Wedding moooosic.

[lasombrakate]

We're meeting with the DJ tonight to talk music, and I just need to be prepared. We don't really dance, so I just want some hip and fun mingling music. I want to go the whole reception without hearing the YMCA or the Electric Slide or any other annoying dancy type song ever

I was gonna just butt in with something like, "Can't help ya; crappy music tastes." Then I realized, you need a whole lot of music. Might as well try and fail to help.

Forgive me if I mention anything "overplayed." I don't know that sort of thing, since I never listen to the radio.
----------
Bands:

Jimmy Eat World is punkish and relatively lightweight. They might fit in.
3 Doors Down is obviously mushy rock. I feel like a wuss whenever I hear it, which is odd, because I always feel like a wuss.
Franz Ferdinand is fun, if you need to add some energy to the mix.
Sublime is a good replacement to classical music; they're both done by dead guys.
Flogging Molly when used correctly is guarenteed to confuse your relatives into thinking you're actually some weirdo granola girl pagan.

If you want to mess with people's heads, you should use the String Tribute to System Of A Down. The looks on their faces as they slowly compute the classical-sounding music is priceless.

Songs:
If You Could Only See by Tonic. Seems right.
No One Like

Only 8 days late. So what!?

I totally was thinking of that New Found Glory song, but it went on the dismissed list because I don't think my older relatives would understand. ;)

Since the wedding will be 75% old fold and 25% young folk, I think the old folk music wins.

I want to throw in some ridiculous Journey songs (so Scorpions may fit) just because it's the running joke with my brother Jeff and I. ;)
