Is there any good reason why go-go music never really made it outside of DC, aside from a song or two 10 or 15 years ago?
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I had thought it was because of the 1) the song format being too long to ever get radio play even on college/independent stations and 2) the general insular nature of the DC music scene.
However, this opinion was formed based on a ten-minute conversation with a friend about his friend's student-film-school-project documentary on go go music. So it is likely not worth much.

School Daze sucked. It's entirely Spike Lee's fault.

Worked better live than recorded. It's like extended James Brown jams - doesn't have the tight concision of a great funk or hip hop single. The hooks weren't as immediate. They grooved you to death.

Except, isn't Da Butt from School Daze? He tried!!!!
OK, thanks. Just a random wondering.

You evil evil woman.
Though now my earworm, courtesy of the deli in my building, is that Mariah Carey Christmas song (which I shamefacedly admit I *adore*, though I'm still not ready for Christmas music yet).
