MondayNightDanceParty

The #MondayNightDanceParty is a communal music event started in 2012. It's run by @jdscolam every Monday night at 8:30PM CST, using MNDP.tv to request and listen to music together.

Often, the DJs will update the MNDP.tv front page with a message of the day or theme for the dance party.

Instructions

How to participate

1. Find a recording of a song you like on YouTube
2. Log into https://mndp.tv
3. Request your song!
4. Sit back and chat about your week, the weather, and other sundries
5. @jdscolam or a friendly stand-in DJ will arrange the songs in the MNDP interface. Listen and enjoy!

When

Every Monday, starting at 8:30PM Central Time, USA for ~2 hours.

Where

Homes and work places around the world! But mostly in American time zones, and some crazy European night owls' homes and streets.

https://mndp.tv hosts a web app to chat and interact. That's the MNDP.tv app on Pnut. You may also use a chat-capable Pnut app with channel 600, e.g., Chat room 600 on the Beta web app or Chat room 600 on the Patter web app, just to chat and see requests from the @mndp bot.

Playlist

As of January 6, 2020, https://mndp.tv/playlist shows recently played requests, live. https://mndp.tv/playlists has each week parsed more completely (but only updated once a week).
