this is a much better representation of bhangra dancing, even though it’s an advert http://youtube.com/watch?v=mrAL4hkFPkQ

even if bhangra basement can get a bit monotonous, catching a glimpse of cute girl getting her bhangra groove on.. NEVER gets boring..

Thanks a lot! IÂ’ve heard all those songs before (except for Ominous DJ’s and Sarvjeet Kaur) and they get play at various DJ parties here and I live in a semi rural area in the South. IÂ’m shocked that those songs donÂ’t get play at BB.

OK, just offhand after a quick look through some of my cd’s, here are some great songs that have all come out in the past 3 years or so (a few may go back 4 years but I haven’t included anything older than that). A few of these songs have been played at BB but most haven’t. There are many great songs that are older than 4 years old that have never been played at BB either but I haven’t listed them. Finally, there are many good songs that DO get played at BB so I didn’t list them either. Most of these are UK songs, one or two are from Canada or India.

1)Giddhe De Vich (Popsy – Bangin!) 2)Bhangra Punjabiyan Ne (Popsy – Bangin!) 3)Aaja Soniye (Jeeti – Off The Hook) 4)Surma (Lehmber Hussainpuri – Ne Baliyeh) 5)Ne Baliyeh (Ne Baliyeh) 6)Panj Bindiyan (Ominous DJ’s – Unfinished Business) 7)Jatt Hate (Ominous DJ’s – Unfinished Business) 8)Kanoo Mardan (Simon Nandhra – Underestimated) 9)Loko Wadaya (Simon Nandhra – Underestimated) 10)Putt Sardaran De (Simon Nandhra – Underestimated) 11)Rann Botal Vargi (Taj-E – Look Again) 12)Sanehvaal Chounk (Tru Skool/Specialist – Word Is Born) 13)Dhullah (Tru Skool/Specialist – Word Is Born)

*Actually EVERY song on Tru Skool/Specialist’s album Word Is Born is amazing.

14)Chuware Wali (Tarli Digital – Gabroo Punjab Deh) 15)Dhol Vaja Ke (Jazzy B – Dhol Vaja Ke) 16)Put Sardaran De (Pure Desi Volume 1 – VIP records) 17)All the following songs from the album Sparked by Northern Lights: Jannab, Billo Tere Nakhre, Matador, Poundan Naal 18)Dil (Gettin’ Serious) 19)Melene (Gettin’ Serious) 20)Sohniye feat MC Drilla (Pure NRG) 21)Pasand (Mentor Kolektiv – Broke) 22)Boliyan (Kais – Club Vich) 23)Dhulla (RDB – Three) 24)Suga Kane Boliyan (Big Suga Kane – Desi Platinum) 25)Nachde Punjabi (Sweet & Sexy The Album) 26)Lak Da Hulara (D/I/P – Room 18) 27)Limca (D/I/P – Room 18) 28)Challa (Desi Crew – Solid) 29)The following songs from the album 4 Folk Sake by ADH: Mukadmaa, Putt Sardaran De, Punjab 30)Nain Preeto De (Panjabi By Nature – Settin’ The Standard) 31)G.T Road (Genie-Us) 32)Mu Jor Jor (Indy Sagu – Indystructable) 33)Laadli Boliyan (Sarvjeet Kaur – Mast Javani) 34)Koka (Narinder Gogie – The Real Deal) 35)Tainu Paun Badle ( Nachhatar Gill – Saadi Gall) 36)The following songs from the album Romeo by Jazzy B : Dil Luteya, Yaari, Romeo, Soorma, Rakh Samb Ke) 37)Many songs from many albums released by Untouchables Records including Jatt Da Truck (from album Unstoppable) 38)The following from the album 4 My Sinz by J. Skillz : Akh Sharabi, Kinne Katal, Jawani, Jatt Chalea) 39)Bari Khol Ke (Indy Sagu – The Debut)

Macaca Man, he didn’t whip out his willy on the dancefloor, where it might get kicked. I was sitting and waiting to interview Rekha after the club had closed and he was talking to me and I was thinking nothing of it until he grabbed the back of my neck, pushed my head into his lap and there it was. Since I couldn’t LEAVE the club and had NEVER in my 27 years had anything like that happen before, I froze like a deer in headlights and pushed him away and kept chatting. He later grabbed my hand and eyyeww, he had freed willy again! Thank goddess Rekha came upstairs at that point and I escaped. I was so entirely stunned by the whole thing that my red-hot fury and screaming rage only hit me later while stuck at Penn Station at 3am trying to get to Long Island.

As far as I know, the dude isn’t in the band any more. It’s impolite to give you their name, but I’ll just say that ever since hearing the story, my Brit Asian friends have referred to them as “Rhythm Dick Bollocks.”

Thanks to the three of you, yeah, I get the history of it. It's just that the contrast between what you guys have spoken about and what I mentioned, compared to the wide varieties of attempted hooking up that's interesting. And I think I would recognize that doctor dude, he's a regular, and soon looks very, very comfortable with any and all ladies he gets out on the dancefloor. Closing note, aside from what is and isn't socially acceptable in public, I can't imagine exhibiting any sensitive body part out on the floor; you get accidentally bumped into, stepped on and kicked so often (like any club) that I'd think that'd be a highly risky behaviour. Ouch!

nah so far its only two of us i think. but yeah i feel you (haw haw) on your comments though! i wish the club scene was generally less antagonistic but then again, that ain't about to happen
