one that'll get you on the dancefloor no matter how tired or bloated with cheap lager you feel?
Apart from Party Hard, obvs.

Indie Disco™'s
are horrible places that you can rarley dance in but I guess...ummmmm..... I really can't think of an Indie Disco™ hit that would get me dancing.... aint thsoe places just for cheap booze slightly less erritating music than main stream Disco™'s and trying to pick up Indie Chicks™?
^is
this for real? christ
deceptacon
le tigre
^ seconded
^ thirded
is really annoying
i was thinking earlier about how Indie Disco™ it is. See also: Devo - Whip It.
*Bookmarks thread for ideas
International Bright Young Thing by Jesus Jones
info freako
much better!
.
Debaser by Pixies
Deceptacon by Le Tigre
Life During Wartime by Talking Heads
rebellion (lies)
wolf like me or tribulations
these would only get played at a good indie disco though
Wolf Like Me
Seconded. 'Tis a fantastic song to dance to. See also the MSTRKRFT remix of Two More Years and Mixed Bizness by Beck.
thirded
Fourded
fifthded?
Common People by Pulp
Holds a special place amongst my social circle.
^
For ever.
And Disco 2000.
^^ "True Dat"
But also Lipgloss.
Every time it's played, I'll be dancing til the sweat repels even the most desperate members of the opposite sex. Sadly.
joe - www.anewbandaday.com
House of Jealous Lovers
if it's an indie disco - otherwise, Amerie's 'One Thing' or R Kelly's 'Ignition.
This
.
DFA1979 'Death On Our Hands (Justice Remix)'
I loved playing this song at uni sooo much
It was at just the right frequency to make the building actually shake
Suede - Stay Together
We're talking 'end of night fun' yeah?
Every Indie Disco™ that I have been to plays non of this stuff
are you lot making it up? Or do I have to find a better one hidden somewhere?
You need to come to Something Serious
is that in London Village?
Sadly yes
No where else in the world will you hear Justice mixed into Bruce Springsteen
well maybe 2 Many DJ's would do that
but yeah that sounds like a Indie Disco worth going to.
The ones I have been to are full of pretty much chart Indie and well just crap :(
Fuck the Pain Away.
Kandy Pop - BIS
or Temple Of Love by the SISTERS OF MERCY (better be the original version, mind)
What about your answer harru?
I'm thinking.
Stone Roses LOL?
test icilcles - circle sqaure triangle or whatever way round it is
wolf like me
romantic rights
one armed scissor
One Armed Scissor FTW
This was the song I most looked forward too hearing at this pub used to go to.
I've never played One Armed Scissor
I'm always worried it's too heavy
Yeah, I guess it is really.
good djs will play it
i know one who lures people in with the chart stuff, then busts it out!
one armed scissor gets my vote
unless i can think of anything else.
Le Disco Avec Moi
only the usual suspects:
Deceptacon
Blood On Our Hands
Romantic Rights
This Charming Man
Wolf Like Me
etc.
hello kitten - hefner
ftw
mr your on fire mr
by liars is also great
^^
this, yes!
Oh
Hell yes. But what indie disco is playing it?
That was in reference to Hello Kitten
Not the Liars track which I haven't heard but I'm sure is great
i'd go
painting and kissing, but hefner always works!
For an indie disco it has to be
The Only One I Know.
That's not my favourite song of all time by any means, but you can't beat it at an old-skool indie disco...
I'm singing it in my head
and reckon it would be quite hard to dance to.
It like when I try and dance to QOTSA 'No-one Knows' and you get a bit stuck half way through. Just me?
what, on the bass solo?
time for air bass solo.
^ this ^this
100 times ^this
hmmm maybe I should go
out dancing with you guys and you can teach me some moves :(
I read that as
The one and only for a second! ha ha
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
Touch Me I'm Sick - Mudhoney (more indie discos need to play this)
^ it's shocking how little i've heard either at discos
i play both
on occasion
I want to dance with you.
also:
Pixies - Hey
MSP - Motorcycle Emptiness
whitney houston?
whitney vs the jams is a good one!
You'd have to tango to motorcycle emptiness
it's not really dancey
I just stand at the edge of the dancefloor
and sing along really.
^ not at all true
oxford zodiac indie disco
stone roses - i am the resurrection
charlatans - only one i know
ocean colour scene - riverboat song
reef - put your hands on
rage - killing in the name of
etc, etc, etc
no shit, and we used to play disco bingo and guess which was up next!
Killing In The Name Of is a good one.
maybe
but not every single week, for years on end. and they did pretty much play the same shit week in, week out.
i haven't been since C*r*i*g took it over but I guess it's the same.
carling academy oxford
you also forgot the wannadies and hole
Atlas by Battles always makes me want to dance.
that's awesome fun to dance to.
I'm always worried about playing it late on though as some people might hate it
fuck em!
and it's not being self indulgent by playing battles. do you get people asking requests too, most of which ar S T U P I D.
I was aksed if I had any Bobby Brown once...
Yep tons
I had a guy ask for Primal Scream 15 times in an hour, despite me telling him the first time I had no Primal Scream.
Some girl kept asking for a specific Cribs b side
A lady came up to me and said
You got any ska?
Sadly not?
Got any reggae, you know, proper reggae?
No I'm afraid not
Got any Red Hot Chilli Peppers?
Some gay guy kept shouting "Play Kylie BITCH" at me, because obviously when you're gay you can be abusive to people and we're supposed to laugh it off
Oh and getting asked for the Killers at 8pm
I mean calm down love!
followed by, or preceded by
The Crunch by The Rah Band
Liam Lynch - United States of Whatever
I think we just agreed on some music
Amazing scenes
:D
YAY!
banquet
by bloc party.
or house of jealous lovers. or the people don't dance no more one which is JUST AS GOOD.
or one of those we are scientists songs.
or... yeah, why not, deceptacon.
that was NOT me
that was my handle-thieving boyfriend and i want to dissociate myself from those suggestions.
apart from deceptacon.
dissociate yourself from WAYUH by the rapture?!?
MADNESS!
Voodoo Ray
Guy Called Gerald
good call
what a tune that is... surly it would move any floor known to man kind.
Probably the best 2 minutes of indie disco-ing
would be spent listening to Blur's Song 2
The Sweat Descends
I've never heard this in a club ever
I blame clubs being LAAAAAAAME
^
even Patty Lee, at least!
I've played The Sweat Descends almost every time I DJ
usually goes down quite well.
As do
TV Eye - The Stooges
Just like heaven - The Cure
The Rat - The Walkmen (mentioned below)
It's getting boring by the sea - BRS
All these things that I've done - Killers
Tash - Suede
Stutter - Elastica
with my personal favourite, but regular dancefloor killer
Time - Marion
Wolf like me is great though. Instant floorfiller.
^Trash
Also, sentence structure of the subject line NOT GOOD.
Can i have a slow dance to Shed Seven's Chasing Rainbows please?...
I also vote for..
..Wolf Like Me.
And :
Delays - Valentine
Suede - Animal Nitrate
Blood Red Shoes
"You Bring Me Down" is pretty suited for indie disco's and I think a lot of the "box of secrets" would go down quite well also Maximo Park "Apply Some Pressure"
I always find one of these works
Atomic / Rock Lobster / Junior Kickstart / Yeah (Crass Version) / Salt Sweat Sugar
Has to be House of Jealous Lovers
really, hasn't got old yet somehow. This Charming Man gets close second.
Stay Away From Me
by Smash My Brother's Face In
years later
and Mr Brightside still sends me flying towards the dancefloor
beautiful ones
by suede
heartbeats by the knife
ready for the floor by hot chip
thank god boston has a decent indie dance night! :)
The Rat
shirley....
^This x10
The way the singer's anger builds up gradually throughout the song gets everyone going.
And don't call me surely
Interpol
Slow Hands - my jeans almost fell down jumping around on the dancefloor to this one.
the boy with the arab strap
Sunshine underground
everytime :D
!
Oh yeeah! Especially Borders <3
Sigue Sigue Sputnik
Love Missile F-11
Keep em coming peeps!
And for the ledger
My signiture track is Erol Alkan's remix of Do You Want To? mixed into the actual track. It sounds tops.
I also like playing Peaches by the Presidents of the USA

Peacebone is common practise
in fact his list is pretty much spot on to me

Everybody left
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
Makes me think I can dance like an angel
Float On
Modest Mouse
Always get a cheer from the dancefloor when that's dropped.

Bobby Conn - Never Get Ahead
the
rat - walkmen gets the nod
some great tunes i've forgotten about in this list! nice work
back in my days
it used to be
Pure Morning
I Think I'm Paranoid
Disco 2000
Beautiful Ones
Creep
Alright
Friday I'm In Love

I Heart The Valley OH!
Indie disco classic.

dot dash <3
I hit my head on the cieling at dot dash to it once :(
(still my actual favourite memory of dancing at indie clubnights)
why has there been no dot dashing for ages now?
it's sad :(
i heard brian the vampire at an indie disco (tm) once
it was AMAZING.
also, i nominate Killing in the Name of. and Party Hard. PARTYHARDPARTYHARDPARTYHARD!
Oh Tom

the fucking macarena if i'd had enough to drink.....
psycho killer.
Qu'est-ce que c'est

Anything by DFA1979
But not:
Gold Lion
Standing in the bla bla
Seven Nation Army
This said, I've not been to a proper indie club since about March 07.
Let me add
The Only One I Know
and
She Bangs The Drums
and
LSF/Processed Beats/Reason is Treason/Shoot The Runner
Shoot The Runner wins from the Kasabiollocks trax
Gold Lion doesnt get played anymore
eversince they realised Date With The Night and Cheated Hearts are better
But does the Diplo remix of Gold Lion get played ever?
It should, that shit is good. But Cheated Hearts is best.
My vote goes to W.A.Y.U.H by The Rapture.
New Order - Temptation
Hot Chip - Over & Over (ctrl-f suggests everyone must be bored of it... I will never tire of sweating to this)
Radio 4 - Dance to the Underground
also, Looper - Mondo 77
and, in a perfect world, Ooberman - Blossoms Falling into Shorley Wall as the lights go up.
BABY WE WERE BOOOOOOOOOOORN TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
hole
rage against the machine
machinehead
starship

MOP - ANTE UP

that link is rubbish unless you scroll up a bit
hearting someone because they agree with you on a trivial issue is probably a bit forward. I should be asleep.
refused - new noise
pixies - debaser
presidents of the USA - peaches
busted - year 3000
ATD-I - one armed scissor
Daydreamer - Menswear
Or Shine On - House Of Love
