this is what i sent to my co-worker for a screening/second set of ears. ultimately i just didn't want to do anything that scanned only as middle-aged white guy music, so it's a combination of recent pop and 70s soul/r&b.

"champion" by kanye was the hardest thing to cut because i think it's perfect in a lot of ways, but he says shit twice and i didn't want to risk someone failing to get the clean version.

like the thought of using anything on this was extremely depressing.

haha i love how "happy" is first on the list, i remember someone here (lex) aptly describing it as a song for corporate meetings/conferences/team-building exercises

haha yeah it's a safe open because it's totally unfuckwithable for the situation

we had a party at work here on saturday --- party went for 5 hours or more, I swear they had maybe a 30 minute playlist on repeat the whole night

even the barstaff were commenting about how many times they'd heard certain songs

yeah i'm trying to pad this thing out a little bit because there's nothing worse than repeats
