you're one of those people who plays joy division at bars, aren't you?

Double Nickels would be better.

For one thing there's some actual goddamn BASS on that album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

I disagree. There's a groove, but its too oblique to allow me to get my drink on.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

xpost

That was my rationale, yes.

― Clothing the Gotterdammerung Doors (noodle vague), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

dude have you even ever been to a party: Y/N

The aptly named Spot couldn't even spell "bass."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

If I walk into a party playing Husker Du, I am walking out of that party. (And I like Husker Du.)

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

"Never Talking to You Again" = wooh, let's get this party STARTED.

There are times when "Turn On the News" might be an okay kinda party jam. Like if people were too loud to hear the words, or too drunk to give a shit.

But no. Still no.

― Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

In terms of "party music", Sugar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Husker Du.

However, New Order >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> both.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

oNly if "Reoccurring Dreams" is locked on repeat and the entire house is spinning.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:17 (eighteen years ago)

and there's acid.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

the Makes No Sense At All single is a pretty great party record

On its Y-axis.

I don't know if this thread makes me feel sad that I'm not going out tonight, or v.v. happy.

― Clothing the Gotterdammerung Doors (noodle vague), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

come to think of it, if "party" = me, alone and drunk, then yeah, it's a great party record.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

I once left a party because "Tainted Love" came on.

― fuck you slacks (Mr.Que), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

xp - ok that is true

Depends on whether the DJ's spinning Goodbye 20th Century or Black Sheets of Rain.

Dan is otm about Sugar >>>> Husker Du. I've been saying it for years.

For best results, use a straight razor and violently lash at your face on the syllable "RIIIIIIIIIII" as you bellow along at the top of your lungs.

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

dudes, you need to check out the extended 12" remix of How To Skin A Cat

― timmy tannin (pompous), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:04 (eighteen years ago)

mr q, you no like soft cell?

I don't really like them, but I don't really hate them, it was more of a "this party sucks" kind of deal.

― fuck you slacks (Mr.Que), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:10 (eighteen years ago)

mould is DJing at the 9:30 on saturday, someone from DC ilx could just go and ask him.

― a_p (a_p), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:11 (eighteen years ago)

Whenever I throw a Husker Du Party, we like to roll with the following playlist:

Too Far Down
Hardly Getting Over It
Diane
Brazilia Crossed With Trenton (Mould solo but it rocks da house)
No Promise Have I Made
The Baby Song
59 Times The Pain
Hardly Getting Over It (reprise, with a singalong for the death verse)

YEAH OTM

― 69 (plsmith), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

It's true. "Generic Flipper" is the not-wrong version of this thread.

― Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

AH HAAAA YOU GUYS ARE BEST FRIENDS WITH ADAM LOLO LOLLL

― fuck you slacks (Mr.Que), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

ZA might be good for a "Coming Out" party.

― ramon fernandez (ramon fernandez), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:30 (eighteen years ago)

Because two members were gay, right?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:45 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I see what you did there.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:45 (eighteen years ago)

But why is it capitalized?

― Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Friday, 12 January 2007 23:54 (eighteen years ago)

When I was a lot younger I made a tape of songs I'd really like to hear when I was off my face at a festival or wherever, and it had Reoccuring Dreams on it. Worked for me

― Feargal Hixxy (DJ Mencap), Saturday, 13 January 2007 11:12 (eighteen years ago)

i've played "chartered trips" at parties before and i must say it went over rather well.

― Tay McNabb (Panda Explosion), Saturday, 13 January 2007 13:34 (eighteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

hoos! no love for you on this thread.

just found this used the other day, haven't listened, so i cannot yet say whether it's the party record.

― Mark Clemente, Friday, 14 December 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

It's not.

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 14 December 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago)

lol dc bullysquad rip

― pretzel walrus, Friday, 14 December 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

anyway this was not anti-hoos sentiment so much as it was "wow, ok, you and i have very different definitions of the word 'party.'"

― pretzel walrus, Friday, 14 December 2007 20:33 (seventeen years ago)

guys a secret

i was listening to it for the first time when i made this thread and i was only on like track 3

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 14 December 2007 21:15 (seventeen years ago)

haha ok that's pretty funny

― pretzel walrus, Friday, 14 December 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago)

Dawgs when Kornrulez6969 parties, he always rollz wid da Too Far Down/Hardly Getting Over it combo from da Candy Apple Grey.

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 14 December 2007 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

"Punch Drunk" is great for when you want the guests to leave!

― Saxby D. Elder, Friday, 14 December 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago)

i still love this record but most of it i would not play at a bar

― daria-g, Saturday, 15 December 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

The aptly named Spot couldn't even spell "bass."

But Saccharine Trust's 'PaganIcons' has a flippin' great bass sound. Then again, it was co-produced by Watt.
