I see Mod action party. Then that means the DJ's must play loads of Northern soul.

Have no fear, Mickey. No

Have no fear, Mickey. No Northern Soul under my watch. Maybe some kickin reggae cuts. Mods liked reggae right?

WE should. Proceeds go to the purchase and fitting of a communal hairpiece, for the aged rock. Or sweatpants. Oh lordy, I'll supply the sweatpants.

One of the only two times I ever won anything (and I don't even remember what the other thing was, but I'm pretty sure there's two) was at a Sleestacks show where they had a raffle. I won a Gevalia coffeemaker! And the reason I got a sitter and was out that night was to celebrate the completion of a 10-page research term paper on coffee. That was also my first Sleestacks show. And the first time I saw Nay-Nay with no glasses, he was cute!

Raffle off your Godawful Xmas gifts. Oooh, red satin Playboy pj pants!

I am wearing the same old Kmart tacky ass clothes that I always wear.

Everybody must be from the Bond, James Bond, 007 world, but ending with “Diamonds Are Forever,” which happens to be the starting point of the lame Bond soundtracks. Enforce the eccentric dress code.

I'm covered.

Eccentric dress code is totally mandatory. Look, a Santa hat! Cue the drum & fief & saw band, zany.

northern soul

Submitted by dingey on Tue, 12/12/2006 - 5:37pm.

No! Early reggae yes! NORTHERN SOUL, guh. I don't ever need to hear another "soul" track fronted by a xylophone. Why does "Northern Soul" always seem to indicate dull sub-Motown stuff? Am I just jaded?

"GUH"? This from the person

Submitted by Kapn on Wed, 12/13/2006 - 10:52am.

"GUH"? This from the person driven crazy by Chris Clark's "Love Gone Bad"? Mods without Tamla-Motown are like, um… mods without pills. Sub-standard "Northern Soul" got to get the vibraphones back to Motown, but I hope some of the DJ's find it in their hearts and collections to play us some of the Motor City's finest. "Big Chill" did to Motown what "Legend" did to reggae (right on Dingey, let's rock that "Train to Skaville" - and "007" is a must!).

I'm a-really gonna enjoy costumes.

costumes uh I think yall have your holidays mixed up. This is New Years Eve, not Halloween!!!!!

shucks

Submitted by dingey on Wed, 12/13/2006 - 12:22pm.

Don't get me wrong. You know I'm not a soul h8tr. it's just that i made the mistake of picking up a few comps labelled things like "WORLD'S GREATEST NORTHERN SOUL!!!!" that were dull dull dull. I assume that "northern soul" refers more to the clubs in England that favored the cuts than the actual location of the performers….am I right?!

correct. I was thinking

Submitted by Samantha Stephens on Wed, 12/13/2006 - 12:45pm.

correct. I was thinking more of 60's Northern soul, thats what the original mods dug!!!!! Its just called Northern cause if was loved in Northern England

Actually, Northern Soul DOES

Submitted by Kapn on Wed, 12/13/2006 - 4:33pm.

Actually, Northern Soul DOES refer to where the music was made - soul produced in Motown, but also Chicago (like Curtis Mayfield productions), Philly, NYC, etc., is Northern Soul… Stax, Hi, Excello, etc., are Southern Soul brands. Original mods are usually referrin' to Tamla-Motown, Wigan Casino-to-present fanatics refer to Northern Soul. The original WC DJs looked for the rarest-ass stuff to play (they saved Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You" from oblivion - that is a FINE groove, Chris Clark did a version too), pickin' acetates, promo-only, lotsa cuts from super-tiny also-ran labels, which might have released some gems but were more likely releasing cuts that were only OK. Lots of "Essential Detroit Collections" and "Greatest Northern Soul Ever" comps trottin' out a few of those key cuts surrounded by lesser shots at the big time!

Great fuckin' flyer by the way.

James Bond theme

Submitted by redstarwraith on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 2:04am.

The way I see it, I have one of two options. Either I can eat like a BASTARD between now and then and go as Odd Job or I can cut myself off at the knees and go as Nick Knack. Decisions, decisions . . .

Music and Costumes

Submitted by Nathan on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 7:09pm.

I am confident that everyone that comes out will be beautiful and appropriate in their own inappropriate ways. Nothing is ever mandatory. Don't you just know it? I will be glittery and gold. I will be in sync with all sorts of themes. Many people will just plain show up, off the street and into our arms. They will be tipsy and goofy and happy. If not, we will help them get there. 2006 is the bald pony that wouldn't die. Guess what? It's going to. At midnight, I will kick that year clear to Teapot Dome.

Furthermore, the hand-picked disc jockeys will certainly not disappoint you. You've gotta have faith. Those guys know what they're doing. You might feel some sort of outrage, because the words describing all this don't match what you really want (soul or northern soul or ska or reggae or raga or ambient stomata or hyphy or dancehall or shovehate or dub or emo or biscuit-polisher or punter or bin-dovetail or dankhaven or deathcore or murderpunk or cialis or protocarpenters or whatever).

Shove a bunch of adjectives together and drive that train up your ass.

Harpy New Year!

Only those with eye patches

Submitted by Arthur on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 8:18pm.

Only those with eye patches will be allowed in. If you squint from one eye, you’ll be cool as well.

I know the DJs are gonna be

Submitted by Kapn on Fri, 12/15/2006 - 11:25am.

I know the DJs are gonna be sweet - they made me a dancin’ fule last year - whatever gets spun shall be dynamite! I mean, it’s not like the Sinatras are all of a sudden gonna do all mod covers, or perform the entirety of “The Who Sing My Generation”… or WILL we?

speaking of that....

Submitted by dingey on Fri, 12/15/2006 - 11:35am.

Sincerely,

Yoko Mama

P.S. Aw, come on….go ahead and cover "My Generation"…I've already heard you do several of those numbers! I want THE OX!
