Boring anecdote ahead, scroll down for the point in bold:
When I was in college, I would drag my girlfriend along with me to see pop-punk bands from California. And she would mostly just fall asleep, in the loud club, which made the bouncers think she was on drugs or something, so they keep bugging me to wake her up. And I've have to explain that she wasn't on drugs, she was just really, really bored. And I soon realized, that while *I* loved these bands and could hear a whole setlist of b-sides and random crap, my girlfriend really didn't care for these bands.
But.
I found that if the band played a cover, she would perk right up. Because she at least knew the song, and could interact with it. I started making her mix tapes of bands we were going to see, but even that was too much. She didn't want to have to do homework to go see a band. She just wanted like two songs in a set that she knew, recognized and liked. So I started picking out like two songs for her that I was fairly sure that the band would be playing. And it worked like shitcakes: she wouldn't fall asleep because she would be waiting for the band to play the two songs that she knew and liked.
Now.
I don't want to be like my college girlfriend, falling asleep at SFL 2007 because I don't know your music. But I don't want to do homework either. If you are coming, would you please be so kind as to post what you think are your best two songs (not every song that you plan on playing). That way I can know something by you and dance and sing and lalala and whatever whatever.
