I was responsible for the music at a wedding over the holiday weekend,
a task to which I devoted no small amount of obsession. There was the
likes and dislikes of the bride and groom to consider, the diverse
nature of the crowd, and the eternal challenge of navigating the line
between the familiar and the trite without losing momentum. I’ve also
started planning the music for my own wedding sometime in 2011. While
it’s true that you really can’t play enough Michael Jackson at a
wedding, here are four songs that, at various points in the night,
were also perfect. Included is a Kenny Dope remix of the Sharon Jones
song “Keep On Looking,” a disco edit of the Jean Carn song “What’s On
Your Mind,” the Tiedye mic of the DJ Kaos song “Love the Nite Away,”
and the one that no mortal could resist, Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison.”
