I miss those days at Revolver, this recurring Friday night party I used to go to from 2000 up to 2005 (I think) where I listened and danced to retro classics from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and good tunes from this decade. This blog is an homage to those good ol' days. I wonder what Josh, the creator of that wonderful extravaganza of musical delights is doing nowadays? He was so creative and dynamic getting all those DJ's, musicians and other artists together. What was the door-guy's name??? Oh, what I especially miss are the brave people who wore outrageous outfits, especially that guy who showed up one night in a cow costume. Yeah, you read that right -- a cow costume, and no, it was not Halloween. I miss getting dressed up in wacky outfits too. And there was my favorite DJ, Alex. He was my musical soulmate, I'm pretty sure of it.
Oh, Revolver, where art thou ??? You'll always be in my heart, dear Revolver... (OK, I may be having a mid-life crisis. LOL.)
I hope someone enjoys these tunes from days of old. I included some tunes that might be played at Revolver now, if it were to exist today. Enjoy, whoever you are, wherever you are...
