Catch up

Hello! I’ve neglated this blog since I moved to Zürich at the end of May, which is now three months ago. I almost had a very good reason as I’ve been working on a large post for weeks now covering advertising, capitalism and ‘the death of desperate’.

However, I got all tied up in my pseudo-analytical nonsense and so it still remains unfinished. Therefore I come to you with nothing, but this simple apology and a couple of snippets of personal news.

- Spoiled Milk have launched their new identity and website: www.spoiledmilk.dk

- Spoiled Milk Zweigniederlassung (the Swiss foreign branch) is now up and running and recruiting for iPhone and Ruby on Rails developers (More information). Andreas will be joining us at the start of September.

- I am now settling into a new Swiss life at Klingenhof in Zürich with Lucy. It’s very nice being here with her. Our first few months are mainly pictorially documented at Flickr.

- I will be DJ’ing for the first time in Zürich on Friday, 26th of September at Abart before and after The Futureheads play.

- I will be in Berlin from the 1st to the 4th of September for RailsConf. Let me know if you’re attending too.

I promise to return soon with some more rambling posts, in the meantime my Twitter is probably where I’m writing the most.

DJ superteam to play Kalaset

Russell Quinn — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 16:53:04 +0000

Normally DJ superteams consist of talented people working together to make music intended to enhance nights out of the house with intriguing rhythms, samples and beeps. Birds of Paradise are a little different because they play other people’s music and some of it is sad. However, they do try to play it in a nice order and include songs to clap along to.

Lucy and Russell’s first joint performance will be this Friday, the 4th of January, from 22:00 to 02:00 at Kalaset.

Goldfish

Russell Quinn — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:17:08 +0000

I’m just about to head out to a kom som en der er død (come as something dead) Halloween fancy dress party. I’m not particularly into vampires or zombies so I decided to go as Sugar, my goldfish from when I was a child. He was the only pet I’ve owned, but I loved him dearly.

Setlist

Russell Quinn — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 17:53:41 +0000

Last night’s DJ set at Café Salonen was fun, cute and very hyggelig, despite many people I know attending the screening of Sigur Rós’ new tour documentary instead. But with only a small venue, no dancing and not a cocktail in sight, I was able to play lots of songs that wouldn’t usually find their way out on a Friday night. It was particularly nice to be asked many times for the names of artists I was playing, especially during the more melancholy part of the evening :)

Anyway I told some people that I would post up a setlist, so here is what I can remember. They are listed alphabetically because going through my CDs in that order is how I just re-compiled the list. The actual order on the night was a little more experimental!
