#11 - Give Me Every Little Thing

May 2, 2013

In yesterday’s mixtape posting I mentioned that I have a gig coming up on Friday that I’d say more about today. And it’s today! So here’s the deal: I’m DJing a party in Williamsburg on Friday the 3rd where we’re making a concerted effort to play some of our favorite underground dance tunes from the early 2000’s. Kind of a deeply uncool time in music right now–too recent to be retro, too old to be current. But yesterday’s tough spot is tomorrow’s sweet spot, and these tracks are already sounding a little nostalgic for me, so I think the retro qualities of the turn of the century begin today. Not only that, but my DJ career began almost exactly 10 years ago, in 2003, so my earliest attempts at dance parties fall smack dab in the middle of this period. Without further ado, I present a collection of my favorite dance songs from 2000 - 2005. Have at it!

The train left - and I’m sad to say that I have zero confidence that the paramedics ever did their job. From the way they were treating him, I would bet that they left him there.

And this is what makes me think twice about settling down in the city. I want to raise children where preserving human dignity is a community value, and not reserved for only certain people during certain times of the day.

Ugh, this is a terrible account.
