Wrong side of the decks.

At Little League's Halloweentastic Indie Pop Disco on Saturday night. Dancing shoes gleaming, imaginary Morrissey quiff groomed and genuine original Orange Juice badge glinting on the lapel.

We arrived early as I had offered John, who runs the night, some disco lights and a projector to throw some spooky black n white classic horror films up on to the wall. Wow, looks like I have just taken a quiet walk down the lonely street of adjective avenue.
It meant we were there from the opening song of 'Sandman' by The Chordettes followed by John Carpenter's Halloween theme to the closing chords of The Associates, 'Party Fears Two'.

Watching the place fill up was interesting. It would appear that the more vacant seats there are the more indecisive folk are about where to sit. The first two punters sat in their first choice seat for all of ten minutes before the dreadful feeling that their seats may not be the best in the place and hastily scrambled to other ones. If Mr Malcolm Gladwell wishes to discuss this phenomena as a basis for his next best-seller I will very happily suggest a co-authorship and a share of the profits.

By 10pm the place was rammed and no seats were to be had. The night had sold out weeks ago.

Danced with gay abandon (and when he was tired with the wife) to Stone Roses, Tindersticks, Roxy Music, Go-Betweens, Smiths, Camera Obscura, Weather Prophets and Orange Juice.

Really enjoyed but couldn't get the zimmer on to the packed dance floor for Public Enemy, REM, Pavement, and Arcade Fire.

Best Dance Floor reaction was to X-Ray Specs with'Oh Bondage'.

Fave song of the evening 'Judy and the Dream of Horses' by Belle and Sebastian.

Next event is just before Christmas and we have tickets.  Heigh Ho!
