I danced this week! Yes, I rebelled again, and had my stable partner over at my place for an hour of dancing, privately. Actually, this is strictly speaking not a violation of the COVID lockdown, but it was a satisfying (if insignificant) expression of civic disobedience and it pleased me.
Out of this evening came a seedling of a playlist that I worked around to create this mix.
It is an experiment in that I purposefully wanted to make this a true mix and create tandas where each band plays only one song. This breaks the well-founded expectations, even more so when I still follow the TTVTTM format. But hey, every tune here was recorded in this century. I felt that this exercise was needed for me as I try to develop my approach for the glorious time when we return to the dance floor en masse.
This was partially tested on humans. That said, while I wish you could dance to this, I expect that quite of a few of you won't have the opportunity. For now.
