What can we say about a DJ night with Andy Rourke of the Smiths that this guy didn't? Well, for one, we didn't spill a drink on him and make total asses of ourselves. Instead, we actually maintained some semblance of self respect in spite of our ridiculous obsession with one of the best bands ever...EVAR!

On Friday, December 12th the monthly DJ night, OBSCURA really brought it with this celebrity guest DJ who got everyone moving with super stellar beats by Blur, The Clash, Stereolab and, oh yes, the Smiths.
