I'm Glad I Crashed The Wedding

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A special poptimists poll to celebrate jauntyalan's Wedding to Emma, the new Mrs Jaunty. Many of your poptimist correspondents were at this wedding yesterday and danced to a selection of tunes spun by carsmilesteve and thebarnetape (with occasional consultancy by yrs trly).

This selection is brought to us by The Wedding Party box set, yours for £8.99 from Amazon. I was going to buy this from Woolworth's yesterday morning but they were out of it so I made some Popular CDs instead. Eagle-eyed readers may spot one (1) track that was not on the original tracklist for this album.


[Poll #818324]


Songs marked with a * were played at the wedding yesterday. As was the, erm, bonus track - whatever that is.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Utah Saints is ok, though. The Norwich equivalent of a Rock The Dancefloor compilation, less so. Unless it's some kind of new-fangled rave wedding. (It wasn't.)

My friend tells me that he wants to DJ at his own wedding, which surely means lots of Bright Eyes and Jandek. Sigh.

Jandek's "Babe I Love You" is a good track, and is clearly a terrible omission from the MEGAMIX above.

this is all useful stuff though. considering i have a fill an ipod with 8 hours or so of wedding friendly background music for my own upcoming nuptuals.

I cannot help you, for I have no heart.

Except for that MARVELLOUS icon. Did he have his hands stapled behind his back, in manner of Denis Norden's permanently fused-to-hand clipboard?

You mean you don't remember?!? :)

DJing at your own wedding is a real vanity exercise that should be discouraged, sez me.

Agreed. I went to the wedding where the bride and groom plugged in a laptop with a rub itunes playlist programmed in. Where's the fun in that? Plus towards the end of the night the bride inevitably ended up spending twenty minutes trying to find the one other song she wanted to hear.
