Shanghaiist Happy Hour II: Play that funky music, white boy

After dozens of tryouts, we have finally selected the DJ for the Shanghaiist Happy Hour, coming up Friday, March 3 at Blue Frog on Tongren Lu. And the winner is ... "The Weasel" ... aka Shanghaiist's own Jeff Jorve (really, his iPod will be spinning all the tracks). Expect an eclectic mix -- and likely several songs with references to ultimate frisbee. To get a better feel for what Jeff-Jorve-the-DJ will be like, check out our top albums of 2005. Here is Jeff's top 20:

1. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
2. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
3. M.I.A. - Arular
4. Gorillaz - Demon Days
5. Edan - Beauty and the Beat
6. LCD SOundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
7. Antony and the Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
8. Bright Eyes - I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning
9. Prefuse 73 - Surrounded by Silence
10. DangerDOOM - The Mouse + The Mask
11. Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better With Franz Ferdinand
12. The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
13. Four Tet - Everything Ecstatic

Feel free to make some requests in the comments section of this post. We can't guarantee that Jeff will oblige, however. (You know how "artists" can be ...).
