Grinding isn't dancing though, unless you consider lapdancing dancing. Maybe kids today aren't going to bother with cool sixties styles (by the way, those Land of 1000 Dances sound like they'll be great) but maybe showing Grease and Footloose to teenagers isn't a bad idea. The problem though is that they don't want to listen to anything besides monotonous Jay-Z music. DammitDave said:

Schools banning lesbians and grinding!?! Have we learned nothing from Footloose? Actually I've never seen it. Maybe it's closer to Dirty Dancing? Flashdance? Fame...umm...Some Kind Of Wonderful? All not seen by me so I'm taking wild guesses here.

Grease? By the way, re: the subject of this discussion, get these comps: Land of 1000 Dances Vol. 1 Land of 1000 Dances Vol. 2 DammitDave said:

this is one trend that i would really love to see come back into popular culture! kids these days are too cool to dance, when it used to be that you were sooooo uncool if you didn't know how to dance! watching a group of people line up and dance to "the stroll" at a throwback doowop show was one of the best things i've ever SEEN!

Another thing that spawned this is my brother made me a comp with two tracks that may or may not have been titled: "Hully Gully Time" and "Let's Do the Hully Gully." These are both pretty damned cool instrumentals with the occasional vocal lines thrown in (titles). I feel these were thrown together in the studio and enhanced with genuine fake live crowd background noise (which was the style of the time).

Supercharger are geniuses. They just play bad.

Supercharger, I second that. I skip that crap every time on lastfm kopper said:

well before I saw this I would say Graffiti Island but this is more painful to listen to.

They'd probably say the same thing about a lot of garage punk bands. I'd have to say, however, that they are indeed the STUPIDEST band on the planet.

i tottally understand, and perscribe to that view. but you made realized what i was really talking about. there is a moment in life, specially when we are very young, and you haven't listened or seen so many stuff, and you can trully think somethings as amazing and the best ever. i still remember what i used to think was the best guitar player, or the best riff, the best five seconds in a song, etc because there is sort of a mythological feeling around those people and those sounds that makes you feel that those minutes were just untouchable.

You keep me hangin' on- Vanilla Fudge

I can't pick my favorite band, album, song, or even genre. I've never been able to do that. It's just too difficult and I don't view music in that way. Every day can be different, every mood can produce a different result. One song can be perfect for one situation or instance but terrible for another. It's like asking what your favorite food or movie is. If you can seriously narrow it down to just one, then you're not living life to the fullest. That's my two cents, anyway.

Yeah, true, of all time won't work for me, it changes too often. This weekend it definitely was "Mella Mella" by The Woggles.

I, too, find it impossible to pick one favorite, but most of the music I listen to would probably not exist if not for the Kinks' You Really Got Me, so I'll say that.

Just one?
It changes every month.
Today it is O.B.I.T by the Hex Dispensers.

Red Headed Woman - Panther Burns

yeah, it's hard
i've always flerted with the idea of "my favorite"
search for that feeling of "HOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLYYY SHIIIIIIIIIT"

Slade is awesome.

And I honestly can't pick just one all-time favorite, that's such a hard thing to do for me! :D

Mine is:

haven't seen it yet but that's bizarre!

after listening to the chorus now I recognize that commercial.

I was mindlessly watching TV last night (I think it was MSNBC) when I saw a Lenscrafters commercial come on that was using a Hunx & His Punx song. I thought I was dreaming, so I went back and watched it again (thank god for DVR) and yup, sure enough, Hunx & His Punx!

Pretty sure it was this song:



Can't find the commercial on the Web, though. Anyone else?

Well...I guess in my opinion, a DJ isn't going to get anyone to buy a ticket like a band would. DJ's and bands are kind of apples and oranges. I wouldn't take it personal, it's easier to just turn the offer down if it's not doable.
