It also helps to keep a pen & paper handy to write down all your requests. That way, you can go back and look through it, see what you don't have that people asked for, and go buy it so you have it for the next gig.

I know this is the complete opposite if what you are asking for but I have recently been turned on to a new dance/techno club type song that absolutely rocks! Its called "Dragostea Din Tei" aka "Numa Numa." Its by a group called "O-Zone" and is actually in Romanian. Like the hottest song in Europe middle east etc. However it is slowly spreading to the US. A firend of mine was in Israel a couep, mpths ago and brought the cd back and played it at a pep rally and everyone loved it...they went nuts! So I would def check this one out. Its very cool!
