Are ya taking the piss or wa?!
Is that still on going? Where else have ya DJ'd? I reckon a s**tty pub with a room and a system would work best esp to begin with cause chances are the kinda of night that I was thinkin of wouldnt pull the biggest of crowds.. then again I could be wrong...?

How about downstairs in the International? If you want s**tty, it's perfect. I found myself there for a bit recently and someone had turntables goin. Capacity of living room though. Prone to invading hordes of hen night females wearing zogabong cocks... What's not to love?

Yea sounds like the spot! Dunno.... thats maybe a little toooooo small. Issac Butts size is pretty cool or somewhere around the size of Anseo - but I think they have their schedual of resident DJ's and nights already.

I like the DJ down there actually... well theres sometimes a different one but the guy that used to do Helter Shelter - again he does play to the crowd but I have to do that in Doyles too. But at the start of the night he usually bangs out some new tunes; Bloc Party, The Arcade Fire et al before they were big. Man even now Whelans rarely plays anything new. Its such a pity cause I like in there.
Maybe I'll slap on some Cabaret Voltaire tomorrow night right after Mr. Brightside just to see the reaction ha!

Have you tried Jack Nealons on capel st. I was at a party upstairs recently and it's a sizeable room that struck me as being suitable for an indie club.
Benni and ch-1, I'd be interested in haring what are your current top ten non-popular dj tunes?

Stuff you like to play but don't because of crowd reaction or lack-of or
just fave new indie tunes.
Anybody been to any of the clubs in the venue in rathfarnham. It sounds interesting but haven't heard good things yet.

Ok.... again like CH1 some are popular but goodies non the less (oh btw i agree with all your choices CH-1 so I'll ommit them from my list!)
Anything by..
The Notwist
The Knife
Blonde Redhead
Arcade Fire
Shellac
Tom Vek
Early stuff by The Rapture
Joy Division - in particular Transmission or She's Lost Control
Talking Heads
Depeche Mode
But I do wanna play more well known stuff too - just not obvious 'singles only' tunes by the likes of say Bloc Party, VU, Bowie, Gang of Four, Interpol etc.
