The Disco 100-#20-#11: You Can Dance…For Inspiration
Now it’s getting really hot. This is the point in the countdown where you’re flailing wildly on the dance floor, completely oblivious to the fact that the rest of the crowd has stopped dancing and they’re staring at you, marvelling at your flopping around like a dead fish. You may have taken off your shirt at this point. Or your pants. In case you missed them, here’s the last ten entries in the countdown . Now, let’s move forward. Anyone care to venture a guess as […]

The Disco 100 #40-#31: No Stoppin'!
In case ya missed ’em, here’s the previous ten songs in the countdown . So, we’re hitting the sweet spot-we’re in the Top 40. One thing I notice as I’m looking back on these songs is that it kinda sucks that I was a little kid when these records came out. I never got to experience Studio 54 or The Paradise Garage. Not that I would have been a huge clubgoer-that scene just never really did a lot for me. But I think things were different […]
The Disco 100: Uh Oh, The Record Skipped (#70-61)
Um-something weird happened. I’m doing something really nerdy with my iTunes library. Thanks to a tip I found in a comment section on Popdose (by the way, Jeff and Jason, I had a dream the other day in which we all moved in together-WEIRD), I have decided to update every song in my library that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 with it’s chart position. I did not realize that futzing around with my library was going to affect my playlist, […]

The Disco 100 Part 1: Below the Funk
On the MisenPOPic Radio podcast yesterday, my buddy Mikey chatted some about his affinity for lists, some of which he has already put up on his own website . I’m a list guy as well, although maybe not to the extent he is. One of the lists he put up on his site was the 100 best disco songs of all time, and I have to admit: I saw “Disco Duck” on that list and I subconsciously felt like I was being […]
