NOTE: Please email me any good pics you have! Also I’ve just realized that there is no photographic evidence to suggest I actually dance at my own FlashDances 🙂 )
Gretchen works it out
Yep. That did it. FlashDance 7 was THE way to get me fully back into my life. I sooooo love you guys. That was just AWESOME. Even though it could compete with FD3 for beauty, it was my FAVORITE FlashDance so far – it was just so wacky and surprising:
The only thing missing was something stage-like for me to dance on (yes I have a problem) & ok – I think I need to get YET a bigger sound system! I JUST bought the last one – sigh.
Here are some pix from Flickr courtesy of Romel! (click on the pix for more):
 Read on to get the playlist & more thoughts…
On the musical side, I was really happy with the music. It is often hard to balance the requests from the crowd with the fact that I really don’t always want to play the same stuff, but this set was just really fun & a mix of new and old stuff I really liked. The two new Groove Armada tracks are amazing. I had forgitten how much I love The Pet Shop Boys’ “Always On My Mind.” And the response to the bhangra song “Dil Le Gayee” was fantastic & a big surprise…
Here’s the playlist – click on it to go to the iTunes store to buy some of it – for some reason iTunes doesn’t think it has some of the tracks even though they ARE there in the store – who writes that lame piece o… oh.. I do. damn. sigh… I’ll see if I can track this down & fix it – if so I’ll update the iMix)
