NO ROOM FOR SQUARES 01/04/14

PLAYLIST FOR NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT-WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK, READING, SESSION 71, ON 1/4/14. LISTEN TO THE SESSION ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN. NEXT SESSION ON MAY 6th, BCNU-Hopefully-Jim
  WELL A LITTLE LIKE THE LONDON BUSES, ALL THESE MILK MIXES COME AT ONCE DUE TO THE SESSIONS TAKING PLACE ON THE LAST THURSDAY, LAST SATURDAY AND THE FIRSTTUESDAY. THIS SESSION REALLY IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THE VERY BUSY TRIP SESSION A FEW NIGHTS BEFORE. WITH THE BAR NOT SO FULL, I CAN ACTUALLY CONCENTRATE ON WHAT I AM DOING SO THE MIXES ARE "SMOOTHER", AND YOU GET LESS SILLY CHAT FROM ME. THE THEME-IF THERE WAS ONE- WAS TO INCORPORATE SOME "MOD JAZZ" INTO THE SESSION TO CELEBRATE THE ISSUE VERY SHORTLY OF "THE NEW RELIGION"-THE DEFINITIVE BOOK OF MOD WRITTEN BY LOCAL AUTHOR PAUL "SMILER" ANDERSON. SO ABOUT 20 OR SO TUNES FROM THAT GENRE GOT ON. THE SESSION WENT A LITTLE QUIET CUSTOMER WISE TOWARDS THE END, SO I FINISHED A LITTLE EARLY, WITH 50 TUNES PLAYED OVER FOUR HOURS. HOPE YOU ENJOY-Jim.

AS YOU KNOW THIS IS AN ATTENDEE FRIENDLY EVENING, WHERE EVERYONE IS SURROUNDING ME, AND I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SELECTED TUNES AND CHAT TO EVERYONE. AS SUCH TECHNICALLY THINGS DO GO A LITTLE WONKY EVERY SO OFTEN, WITH MICROPHONE FEEDBACK, MIS-CUEING, AND ME EVERY SO OFTEN WHACKING THE CROSS FADER WITH THE MICROPHONE CABLE, CREATING "LOVELY SILENCES" .
