Last Fri night. Wellington NZ.

I'm DJing a soul/ska night, in the middle of a soul set a guy in his 20s walks in, sits down gets his iphone out, feverishly concentrates on it for a few minutes. Gets up walks up to me.

"Can I make a request?"

Me: "Sure, but I only brought this small box of 45s with me (I had 75 or so & over half were ska), so your success rate might not be all that good"

Looks at iphone

"Do you have Mel Britt "She'll Come Running Back"?

Me: No.

He looks at iphone again.

"Can you play Judy Street "What"?

Me: "Sorry mate, I don't have that"

He looks at his iphone again

"How about - he names some other rare northern 45 I don't have - ?"

Me: "Nope, sorry, I really only brought a small amount of records with me"

He puts his phone in his pocket & walks out.

Maybe I should have packed better records.....

It was weird.
