A Night In Moscow

Greetings Earthlings,

I wanted to post this a while back but forgot because I'm so important. Anyway, a while back I was reading one of my favorite websites www.pitchfork.com and there was a great interview with legendary DJ and M.I.A. collaborator Diplo. Interesting interview. Anyway, they asked him about his favorite experiences and he highlighted this one after-party in Moscow. Apparently, it was in a tiny place with no lights, packed with people and no one knew how to work the stereo. So it was a sucky party. But no one wanted to leave because it was negative 678 degrees outside. So Diplo throws on some random playlist from his ipod and it turns into one of the tightest parties in like a really long time. He dropped a bunch of songs off the playlist so I re-created it with some of my own additions. I call the playlist Moscow Nights and whenever I listen to it (after work laying on the living room floor with a Baker's and soda), I think of a game-tight party at 4am in the complete dark. Here is the playlist in case you all want to recreate it:

2) SpottieOdieLicious - Outkast

3) A Change is Gonna Come - Seal

4) Fife and Drum Piece - Yonder Come the Blues
