Guilty Pleasures at AAI 9th of March, 2011

Well I had a ball DJing at the Guilty Pleasures event at AAI. Nine DJs got together to outdo each other by playing those songs they like but normally wouldn't or just songs that would elicit a reaction.

Well I mixed it up a bit and included some fun telly themes from children's shows.  Odd covers are a stock-in-trade for me and the Gypsy Kings doing Hotel California went over really well.

It was only one hour each so it was a tight squeeze to fit tracks in. Here's what I played in order.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think.
