OPTIMO PLAYLISTS




Due to overwhelming laziness (seriously, I can't believe the number of people from all around the world who have reminded me how lazy i am!), I will keep updating these playlists only when i can shake myself out of my torpor. Anyway, wouldn't you rather be watching Coronation Street or listening to Fela Kuti rather than checking out what atrocities were played last Sunday?



Saturday September 2nd 2006 (Twitch @ Divine at The Glasgow School of Art)

TWITCH PLAYLIST

I was asked to do a playlist for my set at Divine and seeing as how it was nearly all vinyl, it was quite easy to piece together (though this isn't the order the records were played in). So, I thought I'd post it up here for those who keep asking for playlists).
