Indeep - Last Night A DJ Saved My Life 1982
Recommended by Samantha Culp
I can’t stop thinking about your theory and this may be too far afield, but interesting that one of the iconic disco tracks of the early 80s is about a life being SAVED on the dance floor? Hope you write an essay on this all someday!

No I love that you’re complicating this. It’s like, there’s this long history of life or death on the dance floor, but something exploded in the 2010s that feels very specifically apocalyptic and kind of avoidant. Also this song is amazing
@apriltett
Now this has me thinking of how dance therapy was rated the most effective therapy and the feeling of life/death and rebirth within the self.

HANG ON
@lidarichardson
Ok one of my issues is I have no experience writing about music…but maybe psych is my way in
@lidarichardson
Also my friend who’s a middle school dance teacher told me I’d inspired her to make a 2010s mash up for them. We’re already doing praxis
@apriltett
Omfg the sheer 2010’s of it all was insane I can’t believe the things that were happening at middle school dances.
@apriltett
Also there was a really good article in psychology today like two issues ago about music and psychology I have to try to find it. It was essentially saying what if the “ear worms” we get about songs is another way of our subconscious speaking to us.

Proof that funk and the sound of a flushing toilet can coexist.
