1. Cool! What kind of records?
Are you using two turntables and mixing between them? I had a friend long time back that did the same thing only with a partner that had the same set-up. It made for a cool ambient show :D

2. Thanks for asking. Mostly weird music released in the years 1976 - 1983
Two turntables and a mixer, though I won't be doing any fancy mixing. Mostly proto-punk, punk, new wave, etc. In the record pile so far: Magazine, The Slits, Kleenex, Girls at Our Best, Jah Wobble, The Stranglers (of course), Au Pairs, Gang of Four, Gina X, Captain Beefheart.

It will be boring.

3. Maybe boring to perform
but I'm sure the crowd will go Wylde! :D

Got any old Krautrock in there? I've got a Faust album around here somewhere...

4. Some Can!
And also "I Am Damo Suzuki" by the Fall, sort of a weird tribute.

5. I still want a tracklist when you get a chance.
So I can replicate the swag experience in my own home.

6. No Emo?
I think I'm going to go into a corner and cry.

7. Records?
Weird. :)

I hope you have a lot of fun as a DJ.

I had to look twice to see that your image isn't headless. I have to wonder though, what's he looking down upon?

9. It was a lot of fun.
And I learned that if you want to get hit on a lot by good looking gals and guys, play records at a bar.
