LITM Extra - Night and Day: Early Evening Partying [excerpt]

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To become a patron, head to Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod. In this patrons-only episode, Jeremy and Tim respond to an article in the New York Times about early evening partying for which Tim was interviewed - and misrepresented! This precipitates a wider conversation about the history of daytime partying and how partying at night became normalised. Tim and Jeremy recount their experiences of dancing in the day at Lazy Dog and Body and Soul, explore the reasons why throwing an intense daytime party is hard, and make the case for an early bedtime. Jeremy and Tim also cover the Northern Soul 'weekender', drag balls, rent parties, nascent Acid culture, amphetamines, rave, and - for the first time on the show - the Bee Gees. Produced and edited by Matt Huxley. Tracklist: Wilson Pickett - In The Midnight Hour The Beatles - Day Tripper Bohannon - Have A Good Day Dobie Gray - Out on the Floor Bee Gees - Night Fever Eddie Grant - Time Warp

Om Podcasten

Love is the Message: Music, Dance & Counterculture is a new show from Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert, both of them authors, academics, DJs and dance party organisers. Tune in, Turn on and Get Down to in-depth discussion of the sonic, social and political legacies of radical movements from the 1960s to today. Starting with David Mancuso's NYC Loft parties, we’ll explore the countercultural sounds, scenes and ideas of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. ”There’s one big party going on all the time. Sometimes we get to tune into it.” The rest of the time there’s Love Is The Message.
