WEDDING

My memoir tutor, Mark, got married last week (Congratulations Mark!!).

Few month ago, he asked me if I would accept to be his wedding DJ.

I was thrilled, and then terrified, until he told me that I didn’t had to worry anymore because he finally had found a real one! Wahoo such a relief! For 2 days I had horrible nightmares about me ruining my favourite teacher’s wedding.

Because 1st: I’m not a DJ, and 2nd: everybody knows that a DJ has an important role in a party: a bad DJ can ruin a party and here, it’s not just a simple party it’s a wedding party!!

The tricky part in a wedding playlist is that 1st; you have to make a clever mix between oldies and trendy songs. The playlist has to represent all kind of generations - granny wants to dance too! And you also have to fit to the guests’ music taste.
2ndly, you have to be careful on the music you pick. Especially love songs. You have to avoid all songs talking about lost love, cheating couples, broken heart, etc… For example, “Bye Bye Love” from Ray Charles is not a good choice for a wedding playlist! But well, you can’t avoid all songs with explicit lyrics, just sad love songs!!

Anyway, as soon as he asked me if I would agree to be his wedding DJ, I started making a wedding playlist. So here is my wedding gift: I put here some of the tracks I selected for this occasion. I couldn’t put the whole wedding playlist, as I selected more than 200 tracks i.e. almost 14 hours of music.

I hope you’ll like it!

 

Découvrez The Mamas And Papas!

 

I wish lots of love and happiness to the happy couple!

Shall we dance??

This week, I asked my memoir tutor, Fred, to have a look on my blog and tell me how to improve it.
He recommends me to put audio playlist… And he send me this video as a good example for my future playlists…

BOOMBOX from Ely Kim on Vimeo.

Thank you Fred for this very interesting advice! I will consider your proposition only if YOU dance on the video!! ^^

Anyway, I have to admit it’s an interesting way to present a playlist!!

Any volunteers??

Back To School

It happens generally once or twice/year: I am in a « Back to School » mood, and I restart listening to the old rock bands I used to love when I was a teenager.

The beginning of the 90s was characterized by the rise of grunge and alternative rock into the mainstream. The 90's was definitively a very rich and creative period

 

The Grunge was an incredible revolution for most of the teenagers, who discovered new kind of role models, more human, more desperate - really close to the teenage mood (you know the world is against you… By the world I mean the parents, the school…).

 

 

They showed the kids that there was a new way to express ourselves. After all, they were just like us and we felt we could relate to them. I remember how many of my friends were trying to create a band, playing in their garage. I tried to create one too (…well actually two: one was called Plump – grunge- and the other one Duckf****** - metal).

 

It was an amazing period for all the music teacher who saw their training courses full of desperate kids who needed to learn how to play guitar, drum, and bass to express themselves… and well to be cool, to get all the girls!

And later, Pop-Punk bands have replaced the grunge bands, and were followed by metal and nu-metal bands . That was a mental period.

Teachers and parents started to get really worried to see these angry and taciturn kids wearing baggy jeans, dog collars and chains, turning into pierced freaks, hanging around with other kids with long hair with a devil look in the eyes, listening to inaudible music consisting of loud guitars and generally a singer screaming like a mental case.

 

With grunge, kids were desperately screaming out “please help me I’m drowning down”.
With metal they were just saying “F*** You! We’re screwed!” We tried to find a way to survive and face our anger among hopeless and meaningless visions of the future with our pals, drinking beer and supporting the local bands that performed on crappy stages!
