Wedding Music
Well, planning our wedding should be *fun*, shouldn’t it? Hell if I know…doesn’t matter; I think eloping in Vegas is a sensible option - and I’m not even within spitting distance of the date. So, what’s going on with me…well, I’m thinking I’m going to do the music for the wedding reception myself. Sure, yeah yeah, I need to save a couple bucks where I can - but I also am figuring it’s not like the most crucial role. It’s not like skipping over the pastor. It’s not like having MickeyD’s for food, innit?
So, with a little planning and ingenuity I figure I can create some play lists for the various aspects of the reception - and then just teach a couple of the relatives how to add songs to a play list. I’m going to buy a shite load of music (gotta love soundike).
Seriously, how can it go wrong? A myriad of ways I imagine.
So, my little plan is basically to build a library of top dance hits and then just collect a bunch of the songs from the lists…..I’ve already got some great swing and early Jazz that’ll be really fun as well…..I mean, when I crank up Pantera and D.R.I no one is going to be dancing anyhow….so I really only need a few filler songs until the bride passes out and the in-laws bore of me!
Ok, ok, ok - all joking aside. No Pantera or D.R.I. - I mean, how can I explain a song called “I’d rather be sleeping” is just a joke? So back to the task at hand. Collecitng a list of great (and fun) dance songs…..
So where am I going to get the top lists from? Well….that remains to be seen.
