Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

Ok, so somehow over the years I have become MindComet's resident DJ. Granted, I have kick-ass taste in music and I spin a little on the side. But I'm not a tyrannical despot when it comes to the music playing over our newly-installed rockin' sound system. I know that "techno" isn't everyone's cup of tea (Many of you have made that painfully evident. But know that when we have visitors, I'm usually asked to put on the beats. Why? Cuz it's probably cooler than what you're listening to.)

I know we have a couple coworkers stuck in the 80's. Great. Some like classic rock. I'm all for it. So I open the floor to suggestions. How do we handle the music in the office? It has been a topic of much debate for quite some time. Should it just be one big melting pot of genres? Or do we have theme-based days? Techno Tuesdays? Hip hop hump-days? Funkadelic Fridays?

Well whatever it is, the songs we play should follow some guidelines. Songs should be upbeat (no country, love ballads, etc), not annoying or distracting (heavy metal, punk, etc), and not contain swearing or otherwise distasteful lyrics (gangsta rap, booty, etc.) And pretty much everything from Jeremy's collection is ruled out, well, because his musical tastes are questionable, at best. So maybe I am a little bit tyrannical. It's part of my charm.

Post your suggestions, send your ideas via email, or just stop by the DJ booth (otherwise known as Joe's desk) and I will do my best to implement some sort of musical strategery.
