Got a phone call from my friend who is hosting the New Wave party I'm attending this coming Saturday. He asked me if I could man (or woman :p) the "dj booth" and bring my renowned 80s music collection. All my mates know I have about 500 CDs comprising of 80s new wave, post punk and pop songs (originals and downloaded mp3's combined).
First thing I asked, "So, you thought of having a 'new wave' party and yet you don't have any CDs to play?"
My mate answered, "Well, I have a few albums! Bronski Beat, Culture Club, Wham, The Communards, Pet Shop Boys..."
Oh , did I mention that this friend of mine is gay???
I said, "Oooookayyyyy... that's not exactly new wave now, is it?"
He said, "I know, I know... but a friend of mine is lending us an audio mixer", somewhat sheepishly.
I grunted, "Some good that'll do if you don't have any music to play."
To which he finally replied in his not-so subtle bitchy gayness, "Oh, stop being such a fucking sour-puss and help me already!"
I couldn't help it. I laughed.
Only he could turn bitchyness into sheer comedy. I love him, my sweet, sweet happy man!
Of course, I'll help him out! I'm quite excited by the whole prospect of being in charge of the music! At least I'm sure there wouldn't be any shit music at the party! >grin<
Now, I have to start writing up a playlist. Can't wait!!!

Jenie,
Oh, when can I attend a similar party. I missed those New Wave house parties I attended in the lovely summers of the early '80s.
I could still hear "German Girl" reverberating in my ears...
Wo-ho-ho-ho-ho...
Wow, "German Girl!" I can't believe I didn't put that in my playlist! I know I have that mp3 somewhere... >off to search<
