Bruno Mars & Bei Maejor) (Villains Remix) Everything is Everything/Phoenix That Kind of Man/The Heavy Drive By/ Ferrari Sounds I am sure I scared everyone when the THX intro sound hit the speakers, because it was so loud. Owls’ hooting, crickets chirping, wolfs howling, cats screaming, organs playing, doors creaking, evil laughter, thunder cracking, wind blowing, and chains dragging start the night off; followed by several old theme songs and Dusty Springfield’s version of Spooky, with a sample from one of my favorite bands; The Whitey Herzogs song The Dog. Landing on 30 seconds of sound effects from the beginning of Monster Mash, I decided to bust the classic rocker to warm up the crowd at The Brick. Slowing bringing in Ted Nugent’s Stranglehold, cued around two minutes in, I thought it was a good fit and it really jams. Eminence Front by The Who rocks on in after Ted with a great sound and the lyrics, well; “Come and join the party dress to kill” have Halloween written all over them. The Grateful Dead’s Golden Road is another song that is talking about getting the party started with the Doobie Brothers and “Blood in the Streets” Peace Frog by The Doors get things going a bit more upbeat. The next song is an electro sounding remix of the Talking Heads Psycho Killer dropping right into Saw Red, a short ska/punk type track by Sublime featuring Gwen Stefani. Always trying to Rep my homies from Decatur, I start heading in a different direction with the Whitey Herzogs song Who put that Donkey on the Dance Floor. Herbie Hancock’s Rockit and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five take it old school for all the breakers, poppers, and lockers. With Scorpio ending, the applause from New Years Eve in Chicago 2009 can be heard to the strumming of Pretty Lights After Midnight Live(recorded live at the Vic Theater in Chicago on 12/31/2009.) What a great song that I knew would be the highlight of the first set. An almost ten minute ripper with samples from The Allman Brothers Midnight Rider, JJ Cale’s After Midnight, and Gift of Gab all mashed up with the dopest beats from Pretty Lights. This song rocked and I know everyone enjoyed it. After rocking everyone out with “one more silver dollar” for ten minutes I knew it was time to play some newer tracks, dropping The Ghost Inside by Broken Bells chilled right into the smoke settling after that last song. Also, at this point Sunday Best is getting ready to take the stage and I wanted to play some songs that sound more like what they will be playing. With so many great new bands and songs I narrowed the end of my set down with La Roux, then B.o.B.’s Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars & Bei Maejor) (Villains Remix) I really love this song ‘Beautiful Girls all over the World” that’s what’s up. This remix version has a really smooth beat that doesn’t get to crazy. Phoenix and The Heavy finish of my set, ending with the Ferrari drive by, I handed over the keys to Sunday Best… Happy Halloween!!!
