    Considering the state of Seb's Chiefy when you started on it, that is in SUCH great nick now.

    I want to hear those bad boi BOSE pounding out a tune or 7.... Greenday - any off the American Idiot album, Bob Seger - Silver Bullet Band any song would do, but Like A Rock, Roll Me Away, Night Moves, Against The Wind (beautiful song) or ultimate song Turn The Page (TUUUNNNNE), Journey - Don't Stop Believin, or dance tunes Juanes - Camisa Negra, Gigi D'Agostino - L'Amour Toujours (has to be live version), Gigi D'Agostino - Bla Bla Bla, Gillette - Short Dick Man (rude & VERY bassy which will test your amps), Haddaway - What Is Love, Real McCoy - Another Night, London Boys - London Nights, Patrick Cowley ft Sylvester - Menergy (80's gay anthem, but WHAT a tune). There is so much music out there, and as a DJ it's a hard choice. But there is always the same old tat played over & over that you forget (or want to....) so you should get a summer evening BBQ and play some tunes. Love the mechanical stuff too, seeing as how I am a mechanic ,more than I am a DJ. All the best. Andi.
