People who say DJs have no talent are the same people who make crappy mix CDs.
I like me a good dance night once in a while, but that article actually makes some pretty good points. Mousetrap has been feeling stale for many years now. I guess it's comforting to know it's there, like an old dog by the fireplace.
I still miss Panic!, but after all this time, that would probably be feeling stale by now too, if it had kept on.
As for underwear parties... quelle freshman year.
Bliss-Pop is one of the best, I think, because Will always puts enough variety and new stuff mixed in to keep it fresh. It lost a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, however, when it got too big for the little back room at the Black Cat... intimacy was one of its charms.
I haven't been to the Hirshorn one, but that actually sounds promising were it done well. How do you host a dance night in a museum, though, isn't there a danger of drunks puking on the art?
Does the Wag still happen? I thought that was one of the better ones too, though sadly ill-attended on the times I went (and nobody I know goes
)
