The other day I was talking to Mario, who's getting married next month. I suggested he blow off the entire wedding DJ thing and just make an iPod mix. Too late. He and his fiancée have already committed. Nonetheless, I told him I'd post what I programmed for Wendy and me, just in case he wanted to pick off some songs to suggest to their pro.

My mix was in three stages: Ramones - Reggae - Rock. To lubricate the transitions, there's the Godchildren of Soul version of "Rockaway Beach" (with vocals by Joey Ramone) and Wolfman's sweet-but-not-sappy "For Lovers" (featuring Pete Doherty of Libertines/Babyshambles infamy). Most of these songs are probably offered by iTunes or wherever you rip your sings, but I actually had all of these in my collection.

The Ramones - She's a Sensation
The Ramones - California Sun
The Ramones - I Want You Around
The Ramones - She's The One
The Godchildren of Soul - Rockaway Beach (On The Beach)
Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters - Tell Me Something Good
Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Hold Me Tight
Hopeton Lewis - Take It Easy
The Maytals - Just Tell Me
Gregory Isaacs - I'll Be Around
Dennis Brown - Things in Life
Wolfman - For Lovers
Jets to Brazil - Cat Heaven
Ted Leo - Since U Been Gone/Maps

Bonus tracks: These weren't on iPod, but played live for the ceremony by the Ray Barbee Band in lieu of a piano, harp, or whatnot. The songs were for the procession, bridal approach, and recessional in order.
