a trailer, a movie, a gig, and a dj set from me

so, this is the trailer for a film about glasgow band quinn, who discovered they were highly popular in the war-torn land of serbia, went there, played a few gigs, and found life could never be quite the same again. this friday 3rd february the film of the trip is showing at the east kilbride arts centre, after which there will be a set from quinn themselves, then a dj set from yours truly. hey, the 'rebirth' continues apace!

actually, it was through an earlier incarnation of the band that i first started djing, after plaguing bal (the drummer/producer) for months. he had a pair of shady belt drive turntables and a mixer, and i had the records and the arrogance to think i could beat-match on them. several years and further collabos in such salubrious spots as galashiels, dundee and perth later, and we're still working together ... beautiful.

after feeling like i got a bit too thugged out at the last quinn film showing, it may be time to indulge in a bit more of a freestyle set, perhaps sequencing some kind of tribute to the great rock pioneers of east kilbride - the jesus and mary chain, early primal scream, eh ... well, surely that's enough for any small town. but given i'm doing the last slot, there may be pressure to try and keep people in the building. dammit...
