Salutations, traveler of The Internets! Welcome to William's Bloody Hell, so named after our founder, Sir Bloody William.
He is seen in the likeness above in a rare, 19th century woodcut. This
image was rumoured to have been
commissioned after a bout of unpleasantness
in the White Chapel district of London. Do enjoy your stay and peruse our many, varied offerings, much of which cannot be found elsewhere!
:: Today's soundtrack: New Order "Round & Round" ::
I was eating dinner at a fancy restaurant a little while ago. It was one of those nice place that has an "event" room in it that people can rent out for things, and in this case it was a wedding reception. Now I have been to a couple of weddings in the last few years, and I guess being removed from it this time just made me realize that I have to do the world a favor and spread this message: If you or someone you know is planning on holding a wedding reception, please, do yourself a favor and come up with a complete and comprehensive play list for your DJ!
I've noticed time and time again that nearly EVERY reception plays the same gosh darn music! EVERY ONE of them! So, if you want your celebration to stand out as a truly personalized event, please tell your DJ exactly what you want. Make SURE you're looking at him square in the eye and let him know you're serious!! In case you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a short list of songs which should heretofore be banned from all wedding receptions:
Butterfly Kisses
Lady in Red
Mambo No. 5
The Macarena
The Electric Slide
The Hokey Pokey
Swing the Mood
The Twist
Brown Eyed Girl
anything by AC/DC
Don't Stop Believing
or anything else by Journey for that matter
I Can't Fight This Feeling
Funky Town
Freak Out
Candle in the Wind
The Way You Look Tonight
Wind Beneath My Wings
You Are So Beautiful
This I Promise You
(Everything I Do) I Do it for You
I Will Always Love You
C'est La Vie
Okay, there are bound to be a few exceptions, like if you and your loved one just happened to meet at an AC/DC concert, then fine, you two may want to commemorate the night with ALL AC/DC tunes. What I'm saying is, your wedding and reception should reflect the personal tastes of you and your spouse, not the compilation of generic tunes sitting in milk crates in your DJ's van.
William (soundtrack of your life)
