When I was a child in the '80s, I absorbed some kind of cultural truism that disco was ridiculous, embarrassing, cheesy, a cultural relic to be mocked at every turn. Remember, I'm under ten years old at this time, and I still manage to get this impression. There was another, milder sea change when grunge overtook the hair metal of the late '80s, so I never questioned the idea that disco should be dead and buried. We like silly things, I thought in my 13-year-old wisdom, and then we get over it.

Then I saw The Last Days of Disco (1998) while I was in college, and suddenly I realized that disco was fun, and it was like—it was in the roots of—music I already loved. And the end of that movie also—hints? tells you? I can't remember how explicitly—that disco didn't just fade like most trends; it was killed off.

I watched a lot of VH1 in those days, the late '90s, with a little TV sitting on my tall university-issue dresser, its corner overlooking my computer desk while I struggled with piles of assignments. This was the heyday of Behind the Music, so it was great background TV. And then one day (1999) they ran a Donna Summer—the "Queen of Disco"—concert special. The video up there is the song that immediately became my favorite of hers. It’s just instant serotonin to me, any version of it. I bought the whole VH1 album on CD, and "This Time I Know It's For Real" may genuinely be one of my all-time favorite songs, now, still, more than 20 years later. You can hear the original version (1989) here (the backing instrumental that I just found today is lovely), but the live version ten years later, the video up there, has a really special comeback—joyous, gracious survival—energy to it.

Watching the whole concert, I got it. Why the fuck did I ever think disco wasn't amazing? It was always the kind of thing I loved; we had all just been pretending that it was embarrassing glitter trash.

And then I found out why we were pretending. From densely-footnoted Wikipedia:

Disco Demolition Night was a Major League Baseball (MLB) promotion on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois, that ended in a riot. At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field between games of the twi-night doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Many had come to see the explosion rather than the games and rushed onto the field after the detonation. The playing field was so damaged by the explosion and by the rioters that the White Sox were required to forfeit the second game to the Tigers. [...] The popularity of disco declined significantly in late 1979 and 1980. Many disco artists carried on, but record companies began labeling their recordings as dance music. [...] Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh described Disco Demolition Night as "your most paranoid fantasy about where the ethnic cleansing of the rock radio could ultimately lead". Marsh was one who, at the time, deemed the event an expression of bigotry, writing in a year-end 1979 feature that "white males, eighteen to thirty-four are the most likely to see disco as the product of homosexuals, blacks, and Latins, and therefore they're the most likely to respond to appeals to wipe out such threats to their security. It goes almost without saying that such appeals are racist and sexist, but broadcasting has never been an especially civil-libertarian medium." Nile Rodgers, producer and guitarist for the disco-era band Chic,

(who survived the disco era to make half the music I loved in the '80s)

likened the event to Nazi book burning. Gloria Gaynor, who had a huge disco hit with "I Will Survive," stated, "I've always believed it was an economic decision—an idea created by someone whose economic bottom line was being adversely affected by the popularity of disco music. So they got a mob mentality going."

The DJ who ran the whole thing, Steve Dahl, complains that it was VH1 itself—you know, those Behind the Music specials I was watching—circa 1996 that labeled the whole debacle as bigotry when it so totally was not, you guys, and he is so tired of defending himself. But I'm gonna tell you, Steve, I don't really care. Maybe Disco Demolition Night was your fault; maybe you were just a part of something so much bigger and uglier that you couldn't see the whole size of it. Can you draw a direct line from the weird bigoted vitriol directed at those dance records to Ronald Reagan, elected the very next year, not giving a single fuck about the AIDS crisis? You probably don't want to, but I will.

And I don't care because I can look around the U.S. right now and tell you, nearly 45 years later, people are trying to demolish a lot more than disco. The Club Q shooter was sentenced to life in prison just a few hours ago. It's Pride Month, and we're all sitting here holding our breaths. That's a terrible way to end a post about a beautiful happy song I love, I guess, unless you turn it around and say, that should have been the whole point of this post in the first place. Listen to this song and think, people wanted to destroy this music, this sound, this joy for some reason. They want to stop people from just living their lives, from dancing. And yet, disco is still here. It was there in 1979, and it was there when Donna Summer released this song in 1989, and it was there when she returned in 1999. The Queen of Disco passed away in 2012, and it's still here. I feel a lot of joy when I listen to this song, but I don't think I'd ever thought about it being the joy of grooving with something just because it’s beautiful, the joy of just being here, still.

You know, sometimes when I need to concentrate and also cheer up I go on YouTube and put on a random happy hardcore mix. And if I like a track, sometimes there's no artist listed but most of the time I check the artist and it's like a club mix of a Disney song with the artist listed as "DJ Fred ft. Laura" and when I finally manage to track down which fucking DJ Fred it is it turns out he's only ever done like three tracks in 1996 and may or may not be an alter ego of an alter ego of Dave Rodgers' college roommate or some shit like that. I love music

Music asks game!!!

9:A song that makes you happy

Can I just keep posting my favorite Eurobeat? Because that always makes me happy.

Dave Rodgers, "Wheels of Fire":

Another parapara choreo I love lol

11:A song that you never get tired of

This is really hard because there are a lot of songs I don't get tired of but it's like I forget them for a bit then remember them again and it's like they're new again.

I think I'll go with Queen, "Somebody to Love" because I think that song could literally raise me from my grave:

I get inordinately excited when I hear it on the radio and I must--must!!!--sing along.

12:A song from your preteen years

Blind Melon, "No Rain."

It was released in 1992 but I don't think I heard it for the first time until another year or two later but it was my favorite song when I was in those awkward preteen years, when I'd just figured out that there was actually good music out there.

23:A song that you think everybody should listen to

I think we could do with more old school protest music, especially Pete Seeger, but also Woody Guthrie and the other original protest singers, in large part because they were singing old union songs, old solidarity songs, new anti-war songs, new peace songs and I think that wouldn't be such a bad thing to have again. But you have to pay attention to the words sometimes. "Union Maid" is pretty easy, but it's more subtle with some others.

So here's Pete Seeger performing "If I Had a Hammer" live in Melbourne, Australia, in 1963:

29:A song that you remember from your childhood

The Peter, Paul and Mary cover of "Blowin' in the Wind":

I adored this song when I was small, especially "how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?" The whole song is so full of images that it was really easy for me, as a small child, to understand, you know?

Yeah, I was kind of raised by anti-war hippies and it was great.

Rolling Stone Magazine Top 200 Singers - The Omissions List

Once in awhile, I’ll do a music themed blog post and boy do I have a post for you. Rolling Stone Magazine opens 2023 with a list that no one asked for. Their 200 Singers list is an all time low for the once flourishing magazine. When you include auto-tuned singers like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Ray and dull as dishwater singers (again, my opinion) like Morrissey, Courtney Love, Michael Stipe, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, you lose credibility in my book. Here are the singers of different backgrounds, genres, and vocalizations (in alphabetical order) that Rolling Stone failed to include on their inept list:

Sonne, Strand, Sattla - OG LU

My Summer hit even tho its winter. I got into female german rap for some reason and I'm soaking up every track. And sometimes I find gems like this one. Her other tracks are great too and i thought about either posting her or my other darling yungfsk18. But this song is solid from beginning to end and i even named my wednesday swimming group "Breiter Lat und nackte Brust". Female Rap gives me a confidence or ego boost that is hard to describe.

DEJA VU - dave rodgers

Sometimes you gotta go fast and Super Euro Beat is the fucking way to go. Gives you an instant speed boost while driving but most of the time i listen to it while doing cardio. I hate cardio but i want to improve my stamina and i want to loose some weight. I'm attending a wedding in May and I have a very specific look in my head. Also my work jeans are a bit tight and i have neither the money not the motivation to buy new jeans. So I'm blasting (Super) Euro Dance on the treadmill. Hyper hyper!

Before I knew it - Mason Ramsey

I think i mentioned this song before. But I fucking love country music. It scratches an itch in my brain and is so very divers. There are your Orville Pecks, your Rebas, your Dolly Parton or Johnn Cashs, there is sad country, upbeat country, chill country or just plain bad country to make fun of. No other genre picks me up like that and i enjoy the ride every time. And this Mason Ramsey song SLAPS Every time. When the guitar starts makes that mewewew AAAH Yeaaah i used to be the guy-. I'm pumped. I love guitars and yeeing them haws.

We Got the Moves - Electric Callboy

We should have sent them to ESC. Anyway this song is great and i still love metal (but not the metalheads). My taste in music is either non-existent or just all over the place honestly, but i always return to metal or country. Maybe bc those are also the genres i loved to play myself, even tho i have no talent. I drive a lot and this song is also a fun driving song, thats why i listen to it a lot. Just yelling along. The video is also great. Main thing I look for in songs right now is how well i can yell along and how much they make me want to get up and punch something. I need that extra push at the moment.

Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge

This song is sexy.
