Fizz setlist 01/05/2009

I had the early set at Fizz last night, the first Fizz since New Year's Eve. As usual, the sound system had been deviously meddled with, so that the music sounded like it was being played out of a ghetto blaster at the other end of a subway tunnel. I spent the first 45 minutes of my set trying to troubleshoot the problem, and eventually had to stop the music for a few minutes as the manager and I re-arranged cables. Turns out that the main input cables had been plugged into the amplifier for the sub-woofers. Once I got the technical stuff under control, this set went pretty smoothly.

If you want to hear more, I'm djing at Big City Swing's First Friday dance, this coming Friday.
