....Special report from certified-homie Hayden Bagot....
Hayden from Flying Turns here. We caught a DJ performance from Woolfy last year during SXSW that left us throttled. He completely stole the show and then got off the decks to drink and dance with us while his label-mates on DFA records pushed on further into disco-house territory. We woke up the next day in pieces but knew we had to bring back the man who has killed parties, released on popular labels (DFA, Rong, and Permanent Vacation), and performed his records with a touring live band to do the business to Austin again. In anticipation of the party this weekend (and because I could) we had a quick Q and A session.
H: Let's pretend you are boxing for the title against George Foreman, What song do you pick to play while you walk out to the ring?
W: This is a very good question Hayden, for me I would choose "tomorrow" from the Annie soundtrack; there's nothing like a good show-tune before an ass whooping. For George I'd choose "Lean On Me" cause that's all he ever did in the ring.
H This is not your first time in Texas, do werewolves prefer Austin's tacos or barbeque?
W: Bar-b-que for sure. I want my baby back baby back baby back ribs. That works for the first question but it would of gone, I want my ribs back baby . . .
H What's your favorite piece of musical equipment and why?
W: My classical guitar, it releases a lot of demons for me; it also cooks me dinner, sends heart warming texts and is a big fan of Dexter.
H: The hard-drive with all your recordings on it crashed last year, have you been busy writing new material?
W: That was definitely a hard time for me, but I took it in stride. I thought I'd be writing make-up to break-up love songs due to my divorce, but it started a new genre of music; post angst computerism. The name of the album;s called KILL KRAFTWERK.
H Do you have any plans in the works to tour the Woolfy Band soon?
W: A lot of offers have come my way recently, but my main man (keyboardist) Dan's band ORGONE is blowing up right now and to start from scratch is a tall order. Chemistry's a fine art in the music biz, Match.com anyone?
H: Your release on Whatchawannado is under the name Sir Woolfy. How did it feel being knighted by the queen?
W: It was humiliating. They made me wear a Tudor wig and used a plastic sword. Sean Connery and McCartney were laughing during the whole ceremony, bastards.
H: What is the strangest thing you've ever been asked in an interview? and how did you respond?
W: See question 1.

Space/Time 001
Hey there bloggermaniacs, I've missed you. I've got a few epic posts I've been sleeping on, mainly a review of the Kanye record, but in the meantime here's a mix my DJ homies and I put together.

Mothafucka i'm ill
I usually hate on Traktor, mainly because it's the DJ software that doesn't require peripheral hardware and therefore can easily be pirated by anybody whose peers deem cool enough to get tapped as a DJ, but don't want to put in the effort/money to actually learn how it's done. That said, Craze totally kills it on their controller.
BONUS:
Dude juggles with his elbows better than 99% of DJs do on their best behavior.

2009 Wrap-up
In hindsight 2009 was a very long year.
Last New Year's Eve seems like ages ago. I played in the First Night parade for the first show of the Minor Mishap Marching Band. I really wanted to play Fela Kuti songs though and they didn't want to stray from the Klezbah stuff, so we parted ways. After that parade we rung in the New Year at the 360 overlook then made my way to the Space Cave (RIP) for a freakish dance party.
The X-Rays were really picking up steam early in the year, culminating in 6 or 7 SXSW shows. Found this video posted on the youtubes by some guy named SpikedPunchEddy.
Can't forget about the Toughen Up 2k9 Tour with Spiked Punch. Look, I had a beard!
And oh yeah, I produced a hip-hop record. The follow-up is on the way shortly, but I wouldn't expect a show anytime soon. I was initially trying to sell the physical copies of this but I've give up so if you want one let me know, they're free as a bird.
Diamond Minds - Cavalier
There were some epic DJ nights here and there. Halloween on the Lamar Bridge and the afterparty and the super-secret Dobie Theatre blow-out are the two highlights to me. Airport Bar was also up there, so much fun while it lasted. There was one great night at Back Alley Social. The Shapes/Valentine/Schwausch b-day bash was also sweet. Shout-outs to Birds Barbershop for letting me hang out and drink lonestars every week, as well as Ranch 616 for feeding me so well and letting me wear out my disco-edits.
Live at Birds Mix
Oh, and let's not forget that this meager blog is now almost at 600 posts, even if the last 10 or so have been UT sport-related. Here's to another great year of Casavista blogosphere domination.
