Cyndi Lauper: She’s So Unusually Great!
When I was young I liked Cyndi Lauper. Well, I liked some of the songs when they appeared on the radio. I liked She-Bop; I can remember it going round and round on a C-90 cassette tape that I was given along with my first tape-player (after my parents’ first overseas trip). The C-90 was bunged in […]Archive

Playlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women In Music (DJ Set)
Last week I played a bunch of records in a bar, only songs by or featuring women. I’d done it earlier in the year and it was time for another run. A pretty cool set of songs I reckon. So I decided to share them with you just as I did with the earlier DJ […]Archive

DJ Setlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women in Music, San Fran, Friday, July 28, 2017
The first She-Bop was earlier in the year and it was time to do it all again, same-same, but different – some of the same songs obviously, plenty of the same artists but lots of other things too, different things. It was a cold, cold night, but it was warm within. A nice gang came […]Archive

Playlist: She-Bop (DJ Set)
Earlier in the year I played a DJ set called She-Bop – it was simple really, just play a bunch of tunes by or featuring women. It was a great night – from slow, low-key beginnings to a big, long, loud party… Well, I’m doing it all again with She-Bop 2 so thought I’d share the […]Archive

She-Bop 2 –The Best Tunes From The Best Women in Music: DJ Set
Earlier in the year I threw together a bit of a last-minute idea and it was a ripper – we had a good old time, lots of cool music so we’re doing it again. Only songs from women lead singers – solo artists, bands – we’re talking Fleetwood Mac and Blondie and B-52s, but also […]Archive

DJ Setlist: She Bop – All The Best Tunes From The Best Women Making Pop Music, San Fran, Friday, January 27, 2017
It was an idea – thrown together at the last minute in the end (well, I’ve wanted to do a DJ set of all women artists, and mostly 1980s) but a gap in the schedule needed filling, so I was called up to throw something together. It was a long-haul set too 7pm-2am, so it […]Archive

Five Songs For Friday: # 6 – Five Female Artists With Songs That Made Me Go ‘Wow’
Tonight I’m playing a bunch of records down at the San Fran – all female artists, mostly a 1980s set I reckon, but I have a few things that spill out either side, so we’ll see where the night goes… So in honour of that – and the amazing PJ Harvey show earlier this week […]Archive

She-Bop – All The Best Tunes From The Best Women Making Pop Music: DJ Set
I’m a fan of the 1980s – I’m sure I’ve made that known plenty of times. So for a slight twist on an 80s DJ night I’ve decided to feature only the women. Solo artists, duets, lead singers in bands, cameos – it’s all about the female voice and those soaring anthems and power ballads […]Archive
