I always wanted to have "Computer Love" played at my wedding. You know, if you have a pitch control on your turntable, that song sounds absolutely beautiful pitched all the way down. A tearjerker, almost.

interestingly enough a friend of told me the other day that he was doing a wedding and was asked to put a CD on while people milled around before the speeches etc... for some unknown reason he put on the Langley School Choir album... went down spectacularly badly, unsurprisingly, so try to avoid that!

bump for a certain ilx poster

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.

also currently trying to decide between "Int'l Players Anthem" or going straight to "I Choose You."

And the bf just said NO LOVECATS

He was/is obviously insane.

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.

^^yeah

i for serious think u should play 'yolanda' by reality

especially if her name is yolanda, which im pretty sure its not

please have dj khaled involved in some capacity, preferably the interlude on the rick ross album with your wife's name dubbed over the parts where he says RICK ROSS

we here forever and we aint never gonna stop (wife) is the defination of the projects (wife) is the defination of the ghetto (wife) is the defination of the slums (wife) is the Streets you see (wife) is like the poor People President she represents the struggle she's the level of the hustle i am (al shipley) and im gonna stand beside (wife) for the of my life through the good times through the bad times see we will never be stopped Never cause we the muthafucking best

haha that just reminds me of the time I was all smh at breihan for saying he was gonna play "we takin' over" at his wedding.

smh...?

it was a popular abbreviation for the phrase "shaking my head" prior the invention of this gif: http://i17.tinypic.com/6ptj2ua.gif

DIY wedding music

• 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?

Skip OPP and put on Don't Believe the Hype & Crazy in Love imo

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...)

Put it out as a "Wedding DJ Kicks" on 3xLP and I'll check it out
