Party In The U
A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration or celebration of a special occasion. A party will often feature food and beverages, and often conversation, music, dancing, or other forms of entertainment. Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event, such as a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party. Parties of this kind are often called celebrations.

Public parties are sometimes held in restaurants, pubs, beer gardens, nightclubs, or bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host.

Kim & Jessie
"Kim & Jessie" is a song by French electronic band M83. Written by Anthony and Yann Gonzalez with Morgan Kibby, it was released in July 2008 as the third single from M83's fifth studio album, ''Saturdays = Youth''. Critical reception "Kim & Jessie" ranked number five on ''Pitchfork'''s list of the top 100 songs of 2008. Pitchfork's Mark Pytlik said that "with its apocalyptic electric drum hits, keening synths, icily detached vocals, and volcanic chorus, 'Kim & Jessie' not only ranked as the album's best song, but also combined with the similarly convincing "Graveyard Girl" to make one of the year's most potent 1-2 punches." ''Paste'''s Jeff Leven called it the album's "clear standout" and "one of the best songs of 2008." James Gwyther of ''Drowned in Sound'' wrote that "the processed vocals from Gonzalez and an overall air of nostalgia ..combine to craft a delicious electro number." Glide Magazine's Chuck Myers explained that the song is "like hearing an alternate-universe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
