i start out with lou reed, "songs for drella" or "death and transfiguration," then move on to the soundtrack from "until the end of the world." when everyone's in the proper mood, i switch over to modern classical stuff, preferring works by john cage and phillip glass. adding to everyones' visual pleasure, i run the dvd of "my own private idaho" on multiple monitors. usually, everybody ends up doing a line or two of prozac before heading back to the half-way house. way fun. -cfb
What's Your Favorite Party Music?
What do you put on when you wanna get people moving? I'm strictly talking high db here. I've worn out some of my old favs and am looking for ammunition for the next big P. Need suggestions to audition.
I'll start out with a few of my old faithfuls. 1) "Showdown" (1985): Albert Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland take turns rifing on the guitar. 2) "Cold Snap" (1986): Albert Collins does the same thing by himself. 3) "Seconds of Pleasure" (1980) by Rockpile, semi obscure effort with Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.4) "In Session" (1999): Albert King w/ Stevie Ray Vaughan, what can you say about those two? 5)"American Music" (1980 rereleased 1997) by The Blasters; really obscure swinging rock party music.
