RIFF MARKET

In a few weeks, I anticipate having to go to several strip clubs for a friend's bachelor party. There is talk of getting some barbeque beforehand, which I'm also pretty psyched about. In the meantime I've been thinking a lot about the playlist I'm going to put together for whatever club my bros and I end up at, since by now the really swanky NYC strip clubs are hip to the iPod DJ thing that's been happening fairly regularly at some non-strip clubs I frequent, e.g. the Apple Store on Prince; the other Apple Store in midtown. If you're not hip to it, and you own a strip club, I strongly suggest buying yourself a copy of The Long Tail. My guess is some strippers have "their songs" too, which could end up being a problem for me. Honestly? It's pretty bullshit strippers always have to complain about the music on iPod nights. They know it's coming, week after week, why don't they bring their own iPod and get in line to play their three songs like the rest of us. The new shuffles are not at all cumbersome; I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Either way I tend to be pretty democratic at my strip club DJ gigs, and I'm definitely going to come prepared with a mix of personal favorites and club classics. This is what my playlist looks like so far:

Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Radio Edit)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Isak Original)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Voltaxx Radio Edit)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Greece Dub)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Robbie Rivera Remix)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Steve Murano Remix)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Voltaxx Remix)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (DJ I.C.O.N. Remix)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (B-Deep Remix)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Isak Original Instrumental)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Greece Dub Instrumental)"
Benny Benassi: "Satisfaction (Isak Original Edit)"
