Comment:

mid-dec. 2003 -- For some reason, a Christmas mix for Anne became a dance CD. The title comes from a comment about our old girl's evolution from an asexual do-gooder to a caged go-go dancer at Oberlin College. Not necessarily all songs to dance to, but certainly about dancing. Equally enjoyable for booty-shaking or headphones contemplation. Starts off with one of the sickest riffs in the Jimmy Page catalogue, right on through some rock-solid club numbers, to a little 70s glam/androgynous love triangle, the ladies finally getting a voice (probably my favorite Madonna track, if only for the weirdly perfect music video that accompanies it), Leonard Cohen channeling Lorca in a heaven-hell of mal de siFcle, an unassuming Elton John classic (you mean he just sings the song twice?), the best faux-glam aria ever (perhaps not danceable per se, but voguing in and out of pouty postures is pretty fun times), nighttime slow-dances, Polly Jean doing her undeniable THANG, a word from her seducer ("the answer was become a Dancer"), and finally, a most angelic waltz. Technical note: mad thanks to iTunes 4 for giving greater freedom when it comes to time elapses between songs.

I dig it. Elton, Leonard Cohen, a great Van Morrison track, a great starting song... classics and new stuff. Nice job!

Nice! Extra points in my book for the addition of "Hot One," and double extra points for getting Prince and The Velvet Underground on one mix.
