Playlist: A-Camp Dance Party, Revisited

click for more a-camp

Exactly one week ago, A-Camp wrapped its final night on the mountain with a shadowy, super queer, pulsating little dance party dj'd by yours truly. Because we can't stop thinking of that magical weekend -- and planning the next one -- let's relive the magic! Here are the songs we danced / lived / loved to. And of course you can follow me on Facebook to keep up with all my party-starting exploits!

Wish you were here / we were there / infinity, etc.

I still feel sad that my internet disappeared for a week or two and it took me aaaaaages to work out what ‘A Camp’ meant and why everyone was going on about it.

uhm through the magic of this playlist, i can pinpoint my exact moments of stepping away to drink, reentering to dance, which chicks and bros i danced with and the precise second where i almost turned into a hot mess.

so thanks but i think i need to go process somethings now.

love this

  Omg me too. And judging by how many songs there were between events I remember, everything happened way faster than it seemed!

is it weird that ‘call me maybe’ will forever remind me of a-camp?

(except it also reminds me of the unmade arrested development remix called ‘call me maebe’ that someone needs to make)

  “call me maybe” was my theme song from camp. It came on at the bar last night and I was so excited!

  YES somehow this is like my a-camp song. Whenever I start to feel a little sad I just play it really loud and sing along and everything seems better.

  Also it’s very fitting, lyrically. I gave my number to a lot of people I had just met.

  it also reminded me of the potential of “call me maeby” so then of course google wins in the battle with my curiosity.

So I don’t remember too too much about that night (!!) but I do remember everyone yelling every word of ‘we are young’ and I got the shivery goosebumps because it was SUCH A MOMENT.

everyone singing along to “we are young” at the end of the night was absolutely epic

and I hate that word but really it is the only one I can think of to describe just how amazing it was

Yay! Awesome job, Carly. Dancing to Robyn and Le Tigre with my cabin are some of my favorite memories from camp.

I just want it noted that I loved (and still love, and will always love) the fact that Cherry Bomb is on this.

why thank you!
I am hardcore studying for finals right now and “I feel better” has been playing on repeat for hours. I don’t know why but it mixes well with phenomenology.

plus: the video ist the best. it goes from “wtf” straight to “BAHAHAHA”.

So i’ve been listening to this playlist non-stop for about four days. At first, it was because i needed to feel close to the rhythms and emotions of A-camp.

I’m still listening cuz this shit is fire. Come back to NYC and spin at party that you throw, dude. Pleeease.
