Goldfrapp is perfect. Use her all at the time.
Ooh lala is one of my all time fave shagging tracks
... doesn't matter where I am, whenever I hear the opening bars my body just goes 'woo helloooo....'!! It's like pavlov's dogs
So yeah....I have Supernature & Black Cherry on the go when I'm working; also REM, LittleBoots, Bjork (debut), The Gossip (Standing in The Way of Control is a great for a bit of a strip show imnsho
- see also: INXS Need You Tonight & Led Zeppelin Black Dog=Soooo goooood!) I'm a big Prince fan as well; doesn't matter if I'm stripping, shagging or hoovering the living room
Though for work I always stick to his more popular albums & Greatest Hits as some of his later stuff is arguably quite self indulgent & weird lol
Ooh and also lots of Blondie - Ms Harry & Co *always* make me feel upbeat & sexy.... Their generic Greatest Hits seems to be popular with clients & actually now I think about it, more than a few regs call me 'blondie' anyway so playing their music has become a bit of a nod to my hair...
Ive got quite a distinctive cut & it's almost white given I've been bleaching the absolute crap out of it for years haha!
Being a 90s teenager means I have a fair bit of Britpop on the go as well (Pulp, OCS, Oasis, Elastica Suede etc- what I refer to as "my" era lol) I have much older siblings so I grew up listening to- and still have an appreciation for- all manner of 70s & 80s stuff (
...gotta love the 80s man!!) and from a young age my Dad had me listening to Bowie, Zeppelin, Free, Cream, Dire Straits etc... Oh and er... Seasick Steve...
Hehe
(love him tho... I do!!)- so it's probably fair to say I've got a wide ranging taste which is handy as always seem to have something to suit my male visitors
I had one guy who insisted on spending over 20 mins of *his* 1hr booking ripping *my* entire CD collection to shreds before finally opting for ... Best of Enya (lol...I know man wtf!!! Acquired, incidentally for a film project I was involved with years ago that I forgot to return to the library...Ooops!)
Anyway, he blew his load unexpectedly during OWO so now whenever I hear that bloody Orinoco Flow it evokes that now indelible memory of spunk shooting ever so elegantly out of my nostrils....Wahahaha! Aye thanks for that mate....He must've had a thing for pan pipes or summit...
The majority of my clients tend to be in their 40s/50s and I've found so far that Rock, Mod, Ska, Punk (Stiff Little Fingers, Dexys, The Specials, The Cure, The Jam, Squeeze, Clash, Undertones, Sham 69, Gen X etc) seem to be really popular & I hear a lot of "ooh this takes me back...." type of comments ...*ponders* I wonder if that has a positive effect on the booking as I've noticed quite a few guys remarking that they feel "younger" or "young again" after a good hard half hour/hour in the sack...??
....possibly a bit like Heston Blumenthals 'multi sensory' approach to creating an 'experience' (lol don't mind me, I often muse about this kinda thing...then again I'm *probably* a bit odd
)
And yes I know I am old fashioned mostly because I just get hugely irritated by tech when it "goes wrong" (aka when I'm doing something wrong)
& I'd imagine the sight/sound of me chucking a hissy- fit is never gonna be the greatest for business...
So being a bit of a luddite, I far prefer my old faithful, easy-peasy Sony 6-disc changer Stack
- "inherited" when I moved into my flat yonks ago (Cheers Previous Tenant
)
Fookin' hell....
Can anyone tell I'm procrastinating....
! lol I only intended to make a quick post
