YOU are invited to contribute to making my next dance party the best night ever! I'm conducting an interesting, inclusive experiment for the August edition of FLAME!
I believe music to be the great unifier, bringing communities together to bond over our commonalities. I've always aimed to make my events something to be enjoyed by everyone. That's why I want YOU to select the dance songs for my next dance party.
Here are the guidelines:
1) The recording must be from the years 1950-1980
2) I must have in my VINYL collection
3) Your request must be made PRIOR to the day of the dance party
4) I'm not restricting genres, but my collection mostly consists of soul, country, 50s-70s"oldies", classic rock, disco, funk, jazz, blues, r&b, rockabilly, gospel, and Latin.
5) You can request up to THREE songs
TRY ME! If you request it and I have it, I will play it.
This has the potential to be REALLY fun and cathartic! PARTICIPATE!
Send your requests using the contact form at djactionslacks.com
What song lifts your spirits? Who will you choose?
Will it be The Supremes? David Bowie? Aretha? Parliament? Tammy Wynette? Little Richard? The Monkees? Grace Jones? T-Rex? Fleetwood Mac? Bill Withers? Suzi Quatro? Neil Diamond? Ella Fitzgerald? Heart? Foreigner? Some kind of show tune from Rita Moreno?
I can't wait to find out!!!!

ON SCREEN: The Elephant 6 Recording Co.
2022. Directed by C.B. Stockfleth. Runtime: 93 minutes. Not Rated.
The Elephant 6 Recording Co. shares the unique inside story of the collective creative evolution behind the sounds of 1990s psychedelic rock bands The Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, and The Apples in Stereo — the founding groups behind the Elephant 6 collective, as well as a host of other artists — with inspirational resonance for today’s music makers, and music lovers everywhere.
Around 1985, a group of Ruston, Louisiana area high schoolers began experimenting with whatever random instruments and gear they could lay their hands on. Moving to other small college towns including Denver, Colorado and Athens, Georgia, their musical coming of age coincided with the new consumer availability of old-school 4- and 8-track recording technology and cassette tapes. Sharing like-minded sensibilities, influenced by past sounds and psychedelia, and with little to distract them, their efforts to create whole new musical worlds became the bands The Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Apples In Stereo and many more. While the collective grew to a natural breaking point, its founding members overcame obstacles and remained closely bonded, reuniting for tours and still collaborating today.
The Elephant 6 Recording Co. provides insight into this revolutionary era of popular independent music in America, the defiant DIY spirit in music making, and champions the integrity of an authentic quest for artistic expressiveness over the more mainstream image of being a “successful” musician in our fame-obsessed times.
