TWITCH PLAYLIST

(two playlists in two weeks - how about that! this night was a technical nightmare from start to finish. first of all, i was doing a live powerbook jam and the sound disappeared. then it briefly came back and then off it went again. i have no idea what was up - the computer didn't crash - but i now live in fear that this is going to happen again. then we had records skipping all over the place. after smashing a couple of records out of frustration (note to self - must get out of this habit) and stopping the skipping records stone dead, we realised it was the turntable that was at fault - doh! anyway, this all contributed to (in my opinion) a substandard night - i'd give it 5.5 out of 10. oh well, onwards and upwards.......or downwards and backwards?)
