8Ball Live from Ghostship 2009

We have a little Thanksgiving treat for you, Friendly Person. The latest installment of the Ghost Ship mixes is from yours truly, 8ball, and lemme tell you, this mix is going to be the perfect compliment for your holiday dining. I don’t want to oversell this, but I think it’s fair to say that if you download this mix and drop it on mom and pop’s stereo at dinner tomorrow you will definitely get their attention. Maybe even in a good way! I know there are a lot of rumors out that about 8ball, and it’s sometimes hard to know what to believe, how to separate the truth from the truthy. So, I’ll take this moment to set the record straight. Yes, I am the longest serving member of Space Cowboys. No, my DJ name is not a drug reference. Yes, it does seem a lot like a drug reference, but I swear it’s not. No, the guy who tried to burn the man a few years back wasn’t listening to Deckless Wonder vol. 3 (on his iPod moments before he did it. Yes, I sharted at BoC and had to play my set and hang out for the rest of the party commando-style. And no, I don’t patrol the crime-ridden streets of San Francisco dolling out justice wearing a mask, a cape, and shirt cocking. Now, where was I… Oh yeah. Here’s my Ghost Ship set. I went with breaks for this party, mainly because it’d been a while since I played a breaksy set. I had a strategy: since the party was called Ghost Ship I had to play “I’m On a Boat” and since it was Halloween I had to play “Thriller”. And I played some other stuff, because if I’d just played those 2 songs for the full hour it might’ve been a little weird. - 8Ball
