I find that dancing a song here and there throughout the night sometimes helps me understand how the dancers are feeling. It gets me closer to their physical state (increased heart-rate, buckets of sweat, etc.). Then, I'm much more attuned to what could be fun for the next song. The catch is that I'...

I had another code that got me to the point of downloading - without signing up to pay money. If I remember correctly (it's been...

<obvious-but-worth-noting>Keep in mind songs that slow down and/or mellow out between the beginning and end. Some older ones do that. I don't remember exactly which ones, but I think there are some early Basie and maybe Bennie Moten. Erskine Hawkins's songs actually do the opposite very often. They'...
