TRIP 25/02/12

THE TRIP, WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK (PREVIOUSLY THE AFROBA)-SESSION 83, PLAYLIST AND JIM’S RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www,jimz.biz , click on Jimz Playlists. NEXT SESSION 31st MARCH
I am beginning at long last to realise where the “plot” is with this evening especially, as musically it is quite diverse. What I seem to do is to approach the sessions with a great deal of order, with far too many tunes with me, and all the other bits and pieces in place. I start with some order (the first five tunes although not pre-empted beforehand-apart from the fifth one-just jumped out at me from the boxes as the theme was to convey a “return”, to play “my music”, to get in a tune with trip in the title, to focus on the vintage element-“time machine”, and finally to name check the new bar name). Then we moved straight into a request to play as much music from Tom Middletons Trip, 3 vinyl compilation, which I did. After loads of those, on go a few mellow classics, while I wait for other requests, like Peter Nice, Gangstarr, De La Soul, and slip in a “theme”, Barbara Thompson. Then the bar gets rammed and on goes Roller Skating Jam, and the evening stays pretty much “up”, until I try to clear the bar playing “corny” tunes. The state of my tunes filing by now is chaotic, but we get there.
Me talking. Well the jury is still out on this one. One of my old mixers did not pick up on my chat, so playback ran as a continuous music tape. However the one we are now using does pick me up, and I deliberately went a little over the top to test it. In spite of issuing a two sided newsletter on the night, sometimes a little bit of chat also helps!-Let’s see how it pans out. It was great yet again to meet someone who used to come to my kids discos in twyford in the 80’s, and be warned I always have some of the tunes from that period with me, but basically gave up the mobile to concentrate on less top 40!, here, but if you talk nicely to me!
The hardened veterans to this night will have noticed I only had about 8 lp cases with me, instead of about twice that amount. This is me trying to be more disciplined, but also using more compilations therefore, and had nothing to do with my car playing up!
The next session is on MARCH 31st, and an interesting one. Normally in the past I have had to put the march session back a week later into april, as I attend the memorabilia fair at the NEC each year, at the end of march. However this year because my equipment is no longer needed by the bar, and is set up for us by Tim, the Mighty AC is going to do the evening for me, so be gentle with him! In turn I am undertaking his night TRACKS and GROOVES here two nights earlier.
Finally, just a big thanks to Tim for taking the bar within a very short space of time to a whole new level, and this is only the start. He is brimming with ideas for the future, and deserves a medal for rescuing the bar from extinction! As such after 9 years here I am so glad I hung on. Hopefully if he has the time this session will get played back during march.
As usual, please join the MILK READING facebook group, or link up with me JIM B. DONOVAN on facebook. The playlists for this and all the other nights I am involved in are at www.jimz.biz , just click on jimz playlists/BCNU Hopefully-Jim

GARBAGE---MILK, we hit 11.00.
HERBIE MANN/RUFUS HARLEY---FLUTE BAG, jazz bagpipes from bbc4, the weekend before.

Well we slipped into the middle night of the afrobas closing party, with nothing but sixties vintage sevens, as the nights either side of us were riddled with cd’s and laptops!!! Well over one hundred tunes got on, and the 60’s club scene sounds bounced off the walls of the oldest commercial building in reading. Next month however, because we would like a little more dancefloor space, we try the session at the COPA, details above. Look forward to seeing you hopefully-Martin/Brian/Jim………..

TRIP 28/01/12

The trip at the afroba-session 82, with vintage vinyl on the 28th Jan 2012, PLAYLIST and jims ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz , click on jimzplaylists.
Next session on SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25th…………
Well I often wonder what an ad. agency would make of trying to describe this night. If I was sticking to one type of music, like many of my other nights, it would be easy, but leaping about playing what I think you will like, then dealing with requests, often paying homage to some recently deceased late greats, and dealing with different groups of customers, who come and go during the evening, means it does get very mixed up. I also try to get requests on as they come in, which often ruins any flow or style that is happening at the time. However because the bar is not laid out or made for dancing this is somewhat easier. Generally, and its still on my blogpage in the form of an old newsletter, the music tends to be soul of black origin-except when it isn’t!, from the 40’s to the 90’s, and hooks a lot around sample culture. From Bebop to Hip Hop. End of explanation!
This session was the third, I had been involved in as part of a “3 is the magic number” series at the bar, involving the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday each month, and the first one where all three sessions were busy. Thursday was the Mighty AC,with his TRACKS and GROOVES (Playlists on its facebook page), Friday could not have been more different with some great live neo soul hip hop, and then the trip to round off the three (this being my 300 th. involvement with a night at the bar over the last 9 years).
It was great to see many regulars in, plus Pete and Marleen all the way from Swindon, and birthday boy ! mr. newitt.
If you do not belong already please join the afroba FACEBOOK group to be kept informed of some exciting droog changes coming to the bar, starting in February. BCNU-Hopefully/Jim

TRIP 24/12/11

The TRIP with vintage vinyl, Session 81, at the afroba, reading. Playlist for the Christmas Eve special-24/12/11, plus a few extras. More playlists at www.jimz.biz and details on the afroba facebook page.
Well I had a feeling this was going to be a mellow one and it was with a very quiet bar, which was expected, as everyone went a little mad the night before at the afroba Christmas party. Also it was the third session in as many nights, and I only played for four and a half hours instead of the usual five and a half. On Thursday it was tracks and grooves-playlists on its facebook page-and the night before the party mentioned above, with Chris, Tim, and Kirsten guest d j’ing, and the human Christmas gift wrapping competition-photos on the afroba facebook page. At the end of the Saturday playlist are a few tunes turntabled the night before, except I wish I could have listed more of Tims, if only he had written them down! Chris’s rare groove set was a delight, which he must do again, and Kirsten proved there are not enough female d j’s on the scene. Talking of which, Friday saw quite a few local faces on the scene popping in and it was great to see them. The next session is on JANUARY 28th, with TRACKS AND GROOVES two nights before, with hopefully some news of extra sessions. BCNU-Jim.
