    Correction.

    Arcade Fire/Lionel richie - all night long

    'splosion!

  • Thanks for all the compliments. I don't have any of the records left, but I think Oliver posted a mp3 on his site. It was also on my myfistinyourface blog, but I haven't checked it in a long time, so I have no idea if it's still there. I'm sure someone has it. I can post it if nobody beats me to it. I'm almost 100% on my phone for computer Accra, so it may take me a minute to fire up the old Mac mini with the file.

    Doesn't seem to be on Oliver's site anymore, and I can't find it on your blog. Would greatly appreciate a re-post on here!

    I always have the extended 12" of Marvin Gaye "got to give it up" in the wedding crates.

    major cosign.
    Its like the cooler older brother of "celebrate" by KATG and everyone knows it once it gets going.

  • just about any track from "the Chronic" had drunken white people on the floor at a wedding i just attended that was exactly the crowd you will soon encounter.

    It was a backyard party with no obvious dancefloor...so there were clumps of people scattered around dancing throughout the night. My favorite though was playing that George Strait by request for my friend's parents who slow-danced together by the pool and then when I played Dancing in the Moonlight next, they danced on the diving board.

  • Sounds fuckin'.. magical. I logged that playlist.

    Some indie dance, rock, random classics

    Chromeo - Tenderoni
    Cut Copy - Far Away (Hercules & Love Affair Remix)
    Cut Copy - Saturdays
    Jamiroquai - Little L (and others)
    LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House (and others)
    Bob Dylan - Most Likely Go Your Way (Mark Ronson Remix)
    Mike Snow - Animal
    Modest Mouse - Float On
    Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (bladerunners has an edit of this)
    Spoon - Don't You Evah (Mike 2600 edit)
    Talking Heads
    Killers - All These Things I've Done
    Them - Gloria
    Tune-Yards - Bizness (dunno, depends on the crowd. it's pretty new)
    Beck - Where It's At + New Pollution
    Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeroes - Home ((Phi Unit's Moombahton Remix is cool)
    Yeasayer - Ambling Alp (maybe)

    Some Lauryn HIll and Aaliyah should go over well.

  • Don't forget the soulstrut favorite, Kings of Leon!
