Music for a wedding recetion.

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 05:15 AM

I'm starting to compile the music for when I get married, in November.

The music will be divided into three sections:

A) Music to be played while we're eating.
B) The start of the evening.
C) When the evening really gets going (I'm thinking lots of northern soul/disco).

So what are your suggestions? Remember to put each song (and I want songs, not just bands) into the category you think it belongs in, A, B, or C.

At the start of the evening (B), I'd have to say:

The Doors - Light My Fire

EDIT: Fucking congratulations, too!

Toilet & Bowels · 04.10.2007, 05:32 AM

what song are you going to do the first dance to?

jon boy · 04.10.2007, 05:36 AM

as the night goes on the trashier it should get.

You've got it!

I don't know about first dance. We have a few ideas, but will have to think about it.

I realise also that I misspelled reception.

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 05:54 AM

And the first person who mentions Abba goes on ignore.

Toilet & Bowels · 04.10.2007, 06:46 AM

J&mc
mudhoney
dinosaur jr
stooges
nirvana
my bloody valentine... etc

now that the formalities are out of the way we can return to the matter at hand. are there any stylistic criteria? DOs and DON'Ts etc

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 06:48 AM

What did I say...?

EDIT: Sorry, you were just listing the ones that'll be mentioned a thousand times

.

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 06:51 AM

No dos and don'ts really. Just some quietish background music for A, good dancy music for B, and guaranteed floor-fillers for C.

Danny Himself · 04.10.2007, 06:52 AM

I had to compile this sort of list when my uncle got married. First, make up your own list for the night, THEN get each guest to contribute 3 of their favorite songs so you can add them. Before you know it the list will be huge.

I reccomend some Odelay-era Beck for the dancing. Jazz for eating.

There's no way I'm letting our families choose the music. I said NO Abba remember?

Danny Himself · 04.10.2007, 06:56 AM

Well at least for the floorfillers section. You know, New Yooooooooooooork!!!! New Yooooooooooooooork!!!

RdTv · 04.10.2007, 07:29 AM

First off congratulations, second off here's some stuff for section C, you mentioned soul and I couldn't resist:

Saxie Russell - Psychedelic Soul
Third Guitar - Baby Don't Cry
Cameo - Rigor Mortis
Tony Alvon & The Bel Airs - Sexy Coffee Pot
Prince - Kiss
Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up
Pure Essence - Third Rock

More to come once I dig more.........

nicfit · 04.10.2007, 08:20 AM

Dusty Springfield - "Spooky" while you're eating

Washing Machine · 04.10.2007, 08:39 AM

You definately need Glenn Branca's The Ascension whist you are walking down the aisle.

Radiohead (How to disappear completely), The Smiths (I Know its over) for when you're eating.
Lots of Pixies (Here Come Your Man), Pavement and dancier SY songs for C

Washing Machine · 04.10.2007, 08:40 AM

Just don't whatever you do have the first dance to 'Shadow of a Doubt'

I'm not sure who you're friends with but Pixies, Pavement, and SY wouldn't be floor fillers for anywhere I've ever been.

I'm not sure where these would fit but you need some fucking love songs.

Nina Simone's Wild Is The Wind, Cat Power's Good Woman, Cat Power's Maybe Not, etc.

Washing Machine · 04.10.2007, 09:35 AM

I dunno you can dance to Pixies and no one could resist dancing to Incinerate or Kool Thing. Maybe Im delusional...they always go down well at my parties, but then again i've seen one of my friends totally rock out to Steve Reich.
