Music is My Boyfriend #5 playlist @ Bar 107

Last night was another brilliant night. It was totally packed all night. There was a lot of people in downtown la all night. Many of my friends didn't show up. Only about ten people of the inner circle were there. Greg, who I went to high school with, was there. He is friends with the owner of Bar 107. This was the first night with me and Candice DJ - ing together. It was really fun. People started getting into it when I played "Mr Big Stuff" and Annie. And again when DJ Queen of Clubs played ACDC. There was serious dancefloor action. At 145am there was still 35+ drunk people who wouldn't leave. Anyway, here is the fifth edition of MIMBF:

The songs:

Roxy Music "Virginia Plain/Do The Strand" soundcheck
ELO "Turn To Stone"
Gary Numan "Airlane"
LCD Soundsystem "North American Scum"
David Bowie "Cracked Actor"

Then DJ Queen of Clubs came on and whipped the people into a frenzy. She played a mix of dirty disco and new wave and heavy rock. The senses were overloaded. She played some of my records including:
