Not alternative as in :goth:, alternative as in stuff that is good party music but which you don't often hear. I'm thinking a party needs to happen soon and I want a soundtrack.


So far I have "Odelay" or "Midnite Vultures" (I like it, okay?), "Thunder Lightning Crash" or whatever it's called by The Go! Team, and "Night Ripper" by Girl Talk, which may be the best party album ever.

Suggestions?

I like Midnite Vultures too, and it certainly went down well at parties in our flat in about 1999. Reputation means nothing.
Admittedly, Yoko Ono went down pretty well too once we were all trashed and you could put pretty much anything on. Milli Vanilli on a slightly overspeed cassette player wasn't a total dead loss.

If people are trying to out-extreme you, chuck on some Diamanda Galas. And fucking dance to it, and pretend you're having fun even if you're not.

Weezer is a bit obvious, but ideal for parties. Especially in 1996.

I escaped somehow. Let's go

actualy [sic] I have quite a blessed life if I'm honest. I have many people to love, hate few and have few money problem's [sic].... What more does a person need? Oh yeah and I have some kind of humbleness unlike you of course ^_^ ~ CarefulCarpenter

Much though I've tried, I just can't find anything to like about Diamanda Galas. But nah, if I want to have an "out-extreme-ing" session, I can do that easy. I have Michael Chion, innit. I'm talking stuff that chicks broadly speaking aren't going to complain about, and if they do, at least half of the room is going to think they're being a dick for it. So not Daughters, basically.

even non music people seem to like fujiya & miyagi, ive put it on at one party and we got through the whole album twice. collarbone was the biggest hit.
