London xmas do music - It's the final countdown, da da dada da daaa da da etc etc etc

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Please add requests.

I'm thinking of making a few cds

A- slow quiet things

Mamas & Papas - dream a little dream as an example so
James Morrison / Keane/ Beatles? / portishead etc, that kind of ilk.

B - more partyish but quiet things

i.e 'sweet dreams', moloko, orbital, jackson 5 etc etc

C - full on cheese - downtown, say a little prayer, hell even living on a prayer.

D - weepy power ballads

I will compile what I can from the albums I have (feckloads) and get the rest from i tunes. Then at the venue we can switch and change depending on the mood.

Bring em on.

yay for livin on a prayer - nothing like some big haired cheese for a party

D - Noooooooooooo
we aren't going to be doing snoggy slow dances are we???

weepy power ballads does seem a bit bizarre

C
if its not C im not coming.

i wanna get pished happy and dance.

yes actualy maybe A. it will preserve the tiny amount of dignity i have in reserve

Okay maybe not weepy, but I bet after lots of wine we'll all be wanting some power ballads.

Plus we've got to think of those bringing lemons. Must be inclusive.

I'm making loads of cds's, it's not a vote for abc or d. it's suggest ones to those themes.

Or suggest your own themes?

I want 90's indie but fear I may be alone.

no, i want 90s indie too.

but current indie rock is ok with me too.

i'm with eandz

Another vote for Indie (with a side of cheese )

I've got a 160gb iPod I'm happy to lend to the cause, if that helps... it's got loads on it - would you like to confer, Devil?

lovecat how about we make lots of lists of what people want, then I'll put together what I've got and you haven't iyswim and post a dvd with all the songs on it to you, which you can then load onto your ipod. phew
Or is that complicating things?

Can someone link to the final meetup thread? I think I'm coming. I'm still in shock tbh. I went on fio's thread about going out and I'm coming with Creomola.

hoorah!

Cremola even. Oh and I'll dance to anything except heavy metsl or hardcore rave.

Daft question but I don't own a credit card, can I bring the 20 quid with me?

Nope, that sounds good to me, if you don't mind doing the cds...

exciting.

I'll put them all onto a data disk so you can then transfer them to your pc then ipod.

Now suggestions please everyone! (stern glare)

So we need lots of cheese

Indie - 90s and 00s (I desperately need Ash - Girl From Mars)

For pure drunken cheese i think time warp is necessary. It may not be cool or right, but it is PARTY music. PROPER time warp though, with Columbia, not that weirdy rappish thing

Yep, I can do Girl from Mars and (my own Ash fave) Cherry Bomb

I have so much cheese I could open a fromagerie... just name it!

Can you throw in the occasional bit of rock please.

Decent rock, from the 60s/70s

Not that I intend to dance to it (might sheuffle my zimmer), but I would like to hear the odd track here or there that I actually know.

oh come on can't we PLEASE have a leeetle bit of lovely MODERN STUFF/

simian mobile disco? hotchip? bit of busta rhymes which went down fabulously at the time before last? kaiser chiefs? ting tings?

i mean COME ON WE'RE NOT ALL IN OUR 60S ARE YOU WE?

Lol I am happy with modern stuff too (I know one of the klaxons dontcha know)

Seriously though - ting tings?

watch them dance fs...watch them dance!

even ancient crumbly types like me like the ting tings!

Can do all of them, Soph

ok so it looks like i'll be dancing if we've got music. whose going to help keep slimy old men from wanting to pat my hair?

have to admit that I've started making a list and so far the party will have to go on for 7 hours if it all got played...
