NME's Student Disco Anthems Of All Time Poll

Jurassic 5, then House of Pain!

And if you were lucky, Intergalactic by the Beasties!

I once got the student DJ in the supposedly more "choice" upstairs union club to play some Public Enemy. It wasn't vintage PE, but that bouncy Get Up song from Muse-Sick, which is still pretty cool.

Another time i dressed up as Flava Flav for Halloween. I didn't black up or anything (jeez louise!) but I did borrow the clock from the student paper office. Sadly nobody got who I was supposed to be, until we arrived at the union and some drunken Irish bloke was like, "I see who you are, you're Flava Flav!"
Note Flav rhymed with Bath or Cath. It's funnier as a spoken anecdote, I know...

LOL yeah that would have been me, unless I was already shitfaced.

Jurassic 5, then House of Pain!

No match for the awesome might of the early 00s hip-hop concessions: "Ante Up", "What About Dre", and A BEASTIE BOYS TRACK TO BE DECIDED LATER.

P.S.: The thought of people "dancing" to "Feed the Tree" is totally mind-blowing to me. I'm picturing lots of miming of taking hats off.

I was distracted by the site of a topless John McCririck on the TV.

(this effect later ruining by bouncing around to Big Bad Baby Pig Squeal* about five minutes later)

*or whatever that Silverfish song was that they used to play all the time

i've heard erol play that disgusting song before, at the end. i was horrified and exited the dancefloor with HASTE; i am afraid to say that matt dc, anna-marie and kt had no such sense of propriety and did that headbanging thing to it :o

DING DING DING! ailsa, thank you.

i once danced so insanely to kennedy i was very nearly sick.

this was long after i was a student too.

Also "Call It What You Want" by Credit to the Nation, which got everyone rushing onto the dancefloor because they thought it was "Smells Like Teen Spirit" then feeling foolish because it wasn't and being all "yeah, I knew it wasn't Nirvana".

HAHAHAHAH. o, happy days!

Haha. Indeed. See also "Hippy Chick" by Soho.

fucking kennedy, man. god that tune PWNS everything else here.

right, this is a goer! ILX over-30s indie disco! kennedy on the hour, every hour! DJ ailsa and simon's carter-fest! book a venue now!

srsly, i think we should do this.

but i am notoriously sad.

(nb: it's not just for the over-30s. it's for the over-30s at heart too.)

(but, yeah, totally, we should)

10. Guns'n'Roses - Paradise City
9. Michael Jackson - Anything at all up to 1991
8. Van Halen - Jump
7. Killers - Somebody Told Me (ultimate haircut indie banker)
6. N-Trance - Set You Free
5. Undertones - Teenage Kicks (banker to end all bankers, really)
4. Kriss Kross - Jump
3. AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
2. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
1. EAST 17 - HOUSE OF LOVE

How can we make this happen?

xpost, gah, kids today...

QFT. Your modern day indie kid would take Snow before "Common People" nine times out of ten.

PWEI (or vilevil, or whatever the clint-less line-up calls itself) would probably be well up for this. i imagine we'd be able to get jimbob cheaply. and after the thousands of words i've written both on the web and in print about the godlike genius of the weddoes ("better than the smiths", "the most important british rock band of the past 20 years" [1]), gedge owes me a fucking favour :)

[1] let's not start arguing this, shall we? i know i'm right.

Oh yes.

And you have the added bonus of knowing that theres no way you would have to worry about meeting me there!

(PS when me and Simon actually really do this, you and The Lex can have free weekend passes)

Play "Harlem Shuffle" and see how many people are up on the dancefloor in order to "Jump Around"...

also, an indie night calle 30 something is long bloody overdue. i've been asked to play a britpop night on saturday, and even five minutes of thinking about it has made me realise i'm actually going to have a fantastic night. SO, COUNT ME IN, IN SHORT :-)

i'm also playing an indie wedding in sydney in a couple of weeks, and have been told "pulp, the house of love, sugar, saint etienne - y'know, that sort of thing" - BRING IT!

YAYY!
