Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

(Greta)

Greta and I love to dance, so it's only natural that we would meet on the dance floor. The song was "Always something there to remind me" by Naked Eyes. We both noticed one another while dancing to it. Greta was wearing a great red and black outfit and looked beautiful. We danced together but I didn't have the nerve to approach her afterwards, but then she approached me. We talked briefly as she was leaving with her friends. We made a loose date to meet the next week at the club but then I screwed it up and we didn't find each other for another month or so. After we did, we started dating and both liked each other a lot.

The moment I knew Greta was The One was the first time she and I went to Tracks as a couple and danced to this song by the Cure. It feels silly to write about it, but dancing to this song with Greta, that night, was one of the best moments of my entire life. We were so into each other, we danced perfectly and for the length of this song it was like we were in some grand production. The world seemed to melt away, the club felt like it belonged to us and we danced all over the place. It was great and romantic and all that stuff guys get uncomfortable talking about. As the song ended I was holding Greta in my arms and she was smiling and I was smiling and we were both exhausted and out of breath and yet we were both full of life and completely totally in love. I was struck by the lightning bolt of love on the same dance floor we had met on just a few months earlier.
