ESL Podcast 871 – Listening to Club Music

 　　Anastasia: This is the best club in the city. Grace¹ brought me here last month. You’re going to love it.

 

　　Joshua: What?!

 

　　Anastasia: You’re going to love this club. It has the best DJ in town. She spins the best mixes.

 

　　Joshua: Did you say you’re going to get us some mixed drinks?

 

　　Anastasia: No, I said that this DJ is great. She plays music that gets people pumped up. Oh, I love this song. It samples from two of my favorite songs and it’s my favorite track on this CD.

 

　　Joshua: Did you say that you want to buy this CD?

 

　　Anastasia: No, I said I like this song. It’s got a pounding beat and I can really feel the music. I love dancing to it. Do you want to get out onto the dance floor?

 

　　Joshua: Let’s wait until she segues into something mellower². I don’t really like dancing to this kind of club music.

 

　　Anastasia: What?! You love club music? That’s great. Let’s go dance!

 

　　Joshua: I think I’ll sit this one out. Don’t you think that the volume is a little loud in here?

 

　　Anastasia: What?! You want the music to be louder? I’ll go ask the DJ to turn it up.

 

　　Joshua: No!
