Last night was an interesting nigh at the Beachland. Pop act, Bleachers, had sold out the main room, so the Beachland asked me to throw down some vinyl in the Tavern. It’s something I’ve done many times. I do the jams. The extra bar space gets the venue more money and everyone’s happy. Except this show turned out to be a milk & cookies show, if you know what I mean. The first hundred through the door weren’t old enough to drive a car, let alone imbibe.

Still, any time I get to play jams in the Tavern is a good time. The lack of boozehounds at the bar had some positives, too. Like, no one came up and requested Red Hot Chili Peppers, and multiple Jawbreaker tracks, and ending the night on Pissed Jeans. Every dj set should end with Pissed Jeans, not just my sets, all of them, by every dj, even the ones that play that thing called EDM. “False Jesii Pt 2” is such a banger, the banger to end all bangers.
