This was actually Aphex Twin's inspiration for "Digeridoo"

new examples of fillers ?
some of those coldplay bootlegs, junior jack 'e samba', and, odd but true, at manchester's fashionable 'chips...'last month ; 'a little respect' by erasure.
anyone else ?

Linus Loves new single "The Terrace" is the biggest filler I've heard lately, fucking mental 80s french loop, followed by a long piano breakdown and then the loop just comes in again. I'd imagine it'll be fucking huge.

Killers -- for some reason, Bowie's "Fashion" stands out as a request that not only cleared the floor, but caused the customers to carry a "no dance" grudge for the next few songs...which made me play more shit I wanted to hear, which killed any fun I was having that night.
Surprises -- for some reason, both "Shiny Happy People" and the 12" remix of "Sussudio" did much better than I thought they ever would. Could just be a middle of Michigan thing, however.

Hahaha, it was already topping every european dancechart back then, so that wasn't too difficult. From a UK perspective I also predicted Junior Senior pretty early, but that was also dead easy since it was already getting lots of airplay here.

suprise fillers: i had a nice books/r.ashley mix going that went over pretty well. casiotone for the painfully alone "baby it's you" (DFA Colette mix) with some bird sounds run through G4 and delayed/live roto-tracked during the intro pling plong part brought the house down.

Ambrose, you can't be talking about 'Opposites Attract', surely?

Cornelius' 'Ball-In Kick Off' nearly killed it for me once even though it was mixed into 'Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out' and his remix of Coldcut perplexes everyone but me. Otherwise, I have no other personal killer tales.
