Things that make you go "dance!"

DJ Schmolli is back with one of his most danceable tracks in a while. Don't worry, he's not stinting on the Teutonic influences - it's just that this time he's using hipster German dance-rappers
Frauenarzt and Manny Marc's "Das geht ab" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQqpMukDSP4) which is a pretty hot club track to start with. Schmolli speeds it up, then throws in a few other tracks in supporting roles, but it's the base song that's doing most of the work here.

Faded Paper Figures' "Logos" is much quieter and more subdued, but still carries that driving dance beat. You can find more of their stuff on http://www.myspace.com/fadedpaperfigures . Most of it is pleasant, if unremarkable, listening.

This one is sort of rap/hip-hop dance. I'm fond of the way the vocals overlay; it's not terribly sophisticated, but the rhythms work well and as long as Li'l Wayne doesn't grate on you the way I know he grates on some people I think you'll find yourself bopping along with this one.

Royksopp's "What Else Is There" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOt15JsLloU) is a great track to work off of, and it has been remixed several different ways. The Swedish experimental-electronic duo produce spare techno sounds and haunting vocals. If you do a YouTube search for "Royksopp (featuring Karin Dreijer)" you'll have a wide selection of neat - and slightly disturbing - samples to choose from. This particular remix, by Ministry of Sound drops out some of the eerier vocal edges in favor of the lush tones that I'm used to hearing from MoS.

Off-the-wall request (mostly local SCAdians)

I'm looking for a simple brown/green T-tunic-type piece of clothing for Halloween costuming. It should not be overtly gaudily trimmed and should fit a 5'10 person.

(Yes, I could make one easily enough but then it would sit gathering dust in a closet. I may yet do that, but I figured I'd ask around a bit first.)
