Need your music skillz

[emilo]

Heyo. I'm in this ipod battle this friday at my school, and I need some help with some killa azz traxxx. The crowd is 18yo semi-hipsters.. Im looking for songs in the likes of bomfunk mc's -freestyler, Van Halen - jump, Elton John - Im still standing, justice and stuff like that. So basically, old school hits or stuff people can go wild to... Suggestions bitches!

What's an "ipod battle" ?

And how is Elton John semi-hipster?

[mellowbonsai]

you go to school with semi-hipsters/jerks?

download any album listed on metacritic's top 10 of any year

den play doze frosh traxxx atchyo highskool "ipod-battle" (a curious, technologically exclusionary ceremony if ive ever heard one), den u win battle, den u dance ironikly w/frienz n dence witdat gurl u been tryin 2 freak 4 yearz but she dont rly like u dat way n hav awkward talk bout it l8er @ denny'z whn prom b ovr

For God's sake, include "Your Love" by The Outfield, "Freaks Come Out at Night" by Whodini, and "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club.

keep going with elton john, can't lose. candle in the wind is a good one to get the room revved up. although you could argue that's a bit played out. maybe try the goodbye england's rose version for an unexpected crowd-pleasing twist.

exposedddd

[mellowbonsai]

noggro u'ontevenknow who safran foer b or wut scintillating means

i mean, if youre looking for anything in a more dance-y contemporary realm that has more of a universal pop appeal (especially among 18yo semi-hipster) try junior boys, the knife, the rapture, daft punk

for "old school", rifle through the discography of depeche mode, devo, kraftwerk, maybe if you want to throw any hip-hop in there goodie mob (they might recognize a particular someone's voice), outkast circa playalistic, ugk, beastie boys, vanilla ice (so you can feed that hipster irony habit), and theres a killer track out from nicholas renshaw you can use as your last song

IPOD BATTLE?? REALLY?

[gramps]

So during an Ipod battle, what do you do? Like after you've clicked "play". Do you just stand there? Do you break dance?

I bought this calender for my friend's stepdaughter and a Rudy Giuliani calender for my brother. (The slogan for January 2008 was "Rudy Awakening.")

They argued over who got the better calender, but I think it was apparent who won: they both did.

[jpgm]

clearly your brother won.

nice tags for this thread by the way.
