Ep. 242 - Alexandrea J. Ravenelle

For about two years, I did a Thursday party driven by requests.  The gimmick was that I would play requests as live mashups. I left a notebook next to my turntables, and encouraged people to write down ANYTHING. A bunch of friendly regulars decided to try and kill me the first week by coming up with songs that they thought couldn't be mixed. This was my first attempt the evening before the event.
