[size=small]I'm having a huge party and I like most on head-fi have fantastic taste in music. I want people to think this is the greatest music at a party ever (bare with me). the tricky part is that its a high school reunion (5yr) so it will be an eclectic crowd. I will be giving credit to head-fi no doubt.

please list songs that get you goin! Obscure/new or old. limit mainstream please.

A few so far...

.Massive Attack - I Against I
.Common - The Corner
.Daft Punk - Da Funk
.Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
.Smack My Bitch Up (DJ Hype Remix)

Slightly uncalled for...Billboard for 2001. referring to my choice in songs?

NO! NO! NO!

This is your 5 year reunion. 2006 - 5 = 2001. I thought the songs at the time of graduation would be welcomed.

My God are you sensitive.

 

[mixmasterbert]
