Random musical chat.

Husker Du taught them everything they know.

Bob Mould - leg.

[The Golden Eel]

I don't mind Oasis, especially DM and the B-sides album but they're nothing special in the grand scheme of things

[TheHowieLama]

In the real world people rarely discuss the merits of Oasis.

[NoelM]

Unless they are stranded in a desert.

Bob Mould - leg.

 

Yep.  He proved that it was ok to be chubby and gay to be a pop star.  Oh, hang on, Boy George got here first.

Even then it is a waste of time.

[Adebisi]

If you still don't like Radiohead after listening to this song.. 

Fair one, they're probably just not for you. Personally, Greenwood gave me a semi in this song. 

[Adebisi]

Thought I'd post in here rather than create a new thread. Anyone know their disco/pop fancy pointing me in the direction of some old school bangers? Me and my mate are in the process of putting on our own night, but we've come to the realisation we don't know enough songs that will get the booties shaking. 

- Good thread though. I will post some general chit chat soon.

Shakey Ground by The Temptations. Loving that song just now.

Not trying to be rude here mate, but how the hell can you expect to DJ at a club night if you don't know your tunes? That's a bottom line fundamental of DJing; more important than mixing, even.

[PestiRed]

Just bang a Donna Summer album on and go to the bar

[Carvalho Diablo]

Hahahahaha. Really has made me laugh out loud.

[TheHowieLama]

Donna Summer Radio - Pandora - done.

I shall check them out. Cheers ears.

Well the original idea was me and him would cover the guitar based stuff and our mate would cover the electronic and hip hop side of things, but now he's leaving the area and we actually did some market research and it seems like the 20somethings actually want some pop, disco and funk in there too. Who'd have funk it. 

 

We just wanted to do a night that appealed to us and our friends, but then the guy that owns the venue said we can have the second floor to play around with to and we had a brainstorm and decided we wanted a room where the people could dance and a room where people could sit about stoned if they so desired and just listen to ace guitar based music. Our mate leaving town has left us in a bit of a pickle because while we (at least think) we know songs that will get people moving, we dunno if we've got 3-4+ hours worth of the stuff. We've decided we're not going to launch until 2015 though so it gives us plenty of time to sort or/and draft someone in. 

[kalasoma]

His last album, The Man, was fantastic.  

 

I had to listen to that last night. Twice in fact.

[kalasoma]

Yep.  He proved that it was ok to be chubby and gay to be a pop star.  Oh, hang on, Boy George got here first.   

 

Elton John surely beat them to it.

There was a pretty good thread on the other site with links to a bunch of old school funk band tracks - I just tried to search and it doesn't come up.

 

Get your hands on the first three Chic records.

[cloggypop]

Adebisi, you might be better off sticking to the music you genuinely love and understand. Much less chance of being shite.

[TheHowieLama]

Agreed - but there is zero chance of anyone thinking Chic is shite.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just grabbed a dozen Scott Walker albums, looking forward to giving them a blast over the next week or so.

 

Thankyou Mighty GF.

Sort of related, but anyone read 'Hit Men' by Frederic Dannen? Stories about all the recreational drugs going around during the disco era won't be a surprise. But it was a fascinating read about payola, how deals were done, and all the other shady goings on between labels and artists.

[stringvest]

Even Steven Hawking will want to be dragged round the dance floor to C'est Chic

It is the one about Yetnikoff?

He fuckin leads when they drop the needle on Bernard Edwards' playing on Good Times.
