    everything they do is slow. i think the fastest one i have is "revenge of the number", and even that is slow as hell. pretty, good for sleeping or boning, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow for the SC, IMO. "sour times" was on the list of "songs that will get you fired immediately" at one of the clubs i worked at.

    I would rather get my eyes poked out with a rusty slinkee then to ever play portishead again in a SC.
    I agree,its good loving music though!

    I have a remix of "Revenge of the Number" that is a great song to play in a stripclub. It's souped up a bit, so it's funkier and has some balls, and I have used it many times--but only with a very particular kind of dancer.

    It takes this kind of girl to pull it off, and maybe not right after AC/DC, but it'll go over way better with a lot of guys who have real money than yet another idiotic gangster anthem. If you work in a club that can play Enigma, etc., and the DJ has a good feel for the right timing, it can work.

    "Strangers" is good in the same sense, if you start it about 1:12 in, which means it'll be just under three minutes. Mine might be a remix as well, I downloaded it, so I would make sure you like it before handing it to the DJ, lol, or you might both be sorry.

    "Scorn" (Glory Box remix) is very slow, but extremely powerful, and sexy as hell. Again, it might not work in a club with 100 dancers at midnight on friday, but in a medium-sized club--with a truly beautiful dancer, who has the skill and spirit to pull it off--the effect can be mesmerizing. Don't play the whole song, in fact start it at about 3:05 minutes in (it's a 6 minute song).

    Hell, I have played Miles Davis and had 5 guys fighting over who got to take the woman onstage into VIP first, and everyone else in the house was smitten. It takes the right girl and the right mood, and you have to tell those motherfuckers to watch the stage for a real show--if you speak with conviction and some steel, they will. Your average manager will probably freak out, though--unless he trusts you to know what you are doing.

    There was one club I worked in where I could never have gotten away with it, but the manager there thought Stevie B "Spring Love" was the best song ever, so that should tell you something. Enigma wasn't allowed there, so these songs were right out.

    I LOVE PORTISHEAD!!!!!! A lot of their stuff is a bit slow and relatively hard to dance to. Not something to dance to on a Friday or Saturday. I do however LOVE Glorybox. If I use it as my last song for a multiple song set it seems to work well. I think it's very moody and cat like. If that's your thing definately try dancing to this song. Good Luck!

    Scorn is a good one, also Biscuit. I would keep it at home.

    Portishead is my favorite music to dance to, I love it! My favorites are over, seven months, and glory box. I have actually gotten a lot of compliments on it, by people who love portishead, or people who had never heard it before, and liked it. I also go a lot of wow that's awesome, I've never heard portishead in a strip club before. Unfortunately my lovely new club with dj's (I've only worked stage dancing with jukeboxes until now) only has 1 portishead song, and it's not one I like.

    Reading this thread reminded me how grateful I am to be working days. I can get away with dancing to really slow songs, Portishead included. "It Could Be Sweet" seems to be one those that is more appreciated by our classic rock/country-lovin clientel. (They are just glad that it's not another gansta rap song, lol.)

    I even dance to Leonard Cohen!

    I have played this many times. With the right dancer, it's magical.

    Hell is round the corner can be found on Dreamworld: Essential Late Night Listening, Maxinquaye-Tricky. The loop used in the Tricky song and Glory Box by Portishead is Isaac Hayes, it is not a collaboration.

    The version I have is on "The Rebirth of Cool, vol.3" by 4th B'way, a division of Island Records. I got the Glorybox remix online.

    Do you have Limewire or another file-sharing program? If you keep searching for it you can usually find it, though the remixes will sometimes take repeated efforts, until you get someone online who has it. Try to get a high bitrate so it sounds good at the club, 192 is best. Listen to it beforehand to make sure there aren't any flaws, so the DJ doesn't get pissed off.

    And thanks, Rebuildme, for letting me know about the Isaac Hayes thing, as many times as I have played those songs, I never picked up on that. Pretty cool.
