thanks... i have it on good authority that at in the back of the club people were doing the "Time Warp". also, i could have sworn people were singing along with "Faith" but it's hard to tell for sure in the DJ booth, did you notice that?
-
I saw and heard people next to me singing along!
I also had some girl yodeling the Cranberries in my ear...
-
cool and sorry about the yodeling ;)

Rage Against the Record Label: The Hanson Brothers Make a Film
ROBERT LEVINE
The New York Times
Plenty of bands have written songs complaining about their frustration with record labels. But Hanson, the band of three brothers that helped usher in a teenage pop craze with the 1997 hit "MMMBop," has made an entire documentary film about its dismal experience on the label Island Def Jam.
Originally signed to Mercury Records, Hanson found itself with Island Def Jam as a result of major label mergers. In the fall of 2000, Hanson began recording what was to be its third major-label album of new material and hired a director, Ashley Greyson, to film the process. "About eight months in, we realized there was going to be more difficulty than we thought," said Taylor Hanson, 22.
The movie, "Strong Enough to Break," follows the band's disagreements with label executives - over the choice of producer and the need for an upbeat single, among other things - and ultimately its decision to leave the label and found its own, 3CG Records. The album, "Underneath," finally came out on Hanson's own label in April 2004 and sold 130,000 copies, a healthy figure for an independent release.
Between concerts on its current tour, the group is screening the film at colleges. The brothers, who have made it into their 20's without attracting much attention from tabloids, say they would like to educate students about the music business; they take questions after the screenings. Of course, Hanson is also hoping to arouse interest in its new live album and its current tour. "We're not unaware that we're reconnecting with people and a few of them might come to the concert," said Zac Hanson, who is 20.
For a recent screening at the Cantor Film Center at New York University, the audience consisted largely of young women who were in their early teens when Hanson first became popular.
"As soon as I saw the poster I was overwhelmed," said Bryana Servedio, an N.Y.U. freshman who remembers, when she was younger, sending Zac Hanson green Jell-O for his birthday (he had said it was his favorite food). She was interested in the band's take on its struggle to make the album. "I don't get to see behind the scenes," she said. ROBERT LEVINE

thanks for all the kind words, DJing sunday was fun! for all my obsession with indie power pop, etc i still have a weak spot for the big hits. while the 9:30 DJ booth offers a nice birds view of the club, it's hard to gage how people on the floor are reacting to what i'm spinning.
