Online Dance Party 16 – Sixteen Candles 7-3-20

One measures one’s life in years, if one is human. A dog, meanwhile, allegedly ages 7 years for each human year. Dance parties, meanwhile, age on a weekly basis, and my pandemic-predicated, Online Dance Party on Twitch turned 16 last night.

I played a healthy dose of requests, including some back-to-back tracks by the same artist, along with my usual mixture of music both new and old. One viewer, Icy Phoenix, watching all the way around the world in Serbia, even shared a song of his own for me to play. That was a first for the ODP. Here’s the weekly breakdown of what got played:
