You know, I
started
making a list of the yummy food from the list that I liked, and then realised that I was...writing the list. So - yeah. I'm good.
Musicwise, my taste is pretty damned catholic, and everything that's been suggested sounds good. If there's any space for a few jazz standards, I'd be happy like a happy thing. Ella, Nina, Billie, Louis Armstrong (or Jordan)...all that jazz. (I'm good with Norah Jones and
I'd love to hear some classic Bollywood, if it turned out to be feasible.
And if anyone else were interested in a couple of Arabic tunes - some Nancy Agram, Amr Diab or Ruby, perhaps...? Well, I could sling over a couple of tracks, if anyone were interested. I know that there are several bellydancing types among the Buffistas who could possibly enjoy it. Or, you know, not. I'm good. But a few Jazz standards would make me happy.
Um. Actually, Nora Jones/Eddi Reader/Michelle Shocked/Indigo Girls/KT Tunstall...these would be lovely too.
'kay. Shutting up now. Jazz standards. Yes.
I'll put in a bid for some Clapton, both early and late, John Mayall, Johnny Lang and a little Lynard Skynard. Also, Fay is me in regards to jazz. When it all comes down to it, it's all good stuff.
"The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count", The Divine Comedy
Yesyesyes. And "Gin-Soaked Boy."
"Peek-a-Boo" Siouxsie and The Banshees
whimpers
Please?
"Jaan Pehchaan Ho"
Oooh! And maybe "Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa (Today My Heart Desires)" from
Monsoon Wedding?
And the music most likely to get everyone up and dancing like crazy dancey things IME is the Jackson 5's "A-B-C" or "Stop!...".
Okay, I think I'm moving into the yes-for-sure category on coming, despite still not having a formal Yes from the people who would give me an extra day (my job, and it would be a quasi-working day).
My thinking on music is extremely primitive. I don't think you can dance to Mingus, but I'll bring him anyway.
I should bring some Henry Mancini and make you all waltz, shouldn't I? It will be our very own Dancing With The Stars!
Not everyone out there is going to want to hear Patti Smith singing "Horses"
I suppose anybody can live through three or four minutes of a song they don't like. Or go pee.
Strikes request for full-length recording of Wagner's Ring Cycle opera off wishlist...
"Peek-A-Boo" good, as is any danceable Depeche Mode.
I know we have a bellydancer coming (koffsmonsterkoff), so maybe something she could dance to? If she wanted?
I'm a dancefloor ho - so music period is good.

This, oh please, this.
I'll pretty much dance to anything I can, but I have a select few things I love.
"Starry-Eyed Surprise" Paul Oakenfeld
"Rock Your Body" - Justin Timberlake
And damn near any No Doubt.
OH!! "Female of the Species" - Space Lyrics cause, well, Jill will be there and I wanna see her dance again.
