The Vinyl Countdown # 203
Donald Byrd, Black Byrd / Slop Jar Blues [Single] (1973) The guy in the shop goes, “oh mean, you got some DJ sets coming up?” And I said, “Nah, I just want to play this at home”. Cool story, bro. Yeah, I know. But I can see how buying a single by Donald Byrd might […]Archive

Playlist: DJ Set from the Spines Dreamboat Launch
Last Saturday, November 23, I played some records at the San Fran as part of the Spines’ Dreamboat album launch. One of the very few times I’ve played any records out in public this year actually. And it was a lot of fun. A great night. And based on the setlist from that night I’ve pulled together […]Archive

Stubs: # 240 – Cuba Dupa, Wellington, 2015
Give me a name-tag and I’ll hide it. Lanyards. They go in my pocket. Backstage passes…even more cringe. And something with “VIP” on it. FUCK OFF! But – as you can see – I hold onto this shit. I keep the lanyards along with the ticket-stubs; I haven’t kept every single one, but a few […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman, December 28, 2018
Most years between Christmas and New Year’s I do a wee DJ set at the San Fran, our way of letting the people know the bar’s open again in the lead up to Bill E’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza. It’s a low-key thing. Summer tunes. Usually “Kiwi BBQ” is the theme, this year I decided […]Archive

Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman: DJ Set (Friday, Dec. 28, 2018)

Down to Christchurch overnight for a good mate’s 40th – and was doing the DJing too… A lot of 1980s and 1990s things, bit all over the shop, trying to find the various sweet spots… Hmm, here it is:Archive

Playlist: Funky Summer (Vol. 1)
It was meant to be a DJ set in the summer sun but the rain kicked in that afternoon, a storm, add to that it was the very start of the year and people were looking for any excuse not to be out, a thunderstorm being just perfect. So I played a bunch of tunes […]Archive
