Allison is assembling a playlist for her wedding reception. Hooray! My part is basically to encourage her to include as many dirty/sad songs as possible, preferably toward the end of the festivities. I'm fairly excited to get down with people I don't know to pieces such as:

'Creep' by Radiohead

'Kermit the Frog on Weed'

'The Bad Touch' by the Bloodhound Gang (you know, 'you & me baby ain't nothin' but mammals...)

'White Wedding' by Billy Idol

'It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To' by Leslie Gore

'I Touch Myself' by The Divinyls

Her family would probably be cool with it; they raised her after all, so they must have a sense of humor. His parents, on the other hand, apparently are straight-laced Mormons. I wish desperately that she plays one of the dirty ones above.

A more realistic playlist is a teensy bit more kosher, or at least the vocalists slur their words much of the way through so it's hard to tell, includes a lot of Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. I'm still going to petition for her to play 'Time,' because it is my absolute favorite from 'Dark Side of the Moon,' and the only one to which I know all the lyrics.

I'm seriously considering a 1945 Lolita goth look, or at least a look that is strong influenced by same, just to be fun. Weddings rock.
