Music should be quiet, because I can guarantee you that in a room of 30 people, very few of them will agree on what they want to hear. I think you will find that it's easier to kill a night with music people don't like than it is to get the party rocking with the tunes.
What's particularly annoying is when someone winds up the music, just because they think it's fantastic and gets them in the mood. I doubt many people would want to hear what I might fancy - a spot of Slayer, or Anal Cunt's LP anyone? No, I thought not.
That'll be about as alluring to some people as that Jamaican racket is pounding out (I have no idea what it is called, but it's fucking awful, and I'm sure many people reading this will know exactly what stuff I mean.)
And when some pissed up woman is grinding herself up against a pole trying to be "sexy", it is only really bearable if you like that music - I couldn't give a toss if Elle McPherson was dancing away to the aforementioned Jamaican shite, I'd be thinking about going home, not how sexy she was. Let her dance to "Crazy Bitch", however, and my blood would start pounding...
Music and sex is a primal thing, it is either going to get juices flowing or kill the mood (and I'm sure I can find cites for this), and we really all do have different reactions to it. With such a small cross-section of people who might be at a party, the chances of everyone thinking being of one mind about "good music" are practically nil.
For my money, I'd go for those double cd compilations of "Chillout" music, even "Classical Chillout" or perhaps even the cds of music from adverts (yes, really) - most people know them, can tolerate them, they will play along in the background without pissing anyone off, and anyway, the tracks are only a few minutes long apiece.
Better that than imposing your, anyone else's, or my tastes on people who, at the end of the day, aren't there for a musical soiree... |
