Safety Dance - digg this
Geekdad tripped me down memory lane with this post and this youtube video.
My nostalgic streak is as wide as wide can be and that can be to my detriment. It's hard for me to pick up new music. Of course part of that is because the price of CDs is still pretty extravagant, but even when I listen to a new band through something like Pandora or any of the other myriad free web-based players that are out there I'm still kind of meh on things I hear that I didn't grow up with.
For me music is quite a bit about safety and sameness. I want something that I can either play in the background or when I do listen to it with all of my concentration I want the familiar. I suppose that's why I like the Buble album and the Nickel Creek album I got for Christmas. While both "new"-ish musicians they both have very old school sounds.
Now mind you I'm not saying that this is a good thing. I think one should constantly be on the lookout for new experiences and ways of expanding one's horizons. So with that in mind, if you post a song here, I will listen and critique it. It has to be available for legit download and preferably from iTunes.

They all have such nice teeth and skin for medieval peasants!
I'm quite the opposite when it comes to music. I'm constantly on the look out for new songs, bands, and sounds: or at least ones that are new to me.
When I hear a classic like "Safety Dance", I just think how tired the song is since I've heard it a thousand times before.
I'll have to think up some tunes to suggest.
Though you've already read about them, Scott, for the benefit of your readers here's my post about some new music.
