Pete's Music Taste

Yet more self-indulgent wibblings, though my excuse is that since I'm a DJ people might actually be interested. Maybe. One thing to bear in mind is that the music I play in my clubs doesn't necessarily reflect my personal taste. Though at present there's a hell of a lot of good stuff around - Interpol, Foals, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire etc - which means that the stuff I'm playing is quite often stuff I like. Which is nice.
