thing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-2474106815111940368?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-4590712745135811552007-11-19T18:21:00.000-08:002007-11-19T18:44:07.221-08:00Friday is my bajillionth high school reunion. Okay, maybe one onemillionth of a bajillion, but the 10 year already came and went many years ago, if you know what I'm saying...<br /><br />Dudes, seriously - I am starting to feel a teensy bit old. I also seriously can't believe that I'm actually going, but for the love of God, I grew up in Rockville, so it's not like I have to get on a plane. PLUS, I didn't go to the last one, so I'm just so friggin' CURIOUS!!!!<br /><br />I mean, who wouldn't want to know what it's like to see these people again - for one thing, they won't have mullets anymore (unless they're those God-awful ironic ones, but those aren't really the type of peeps I went to school with), so that's a plus. Also, I keep wondering if those people who always made fun of me for being the only kid in school with purple hair and a nose ring are the same, or nicer, or WHAT... But, at least at this point, I'm mentally equipped to deal with it. Additionally, the good news is, being a goth girl has it's benefits later in life - all you youngins take note: if you stay completely out of the sun in your formative years (and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize when you start to get a bit older), you will not have wrinkles and people will think you're 24 when you're actually old as hell. YAY!!!<br /><br />ugh. at least it's at a restaurant / bar where I know the owners. I'm sure I'll have some fun and exciting details to come - or at least I won't remember 'cause of all the drinking...<br /><br />Either way, wish me luck!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-459071274513581155?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-88739872882458077902007-11-19T09:25:00.000-08:002007-11-19T09:40:21.702-08:00Good Lord, did I ever have a MUCH better Right Round experience this month!!! There is actually nothing to report, other than 374 attendees, y'all!!! That's definitely one of my top 5 turnouts for the backstage.

Seriously, it's really a huge deal. For example, I have never seen an episode of the following TV programs (trying to think of ones that people actually give a crap about...):<br /><br />30 Rock<br />Ugly Betty<br />Grey's Anatomy<br />CSI - any version<br />The Daily Show since Craig Kilbourne left <span style="font-weight: bold;">IN 1998 </span>(one exception was a rerun that I saw when I was at the beach last weekend, but you get the picture...)<br />Pretty much any other show that's been on in the last 10 years or so, and doesn't intrigue me enough to get it via Netflix (I am more-or-less up to speed on The Sopranos [in the last season now, and managed to avoid all press, so don't friggin' say ANYTHING]; 6 Feet Under; Rome; My Name is Earl; and The US and Brit versions of The Office, so I'm not a total rube...)<br /><br />I do have a TV, and on that TV I watch DVDs, but otherwise, regular TV channels just look like snow in my house, and I know from experience that Andy and I would become akin to comatose zombies if we ever got cable (minus eating brains, of course).<br /><br />Anyway, the point of all this is that I am out of the loop. As such, I just got my first iPod last March, and have been camped out on the shuffle function ever since. I'm fascinated by the shuffle; it's like my iPod really "gets" me sometimes - like, this morning during my walk to the metro/commute to work (total time, about 20 minutes), I was feeling a little glum, and the following songs played (in order):<br /><br />A Dog's Tale - Patrick and Eugene<br />So In Love - OMD<br />You Might Think - The Cars<br />Elephant Stone - The Stone Roses<br />Gwyneth Paltrow - Edie Sedgwick<br />The One Who Got Us Out - Ted Leo<br />Streams of Whiskey - The Pogues<br /><br />I mean, seriously - how could you possibly feel bad after such a list???<br /><br />Granted, there are days where the selections crush me; like the day it was on a Morrissey/Pavarotti/Dead Can Dance kick - I got home and litterally cried for a good 10 minutes. And there are days when it seems like all it wants is electroclash or campy 70s hits (and yes, I do have Captain and Tenille in there - sometimes you're in the mood, you know?) Sometimes I even think it punishes me when I skip past one of its choices - like the time I didn't feel like hearing Missy Elliott, so every other song was a Missy Elliott song...<br /><br />Anyway, I've been wondering what the logic is for the shuffle function. I know there are relevance settings one can select, but outside of that, how the hell does this little electronic device so expertly pick my brain? As always, <a href="http://enkerli.wordpress.com/2005/03/29/ipoditunes-shuffle-mode-really-totally-random/">it looks like I'm not the only one, and of course that I'm on the tail end of this debate</a>.<br /><br />I just love that we humans tend to look for patterns everywhere - even if "random" is just, well, random. And that we humanize everything (my ipod cover is green and my shuffle function is inside my head - thus the Yoda thing).<br /><br />All that aside, I just seriously love the iPod iChing. In fact, here's one now:<br /><br />The Nameless One - The Iditarod<br />Girl Afraid - The Smiths<br />Pavarotti - Nessum Dorma<br /><br />Okay, so you're thinking sad, right??? Then, I get:<br /><br />Elvira - The Oak Ridge Boys<br /><br />I think Yoda knew I needed a good laugh...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13054466-8859169004908413630?l=youlovelile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin Myers, AKA DJ lil'enoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054466.post-86597004680548224042007-11-14T06:52:00.000-08:002007-11-14T06:54:09.355-08:00I'll be taking Right Round UP to the mainstage on Friday, December 28!!!
