Question for you lovely readers.

[xiane]

What songs have you not heard out at a club lately, that you want to hear desperately?



I've been wanting to hear "Wash It Off" by Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, but I know I'm the only one who's gonna play it, and I'm probably going to be the only one who will dance to it. O_o

More Snog! Just as long as I don't play it or I don't bug Randy for fifteen minutes straight to play it.

Dancey Dancey eighties?

[anathemadevice.livejournal.com]

WHOA!!!!! I LOVE that song. Guess we're of that same generation. hehe.

I could stand to hear Pro-Test, off the new Skinny Puppy album, as well.

No one else wants to hear the songs that I desperately want to hear at a club, nor dance to them, even if I picked songs I thought were danceable. So there.

But I thank you for the gift of Cramps. Which is not the same as a gift of cramps, for which I would not thank you at all.

Poop. That's almost not the point. :D
I want to know what people have been dying to hear, in specifics, without any relief. And if I can at all work those songs into sets, I sure as hell will.

And you're welcome! I was thrilled that people actually danced to The Cramps! They danced to The Misfits, too!

[xiane.livejournal.com]

Specifics, woman! I need your wildest dreams sorts of songs. I want to make someone's eyes light up when they hear the beginning notes of that song. Eee! :D

[xiane.livejournal.com]

You gonna come out and dance to it? Hee.

I like that track, too. SP's playing DC tonight, but I'm both too poor and too tired to make the show. Everyone's raved about their tour so far, though!

1) Clan of Xymox - "Obsession (Club Mix)": I heard it *once* at The Dawning, and I was hooked. Mmm...Clan of Xymox <3

2) Happy Mondays - "24 Hour Party People": I dunno...it just makes *me* dance.

3) Imminent/Imminent Starvation - "Tentack One" or "Lost Highway (Exit)": Dance-y powernoise :o)

4) Ladytron - "Discotraxx" or "Playgirl": Someone introduced me and I've been hooked ever since.

5) Any Siouxsie and the Banshees ^_^

6) Joy Division..."Digital"? "Warsaw"? "Ice Age"? "Isolation"?: Maybe they aren't as dancey as I think they are.

7) Switchblade Symphony - "Sweet" (one of the really dancey remixes...)

8) Hee...dance-y 80s ;P I don't *own* much poppy 80s, so I can't give proper suggestions.

I can't really dance, but I promise I'll go swing my arms on the dancefloor or something. Or I'll at least chair dance :P

*turns off the nerd* Okay, I'm done.

[jdavyd.livejournal.com]

youd make my life if i heard "the chauffer"

i know thats not really a fast song.. but still.

[nixer.livejournal.com]

I've yet to find a DJ who had anything by skeletal family

[xiane.livejournal.com]

Got it. Whatchoo wanna hear? *grin*

I play them on Subculture Shock pretty regularly.

[nixer.livejournal.com]

Promised land

[glass-grenade.livejournal.com]

Usually when I see there's only one person on the dance floor, I go out and accompany them. So, feel free. hehe.

There are SO many songs I want to hear that I NEVER hear. And the worst thing is when people are always playing dance remixes of songs when the originals are absolutely WONDERFUL. Arghy. Hmmm, I'll think on it, though, and let you know [I'm sure I could make you an nice long list]. And there can always be more Siouxsie and Peter.

[mimiakemi.livejournal.com]

My wildest dreams can get kinda cheesy.

Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs "Little Red Riding Hood"
David Bowie "Golden Years"
A-Ha "Take On Me"
The Cure "Love Song"
Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

[mimiakemi.livejournal.com]

And umm... I left out the Tiffany and Right Said Fred just for you.

And the worst thing is when people are always playing dance remixes of songs when the originals are absolutely WONDERFUL.

Ahem. Guilty as charged. I wouldn't necessarily see it as the /worst/, on the other hand, I am one of those who play them... ;-)

[oozerooo.livejournal.com]

Um. I'd love to send you some mix CD's of what's going over well here in Hampton Roads...how's that sound?

[krues8dr.livejournal.com]

hows about...
Apotheosis - O Fortuna (aka APB's Love Never Dies)
Bigod 20 - Like a Prayer
Grauzone - Eisbar (original, fuck the remix shit)
The Normal - Warm Leatherette
Kraftwerk - Pocket Calculator
Bjork - Army of Me
Weird Al Yankovic - Germs
Mephiskapheles - Bumblebee Tuna Song
Nena - Nur Getraumt
Lords of Acid - LSD
KMFDM - Thumb Thumb


yeah.. that'll do.

[xiane.livejournal.com]

Good god yes. Wanna trade? There's some stuff gettin' played in Cville that we're not seeing anywhere else... and we should be! :D

[neuphilum.livejournal.com]

Merzbow. Lots of it.

Seriously, though...I'd be ecstatic upon hearing _anything_ by Foetus played. Wash It Off has my vote.

[explodingcat.livejournal.com]

I'd always like to hear things that are wildly inappropriate, like Mr. Bungle. Or maybe a Fantomas song (which I've actually seen in a few set lists when DJ Reverend Fish was in DC). But, a little closer to the acceptable: "Burning Inside" and "Thieves" - Ministry. That ought to scare those crazy kids and their dang synth-pop :)

[orientallilly.livejournal.com]

Give me a song that you want to hear on Monday or that you want me to play on monday. you should totally come out this week. that would rule so much ass!!!

[oozerooo.livejournal.com]

Amen! Um. I'm gonna email you my addy and, if you could do the same I could mail you a CD or two sometime this week/weekend. (I've got a hindu pez show this weekend so it'll probably go out monday)

[oberstgreup.livejournal.com]

(1) Cocteau Twins - Peppermint Pig
(2) Public Image Ltd. - Public Image
(3) Gang of Four - Anthrax (although I'm not sure if it is humanly possibly to sustain a dance to this, I figure it can't be any worse than Bela Lugosi)
(4) The Smiths - There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
(5) Killing Joke - Love Like Blood
(6) Siouxsie - Red Light, Cities in Dust (sure, it used to be overplayed, but when was the last time anyone heard it in Charlottesville?), The Passenger - or you could really blow the kids' minds and give'm Iggy
(7) New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle or Blue Monday- ditto on the once overplayed, now MIA
(8) Echo & the Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar
(9) Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way (long live 80's cheese!)
(10) Björk - Army of Me or anything else

And that's pretty much my standing list of requests for any night I attend. But no one else in Charlottesville would dance to most of them, so I guess don't play them unless everyone looks like they're tired and need a break.

What I would really like is NOT to hear 45 minutes of stompy stompy industrial music and then ONE other song, then 45 minutes of other unrelieved stompy beepy industrial songs and ONE other song, etc. What the hell has happened to the DJs at "goth" nights? Aside from you, it's like the Dawning (and the Richmond nights, from what I hear) has been taken over by Clear Channel and become a rigid, ruthlessly formatted show. I used to (not 15 years ago, five years ago) go to clubs and hear a VARIETY of music, some old school, some new styles, some goth, some industrial, maybe a little trip-hop, some kinda goth-friendly alternative... could anyone like Björk who is not strictly on format conceivably be played anymore? It seems not. Break up the format, break up the tempo, for Goth's sake play some music with lyrics in fucking ENGLISH every hour or two, and let the kiddies learn that there is life outside of strict genre programming.

[oberstgreup.livejournal.com]

You misspelled Björk. ;-)

Wasn't the Apotheosis declared an Unsong and yanked from distribution for all time? Not that every DJ on the planet didn't already have it...

[krues8dr.livejournal.com]

Look man, I've got Japanese text support installed, but not Icelandic. For that matter, Grauzone is wrong, too.

Wasn't the Apotheosis declared an Unsong and yanked from distribution for all time? Not that every DJ on the planet didn't already have it...
I know that KMFDM's Leibesleid suffered this fate - for the same sample, in fact. Not that certain crazed fans don't still have the first pressing of Naive. :)

I LOVE YOU. Who are you!?!?!??!?!

Christiane DID play in fact "Red Light" by SATB not last Saturday night, but the one before that. My boi requested it, and I requested Adam Ant's "Strip", she played both, we were very very very very very very very very happy.

I like some stompy stompy (but my tastes in that area are fairly limited you trust me!) but I agree that the scene is just too overrun with it, esp. when it's supposed to be a Goth night. Now Goth is just used as a general "Umbrella" term for all things "alternative" in this scene of darklings. *sigh* Gang of Four are awesome, and that you even requested a song is awesome, so thumbs up to you and btw, Cocteau Twins are by far high up there on my list of faves. I heart Liz Fraser.

When will you be at The Dawning next? =D

[ex-carnaval-619.livejournal.com]

The Clash - The Magnificent Seven or Radio Clash =D
Siouxsie & The Banshees - anything ;)
The Cramps - again, anything, I heart them, you know this.
Clan of Xymox - Louise, Back Door, Obsession, Evelyn
Cocteau Twins - Lorelei (and pretty much anything else)
Joy Division - Decades.
Bel Canto - Intravenous

I can't think of anything else at this moment, but it doesn't really matter, I'll just come up and request it if I do ;)

I'm sure Jay will comment (he's got a live journal now...;)) with some of his own...heh, all old I'm sure!

[evadimus.livejournal.com]

I think that Apop's song... um... I can't remember what it's called but it's off Apocalypse Manifesto also suffered the same "O Fortuna" fate. Whoever is in charge of that damn song needs to just give it up! You can't write something that cool and not expect it to be played all over the frikkin' place in uber cool remixes!

[rat-bastard.livejournal.com]

She Cries Alone!
