AP RedThis the same club?
October 26th 2008 20:14
Actually went out Friday night when my friends wanted to go out and party. Not a party type of guy but you have to hang out with your friends whenever you can. So we hopped a train to NYC and went to a couple of clubs.
Seeing as how my drink of choice is pepsi/club soda my memories of the night are pretty accurate. Clubs in NYC are a very ecclectic mix. The first one we went to was relatively quiet and a place to grab a bite before really going out. Light rock played (not blared) while we had some sandwiches and drinks in a booth. After we were done, we went to a more techno type of place with the different colored lights reflecting off the mist/smoke in the air. And the last club we went to was similar to the techno club except more people.
Here is where I earn my geek card. I could talk about rolling with my friends. I could talk about a really hot girl that asked me what my nationality was. I could talk about the various hot/drunk girls that appeared/disappeared/reappear ed/showed up everywhere. Instead, I'm gonna make an observation about the music.
Is it just the clubs I was in or is every club stuck in some kind of time warp?
I heard versions of Pop that Coochie (2 Live Crew?), Baby got Back and This is how we do it (Montell Jordan) and other songs from the early 90s. Some were remixed and some were the original tracks. They all made me want to look for a calender cause I thought I fell through a time warp and went back to grade school.
The DJs also seem to have a fondness for songs in the clubs from my college years. I heard Hey Ya at all three places. Heard techno remixes from Nsync/Diddy/et all. Probably half the play lists played songs from that time.
Now I expect a little to a lot of nostalgia when I'm out at a club, but didn't expect it to feel exactly like when I was a freshman in college. I was half expecting to get carded. Is it because DJs are my age or even older? Is it that music today doesn't fit into the club scene?
Just throwing that out there. Wasn't there to dance or anything and it didn't stop me from having a good time. Not a regular on the club scene so it just seemed odd that it seemed the same as in the early part of this decade. Or maybe its just me and I wanted to feel older/more evolved. Oh well.
