h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought Black Lace was going a bit too far, but that's it!!

We need Shiny Happy People on the list. REM rock!!!

I remember hearing a mix of this in a club many years ago which I've never heard outside from there.

If it's happy music then what about Happy Talk, Captain Sensible

Rock the Casbah. Sorry I was watching the Simpson's last night and can't get that song out of my head.

Drop your bomb between the minarets..

I remember listening to that most weeks on the Radio 1 request show with Annie Nightingale.

She looked old at Ian Drury's funeral.

See my latest journal entry for friends who have not aged at all. ;-( ;-(

Can I suggest we don't have Hotel California or is that too controversial?

I noticed but couldn't think of anything relevant to say. At least not as DD.

Hotel California, you're right, not for this party.

How about Fiesta by The Pogues. Guarenteed to get everybody up and jumping around and making complete fools of themselves

Hey guys, how you all doing?
Ok, my taste in music is probably somewhat teenager orientated but hear me out...
Blink 182
Four Star Mary (if anyone can actually get hold of the album)
Matchbox 20
Moby
The Barenaked Ladies
Rasputina
Sugar Ray
and if anyone mentions boybands, girlbands or the evil that is Celine Dion I'm here to personally volunteer to strangle them with streamers

hello i'd like to say my music taste is also somewhat teenage (I'm 15 for the sake of cake) but aside from that i think we should build a campfire and sing rousing hyms. Alternatively we could put my Bush album on repear all night.

Great idea! About Bush- singing Kumbyah (or however the hell you spell it) still strikes fear into my heart...

well good for you

Excuse me, but you don't like Hotel California? Then I suppose Sister Golden Hair, Take It Easy, Freebird, STH and 2112 are all out of the question, too? (Please don't someone come on and tell me they're not all from the same band.. I'm aware of this. )

'Nonnie

uh-oh this sounds just like what happens at any party where an age difference will manifest itself as arguing about what gets played on the stereo (just like the article which on parties and the generation gap on this here site)

Still I'm sure I could put on music both new ond not so new that'd clear the room every time, how to fill it back up again is another matter.

ps 'Nonnie Sister Golden Hair and STH? I know the others

ha yes i know the article, perhapse we should print it out and blue tac it up next to the stereo so that when tempers are frayed over music we can refer to it for sage counsel.

Uh-oh. Someone mentioned Bush.
But hey, someone else (Trilly, IIRC) menitoned Blik 182! Yeah! "And maybe/I'll see you/At a movie/Sneak preview/You'll show up/And walk by/On the arm/Of that guy/And I'll smile/And you'll wave/And pretend/It's okay/A charade/That won't last/The future is/Coming fast..."
What a great band.
Or what about Liz Phair?
She's kewl, as skateboarding 12-year-olds might say...

"Would you like to beat around the Bush?" - Stuart Maconie
"Well, I'd like to beat Bush..." - Lauren Laverne

For the record, I have no idea what "menitoned" means. It could be a band name, actually... Al and the Menitones...

Hi Abi I know you'll be here next, I'm working on the Disco as we speak after all I hung the DJ.

Playlist and all will be ready soon, I'll post teh url once I'm done.
