GOOD MUSIC PEOPLE
Record shopping with the DJs of Bad Music for Bad People
I
t doesn’t take long before we’re arguing the relative
merits of vinyl records versus other formats.
“Buddy Holly, I don’t want to hear it polished,” says
Ian Chastain.
Chastain is one of a trio of DJs I’m talking with,
including Dawn Baby and Jen Drake, at — where else? —
Skip’s Records and CD World in West Eugene.
We’re talking about Bad Music for Bad People, an all-
vinyl DJ night hosted every first Friday at Luckey’s Club
downtown.
“You want to hear the crackles and pops,” Chastain
continues.
“That’s the warmth of it,” adds Dawn Baby.
The three friends came to deejaying differently: Dawn
Baby had a radio show, Drake is known for deejaying at
the wildly popular ’80s Night and Chastain from his career
at a record store (he works at Skip’s) and a chronic habit
of buying records.
I’m told Luckey’s asked the trio to come together for a
monthly garage, soul and rockabilly night. “It’s the dream
team,” Baby says. “Our music merges really well.”
“It’s a rock ‘n’ roll night,” Chastain continues, but ev-
erything gets played — from Alvin & the Chipmunks to
Motley Crue.
Drake usually plays rock. “Because I can’t compete
with the soul goddess,” she adds, referring to Dawn Baby.
“We’re kind of each other’s own biggest fans,” she con-
tinues. “Whatever these two throw on makes me so happy.”
Each DJ has a different way to prepare for the night. “I
grab three boxes of whatever I’m interested in that day,”
Dawn Baby reveals. “You read the crowd and see what
happens.”
I ask if people dance. “You kind of start out slow, play-
ing what you want,” Baby responds, “and then you try
and build it up so by the end everybody’s drunk, and then
there’s dancing.”
“When I put on the original Gloria Jones ‘Tainted
Love,’” Chastain explains, “people start dancing.”
What’s common among all the DJs is a love of music
as well as record collections that take up entire rooms in
their homes.
They buy records several times a week, and Dawn
Baby occasionally goes to Portland to shop because she
frequently taps out the Eugene market on her favorites:
soul and rockabilly.
“You want to share your collection,” Chastain says. “I
don’t want to sell my collection, but I could share it.”
“I always wanted to be in a band, and I could never play
an instrument,” Dawn Baby admits, so she thought, “I can
play records!”
It doesn’t take long before we’re back to talking about
the audio quality of vinyl. “Tommy Iommi’s guitar tone,”
Chastain says, “is so different on vinyl than it is on CD.”
He then cracks a smile, adding: “I know we’re nerdy.”
The next edition of Bad Music for Bad People is 10 pm Friday, Sept. 7, at Luck-
ey’s Club; $3, 21-plus.
