It was some bullshit. And I imagine the movie themes were played during cocktail hour/dinner. Or, at least, I hope so.

I was best man at my friend's wedding back in April and there was an old waiter who kept coming to me specifically and bringing me old fashioneds the entire time. It was awesome. I also enjoy beer and white Russians. Alcohol can be pretty cool.

Our DJ was cool. We gave him like three or four songs he had to play at certain times (only thing I specifically remember was Funkadelic's "Can You Get to That" played as the doors were opened for reception), gave him a list of like 20-30 songs we liked as an idea, then told him to run with it, take anyone's requests, and just otherwise play whatever he felt was cool at the time. It also probably helped that when we called him up, the first thing I asked was him to name fifteen or twenty songs he would want at his wedding, then basically told him he was the man for us (no idea what songs he picked, all I cared about was that it wasn't total crap and that he felt like we wanted him to be involved). We got no chicken dance or any other crap, he played a lot of requests, and everyone was happy. We also only had fifty people at our wedding, told him to help himself to the food and bar, and specifically pointed out our friend before the ceremony who had his cash and tip so that he knew exactly who had his payment (I wasn't going to pay attention to that as the night went on). Edit: actually there was one complaint. My wife's grandmother told us after the wedding that the music was terrible (she repeated "terrible" many times for emphasis). She has some memory issues, though, so I was just happy that she remembered she was there. Voodoofly fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Our DJ played most of Rubber Soul near the end of the reception. Also, I think bourbon is horrible except for Jack. If I order an old fashioned, I ask for it to be substituted. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Actually, the only thing I regret about our wedding music was that we didn't do a bouquet toss, so we missed out at playing Lour Reed's "Vicious" as all the ladies lined up for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM9JG-oQm1Y

I DJed my cousin's wedding reception several years ago. He made the playlist, but he likes good music, so it included stuff like string quartet covers of Radiohead and Coheed & Cambria songs, Daft Punk and Thievery Corporation. It was a ton of fun. I just chilled on stage for a few hours playing different kinds of music while people brought me food and drinks. A bunch of people made requests, most of them terrible poo poo that I didn't even have, but some of them were actually good so I honored them.

I wasn't really arguing with his taste, just pointing out that he basically sounds like a time traveller v  vOn an unrelated note I've been watching an old 80s anime called Armored Trooper VOTOMS and uh it sure is a thing. I was digging the gently caress out of it for a while but then the female lead got kidnapped and gang raped out of nowhere. Jesus gently caress.  e: It's basically played for comedy too, what the gently caress Japan?

FishBulb posted:It pretty much is, it's all just semantics. Don't be silly. Words have meaning. (For people not familiar with American alcohol label restrictions, anything labeled bourbon has to come from Kentucky, Jack Daniels is made in Tennessee. Hilariously, America is one of the few western countries that doesn't require drinks labeled Champagne to come from the Champagne region of France, so many of your finer gas stations will have bottles of something call "American Champagne" for 3 bucks.) Ignoring that, if your favorite bourbon-esque liquor is Jack Daniels, I assume your only other experience with it is something that came in a giant plastic jug. Edit: I double checked, and apparently it's not required for bourbon to be made in Kentucky, but I can't think of a single bourbon readily available that isn't from Kentucky. Jack Daniel's goes out of it's way to call itself "Kentucky Whiskey" so if you think it's a terrible replacement for bourbon, you shouldn't call it bourbon, and if you think it's better than every bourbon (because you're a lunatic, or are 17 and only have Jim Beam and Evan Williams as reference pooint) you shouldn't call it bourbon because they don't wan't to be called bourbon, they're a Tennessee Whiskey Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jul 24, 2014 |
