Inaugural random thought for the new year

The playing of a Bjork song ("Human Behaviour") at the dance party tonight inspired me to come up with a genre system for music based on parts of the body. That's a thigh song, you see, where "thigh song" is defined as "a song where you plant your feet wide apart and sink down, knees bent, so your thighs will be very unhappy at you later if you don't normally do things like that or have fallen out of the habit."

Thigh songs may perhaps be subdivided into stompy songs (self-explanatory) and thigh-hip songs, which blur over into those hip songs where you're not sunk down while swinging your butt around. There are also toe songs (bouncing a lot on the tips of your toes) and feet songs, not to be confused with the former category -- feet songs involve both heel and toe, doing fun footworky things. Also arm songs, though you don't find a lot of those in what people normally think of as "dance music." (My definition of music worth dancing to is . . . idiosyncratic.)

And wow, spelling that word took way too many tries, so I'm going to bed.

Happy New Year, all.
