haha thanks dude
i've got a lot of stuff figured out already but am trying to flesh out the R&B/jazz selections without going all the way obvious. the songs I started w/ that i'm kind of working off of vibe-wise are like Prince's "Adore" and the Aaliyah version of "At Your Best." also doing a lot of goofy 70s classic rock.

I can't stop laughing at the post in this thread where Jess suggests "Lithium" and "Crawling" and I have no idea if he was serious or kidding, and it doesn't matter.

four years pass...
• Is it OK to play "OPP"? Song makes ppl go bananas, but doesn't exactly have a pro-wedding message.
• Should I be worried about playing Mystikal?
• Can I play Average White Band's kind of dirty "Cut the Cake" for when we cut the cake?

five years pass...
Around five years ago, some friends asked me to make a playlist of appropriate music for cocktail hour at their wedding reception. I put lots of work into a selection of late ’50s / early ’60s rock/pop/doo-wop tunes (“Golden Age of American Rock ’N’ Roll” type stuff), carefully curated to be great songs that weren’t too obvious/overplayed; with perfect transitions/“flow”; thematic appropriateness (especially a few wedding/party-specific tracks at the beginning & end), etc. I mean, I put hours of work into this.
When the big day arrived, I started up my Perfect, Agonized-Over Playlist, and pumped up the volume... after a song or two, the groom turned the volume way down, so that guests could actually hear themselves talk over the music. I was crestfallen – no one would really hear / appreciate my handiwork! The music would just be playing faintly “in the background”! What a blow to the artistic genius of the playlist maker!!
Obviously, the real lesson is: what a ridiculous nerd (me)!
(I still have the playlist, btw, if anyone’s interested... it’s really good...)
