Summary: 

I visited the Palace, one of L.A.'s finer discos the other night and found
they where playing about 20%-30% disco music. Some might debate exactly
what disco music is. Here I use it to refer to something that can probably
not be taken as anything but disco. I was suprised to hear a lot of
rapping (as sung by Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC). They also played
a fair amount of new wave: Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bronski beat.
They even played one of my favorites by the B52's, Clair from planet Blair.
(Maybe not the exact name.)
	I was with a friend from New York who found the Palace to quite
a contrast to NY discos. She thought the NY discos where much more mainstream
and that you had to behave much more conservatively. The people at
the Palace where dressed ranging from punk to new wave to elegant to casual
and it didn't matter much who with or how you danced. There where guys
dancing by them selves which I haven't seen often. It was was an
enjoyable evening.
