Another Proggy Night

What surprised me most about my first night spinning at the Velvet was the number of people who said to me, "I've never heard this kind of music before." I still don't understand how that's possible, but SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! Therefore it's time to put all the other stuff away and serve up another heaping helping of the whimsical, flamboyant, over-the-top flappery that is progressive rock. This Friday, 7-9pm SL, expect more from the likes of King Crimson, EL&P, Yes, Spock's Beard, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull and much more. I do hope to see you there.

A Llama Says Hello!

My name is Ghosty Kips, and I am the newest addition to the list of great DJs at The Velvet. Well, some people think I'm a great DJ; I'm a bit too modest for all that. I just like doing what I do, and hopefully, you will like it too.

I'll be making my debut with a 2-hour set on Friday, September 27th at 7pm SL time. It somehow ended up that I'll be doing a prog rock set (Longer songs! Less work!), and if all that flourish and flamboyance is too much, I know a bunneh we can affix blame to. But I don't think that'll be necessary. Future sets will likely be more along the lines of what-do-I-feel-like-playing-now affairs (I like everything from EDM, to post-punk, to good old classic rock), and the occasional theme set might happen from time to time.

Anyway, enough babble. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you on Friday, and I hope you enjoy the music I'll bring to The Velvet.
