@fauxhammer - The Social Network soundtrack is a wondrous thing.
Depends on the party & party vibe, of course, but these will always get me moving:
"Living Dead Girl," Rob Zombie "God is God," Juno Reactor "When the Lights Go Out," Oingo Boingo "Peekaboo," Siouxsie and the Banshees "Loveless," by Siouxsie (long post-Banshees) "Passenger," Iggy Pop "Honeymoon Croon," Bauhaus "Unspoken," by Lacuna Coil "Magdalena," A Perfect Circle "Rev 22:20," Puscifer nearly any track from Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D by Nine Inch Nails (and many, many other NIN tracks & mixes besides) just about anything by Portisehead especially "Only You" and "Biscuit" Portisehead may tread close to shoegaze, but I feel that's only if people aren't trying...
Also, janelle monae. She is my favorite new artist of 2010, but then again, I might just be a fool for r&b/funk concept albums about robots from the future in love and on the run
OH MY GOD THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD! I had no voice for two days at Roskilde after sieging a guard tower in the middle of the night, yelling that over and over again. Poor guards.
So far razangel is the only one who's suggested some songs I like (apart from the hobbits... ooops.). And 8 BIT REMIX OF WHERE IS MY MIND? YOU FREAKS! I don't think I want to go to your party. :(
Okay. First I'll shout out for Norway and Bergen...
The things that will make me dance like crazy are a mix of decent music and hilariously bad pop music. And everyone knows I like rock and metal. Decent stuff I like/can dance to include:
-The Dead Kennedys with "Too Drunk to Fuck" -lots of Nine Inch Nails -Eagles of Death Metal with "I want you so hard" -Gogol Bordello -LCD Soundsystem with "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" -Prodigy with... God, there's so much! "Invaders Must Die" is always a winner. -Ramones with Blitzkrieg Bop -Aaaaaand... Surfing Bird. Hell yes! The bird is the word!
BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THE DECENT MUSIC?! CLEARLY NOT YOU! So I'll post videos to the crap instead! It makes me happy!
Bonaparte! Too Much!
Maskinen - Alla som inte dansar! Much hated Swedish hit with the lyrics "Everyone who doesn't dance is a rapist". Made a lot of fuzz in it's day. I LOVE IT.
AAAAAAAND! MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE! Robots in disguise with "The Sex Has Made Me Stupid"!
Okay, this was a looong and very general post. And today I really feel more like jumping around to this, anyway: Kvelertak - Mjød
Love this thread. Except for the Hobbits. @Paul Sizer Why don't the Latin Rascals get more respect? I wasn't alive in their heyday, but who else was doing super heavy tape edit stuff like that? They don't even have a wikipedia page?! Is there a compilation of funky Morricone?
