Skool Dayz – officially more massive than the Twin Towers (er… pre–9/11, obviously).

"Whoo-ha!", as Busta Rhymes once said.

So Skool Dayz was as much of a riot as Ed & I had hoped – completely sold out with only a few tickets on the door, with the place rammed to capacity and everyone well up for it. Definitely as much fun to DJ as last week's Welcome Party, and at least this week we weren't falling over by the end of it. Best bits of the evening: seeing the whole marketplace bounce in unison to House of Pain and Blink-182, the blatantly ridiculous "Vengamix", and of course the wonderful Tiffany (who is officially not as much of a M.I.L.F. as we'd initially predicted, and still has it after all these years). Probably should've played "Gay Bar" as the last song over "Danger! High Voltage", mind, but you live and learn.

FUN FACT: While The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" has been banned by the Equal Opps Working Group in the Students Union (a ridiculous decision given that firstly it's a superb tune, and secondly if you ban it on the grounds of offensive lyrics then surely you have to take out at least half the records played at Soul Nation), the only record to have been banned by the actual Ents Department is none other than 3 Of A Kind's lamentable "Babycakes".

The reason?

[Genuine quote from Ents representative]: "We didn't pay thousands of pounds for a top-of-the-range PA system to have that come out of it".

The moral: don't ask for that shit in future because not only will we not play it, we're actually not allowed to! And thank Christ for that, frankly…
