"It was the kind of moment SF party photog Shutterslut would have loved to catch: pop rapture in transit, a scene too fleeting and too tender to ever land on film. After the ball dropped on New Year's Eve 2005-somewhere around a quarter to two-the F Market streetcar, crammed with strangers, clattered down Market Street. Rene and I had slipped out of Nicole's epic Duboce Park bash, which I'd DJed, before ending up at the freshly minted 440 Castro for a nightcap."
"Then came the call I'd been hoping for, from someone I'd only just started seeing, the kind of new spark that makes your chest thrum like you've swallowed a disco ball. They wanted to meet up. I didn't know yet that the whole thing would burn as fast and bright as Tara's gourmet grilled cheese dippers from the party, then collapse into heartbreak just weeks later. In that tiny window, everything still felt possible."
On New Year's Eve 2005, after leaving a Duboce Park party, two friends ride the F Market streetcar and share headphones while listening to Madonna's "Hung Up." The song's ABBA-infused panic and ticking-clock urgency mirror a sudden call from a new romantic interest, heightening impatience and possibility. Confessions on a Dance Floor is presented as a continuous DJ mix with no ballads, converting living rooms and taxis into makeshift nightclubs. Tracks such as "Get Together," "Sorry," and "Future Lovers" supply optimism, attitude, and sleek dance grooves that sustain exhilaration during a fleeting, hopeful moment.
