Build-Your-Own DANCE PARTY

[snurri]

Will likely not be online much today, or the next couple of days, as I will be training my replacement at the temp job. Funny thing about being a temp is that sometimes you end up being the only one who knows how to do certain things in the office, which is just a really bad idea all around. But whatever.

The point is: DANCE PARTY. Yes. Sarah P. and I are having a joint book release party on Saturday at WisCon, complete with beer and chocolate martinis, and after the back-patting is all done, there will be madness. So I am putting together a mix, and this is the post where I will take your requests. Rules: If you are going to WisCon, I will honor at least one of your requests, assuming that they aren't so obscure that I can't get my hands on them or so horrible that I can't bear to listen to them. If you aren't going to WisCon and you want to dance vicariously through us, I will take your requests under advisement. DON'T GO CRAZY PEOPLE. I've already got plenty of good stuff in mind, and it's not as if we're going to be dancing for hours and hours. For one thing, the hotel won't let us.

Please note that if you request bad music, I cannot guarantee that you will not be mocked. SUCH IS LIFE.

Later on, lovelies.

By-Tor and the Snow Dog.

"Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight The netherworld is gathered in the glare ..." Oh, yeah, baby.

Great song. BUT CAN YOU DANCE TO IT?!?

[stephanieburgis.livejournal.com]

Nena's 99 Luftbalons! You know you have to!

(Mock if you will. I feel no shame!)

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I will not mock. Are you hoping to see Ben perform it two nights in a row?

[silk-noir.livejournal.com]

I support this.

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I just blogged this, too.

Hee!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Par-tay!

[silk-noir.livejournal.com]

Can I just send you a CD? The song I want is Flo-Rida's "Low," btu the version I'm hearing on the radio is not as good as the one I lifted and burned off iTunes.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, I can probably find it on iTunes. Unless you are impugning my iTunes skillz, in which case you better step. Off.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Would that be the version featuring T-Pain?

Free Your Mind...

[wheatland-press.livejournal.com]

Any funk'll do.

Re: Free Your Mind...

[snurri.livejournal.com]

This is my attitude as well.

[giantsloth.livejournal.com]

I will make it easy on you, and request "Bust A Move."

Now, about these so-called "chocolate martinis," ahem. A-hem.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Um, how about "alcoholic chocolate-flavored beverages served in a (plastic) stem cocktail glass"?

[bondgwendabond.livejournal.com]

Don't be a fasctini.

[silk-noir.livejournal.com]

HEY WHOSE DANCE PARTY IS THIS

Grumble grumble.

I've got the Beck, but I have to nix the css; that song got old reeeeeally fast. There will be much Prince. Will look into the rest.

[colonelrowe.livejournal.com]

I like that Steve Wonder version of We Can Work it Out that somebody was playing a couple of years ago.

Ditto Meghan on the Prince.

Actually, ditto Meghan's whole list.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Stevie and Prince are kind of my anchors, so they'll be there.

I'm not sure about the WHOLE list, but.

[bondgwendabond.livejournal.com]

URAQT (trash dance mix by iaas) by M.I.A.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

OK, done.

[silk-noir.livejournal.com]

Er, will there be slow dancing "what happens at WisCon stays at WisCon" segments?

[megmccarron.livejournal.com]

[tacithydra.livejournal.com]

Enya vs. prodigy (Slap my bitch up) Mash (Lenlow edit)

Drums and Drumlins, from Different Drums of Ireland, or Beggerman on the Dohl. I promise they are danceable, and I will provide whichever one you chose. puh-LEASE?

Do not I did NOT submit a list like SOME OTHER PEOPLE.

[haddayr.livejournal.com]

Or "clappy reels!"

Suffice it to say, I submit one rock/Irish trad fusion song with is teH danceable fully I swear to GAWD.

[kelly-swails.livejournal.com]

Hi! I came here via sarah_prineas. I will be at WisCon and I love me the dance. Here are some suggestions (and I am completely open to ridicule):

Stronger by Kanye West
Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) by Big and Rich
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
Yeah! by Usher
Hot in Herre by Nelly
Dancing Queen by Abba
YMCA by Village People

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Jeez, everybody's songs are so cool (I've never heard of any of them = cool).

Here's what I want. "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang.
