Blowoff 10/30/2004: Angry DC Queers Demand Morel "In a Fix" remix
Cast of Characters: Chris, Eric, Brian, John, Bob Mould, Richard Morel, with special guest appearance by Crisafer
Halloween Eve pulsated through the walls of the back bar at the 9:30 club with a vibe that can only be described (by Eric) as "dirty in a good way." Musclebears lined the walls like the greatest hits collection of the DC Eagle exposing tatoos, nipples, and various other bric-a-brac. Both familiar and obscure melodies hovered like banshees swirling through the room expertly mixed and exhorcised as appropriate. The most surprising and refreshing aspect of Blowoff is the diversity and the uniqueness of the music being played. One minute Orbital was blasting, followed by some heavy metal ditty melding into a house mix of Steve Winwood's "Valerie." As demi-host, Bob scittered around when not busy behind the DJ booth making sure that everyone felt welcome and enjoyed themselves.
And now for the disappointment:
Oddly left from the evening was Morel's remix of Bob Mould's themesong to the hit TLC home improvement show, "In a Fix." (If you don't believe me, check out the credits at the end of the show.) Okay, so the remix probably doesn't exist, but shouldn't it?
The night ended too early for me as my guests Chris and Eric from Pittsburgh wanted to leave. In retrospect, it was probably the right time to make an exit. Can't wait for the next one on November 13.
