Most of the songs I can think of it's already listed. But here's a few more:

Too Marvelous For Words (they said something about food in there) - Ella w/ Nelson Riddle

Chop Suey Chow Mein - Louis Prima & Keely Smith

C'est Si bon - Ann Margret

I don't know if anybody had mentioned this already. But I listen to other people's Live365 and write down what I like and do investigation that way. I also research artists and thank goodness of places like iTunes that lets you sample them. Then I go to amazon or half.com to try to get them. And eve...

I have several awesoem songs that has a long intro, and I usually just cue straight into the good part. Of course, hoping to put it on MP3 format and cut out the slow parts because there's some good stuff in the beginning, and as Jesse said will pay off. If you think about it, 30sec is long for a so...

10% and growing great dancing music from soundtracks.

Current favs: Baby it's Cold Outside - Ray Charles version Drop me off in Harlem - Victrola (Austin's own) St' James Infirmary - from Metropolis Soundtrack Murder, He Says - surprisingly Tori Amos (from Mona Lisa Smile Soundtrack) the Dinah Shore version wasn't that impressive, though I was told tha...

Has anyone looked into hiring students from the music school at UH? Here's a clip of their jazz orchestra: http://www.uh.edu/music/audio/jazz_syeeda.html The director's name is Noe Marmolejo , and it looks like his email address is noemarm@mac.com (ph: 713 743-3191) (he could probably hook you up w...

As a novice DJ, I hate to say anything that is not necessary true. But, my situation is that I stumble upon the role of a DJ. I started a venue that ask people what they want. At first, I don't want to bear the responsibilty of reading the crowd. Hence, they can tell me how to run that show, especia...

Kalman, I was going to say the same thing...

If he's flexible, At Last seems to be pretty popular for that occasion. Of course, there's nothing wrong with some of the nice, upbeat, instrumentals too.

Well, if it worked out that's good. I accidently played the wrong song that's really fast at 4am at an exchange. And people stared at me like I'm crazy, I just said that since peopel think Houston dance fast, just giving you a taste. I got mix reactions. There's people that danced to it, and there's...

Many (if not all) of these are available on emusic. I downloaded a good lot of 'em before they became capitalists trying to be a profitable company (bastards). There's still good info/previews available by going to emusic.com, choosing "label" in the search parameter drop-down box, and ty...

Well, unless I got a cool little powerbook, it's hard to lug 2 devices around. But I understand the not being able to preview thing. Personally, as backwards as it may sound, I actually still carry my CDs with me. But in case I have missed something, esp. buying stuff from iTunes and not have time t...

I was reading part of the Laptop DJing, and I was thinking... Is it better to DJ w/ an iPod or a Laptop? Personally, I've been DJing w/ my iPod for a little over a year now. I found it easy to do w/ 20 gig. You may not have the full information but as long as you tag it properly it's pretty cool...

Well, every season I have something different...

Summer: Summertime (Chris Connor)
Winter: Baby, it's cold outside

Hey, it's Texas, we only get 2 seasons.

For a while I identified alot w/ Love me and Leave me so I got alot of versions of that song. Nowadays I'm just searching for something good.

Well, in restuarants, they prolly just go to Pottery Barn and buy a compliation, and play it over and over and call that background music. The music is not toe-tapping because people want you to have an enjoyable meal, but on the other hand, not to put them to sleep. To the jazz-ignorant, you have t...

No, no, thank you guys for letting us play around. Funny how you tummy is filled with junk food & cola and still can dance and lose weight at the same time!

Sorry I had to miss the CD shopping, but I am looking forward to next year already!
