We be burning !!
I know everybody must be sleeping or busy with somethin serious right now but well i had a good weekend and i'm in a good mood. It hasn't happened in a while so i just want everybody to know it... yes !!
I know i'm supposed to explain why i started the " i'll grow from this " post but trust me, it's just a matter of days, that post will come. If only everybody on this site understood french it would be way easier...
But anyway ! I was checkin Mr Nathan's blog when i saw an old post about House Music, well it's not THAT old, just a few months... the question was " is house/dance music dead ? "and i'm wonderin if the post was really about the house/dance music i know !! I'm talking about :
Daft Punk ( " One more time ", " Aerodynamic ", " Face to face " )
E-Type ( " Life " ) / Groove Coverage ( " Poison " )
The Bucketheads ( their hit " The Bomb ! " really was da bomb )
Armand Van Helden ( " My my my ", " Flowerz " )
Mylo ( " Drop the pressure " ) / Modjo ( " Lady " )
etc...
Is it even POSSIBLE to go clubbin without listenin to that kinda music ? I mean clubbin is about having real, ridiculous, simple fun... it's not all about dressing up to stay in a corner and lip-sync all those songs everybody seems to know from a to z because MTV and BET always play the same dumb stuff !!!
Now don't get me wrong, i'm not sayin that it's the only kinda music i want to hear in a club or it's the best music but it's just NECESSARY... too much of anythin is always annoying and yes ! house/dance tracks can be kinda long and the beat seems to last forever but... thats why there's a DJ !!
That's why u leave your house in the middle of the night and pay a cover charge to get in : So u can have a good time in a place where professionals know how to create an ambiance !!
The DJ is supposed to be workin, he's supposed to cut, mix, remix, loop, stop the music, put it back on,... next time u come out of a club and remember every song that was played and the order too ( which is pretty easy since all clubs tend to be kinda lame these days ), remember soldier told you this : You've been fooled !!! If it was that simple, i'd be makin people pay to party at my house and i would just let them dance to one of my windows media player playlists !!!
Do some people really think an excellent night at the club = standin in the corner singing " shorty's so seductive dancing on me, the way that she moves is making me horny " ??? ( if u're singin that song and there's just men in the room, then there IS a problem !! )
After a good night out, u're supposed to be exhausted ( or at least tired ! ), happy, tipsy, horny, u're not supposed to remember everything u heard... ain't it great to hear a song in a club and be like " whats is this ? i gotta have this !!! " u're supposed to be smiling and be like " dayum, that was something ! ", u're supposed to come back the next time not knowingwhat it's gonna be like.
Last time i went to one of those " popular " clubs down here, mashonda's " Blackout " had just started and i heard a budy's girlfriend say " oh, i gotta go to the ladies' room now coz i don't wanna miss we be burning, that song is crazy !! " and she left running.
About a minute later she was back, and Sean Paul's " We be burning started "... i was really shocked ! She looked at me, smiling : " that's my faaaaavorite club ". I just smiled back.
A few minutes later, i got a call : " wanna get some sushi ? ". I was at the sushi bar before the person who invited me. At least they were playing the radio, so every time a song came on, it was a suprise...
