I've been listening to a lot of music lately that's different than my usual stuff (Guster, Copeland, Umbrellas, etc.). I've been really into Dev, The Cataracs, Hyper Crush, and a lot of other dance music. I know, very different stuff. But I've been really digging it for a couple months now, and so has Grace. It's just really fun music to dance and sing to, and it's definitely making car rides more enjoyable.
So along with the groups I listed above, I've also been listening to a lot of LMFAO. I truly feel like I'm the last person in the world to have heard them, judging by their millions and millions of YouTube hits, their bar anthem "Shots" (fun video, by the way), and oh yeah, their Grammy nomination. But eh, whatever. Below is a video of "Yes", probably our favorite song. We dance and sing in the car to this one...pretty much like the guys in the video.
I've also liked their newer song "Party Rock Anthem". I bounce all over the place to this one. Everyday I'm shuffling!
Anyway, something different. It's been awhile since I've done one of these posts.

what? your car rides with me aren't enjoyable? a boo hoo.
No, with you they are great. The drives to work, however...
(whew, good recovery, Mike)
It's only a small step from this to techno.
You're going to be throwing lightswitch raves pretty soon...
Oh god I hate LMFAO. We're not friends any more. Hey - if you like them, you'll love this!

I think that's where I'm heading, Kev...
And I heard that Friday on The Soup. That is not very good...
It's just fun dance music. Nothing more. We can still be friends, can't we =)?
Sure. I've often disagreed on your music taste and that hasn't been a problem. At least we can agree on Guster. And sports.
Haha, okay, good.
What is some dance music that you like?
And Kev, do you have any upbeat songs that you would suggest (no super-techno beats...I'm not ready for that yet...unless you think I might be).
Hmm...I don't really have any good recommedations for hip-house/electro-hop (or whatever genre LMFAO is. There are way too many sub-genres for me to keep track..)
I guess the closest thing that I listen to would be Scooter. I think their most popular is 'Nessaja', but my favorites are 'Fuck the Millenium' and "Posse"
Most of the techno stuff I listen to is Trance, my guess is that you wouldn't like it.
Or maybe try some electro-pop like Cascada or Sylver? I don't listen to that as much anymore, (both are old, I'm sure there are much more recent artists) but I used to like it a lot.
Haha, if you want to go really old, try 'Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins - It's like that'
Old school electro-hop. Good times.
I think I liked 'Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins - It's Like That' the best out of all those. That one was catchy.
I liked the Scooter beats, but I did not like the lead singer. He was shouting too much for me.
Slyver was okay, but nothing really stood out. I wouldn't mind putting a bunch of their songs on a playlist and having them play in the background, though. She had a nice voice.
....mmmm.... don't like dance music.
