A little bit of Dutch dance music to start the day off right.

Ain’t no party like a 90s dance-mix party.
I picked this song up in a random sampling of dance tracks from an iTunes mix last year, and it took a few listens before I realized that this was in fact “the” Donna Lewis.
I’m a big fan of how HAIM managed to really capture that ’80s power ballad feel in this song, while adding just the right mix of modern dance pop.
For the amount of listens I’ve given Halcyon Days, I really should check out Ellie Goulding’s first album.
In retrospect, the switch to a more pop-focused sound in this song, almost seems like a preview of Tegan and Sara’s Heartthrob album.
I feel like this instrumental track from Daft Punk, is a perfect example of how well they managed to mix traditional recording techniques and instruments, with a progressive electronic sound on their latest album. It’s not easy to sound retro, modern, and original all at the same time.
It was definitely worth waiting the extra month to import the special edition of the album from Japan.
Before this album came out, the only Tegan and Sara song I knew was “Walking With A Ghost”. A little over 6 months after picking this album up, I was watching them perform the majority of it live in Montreal.
Needless to say, it was one of the best impulse buys that I’ve ever made.
For some reason, the line in this song’s always sounded like “sweet muffins” to me.
While I still vastly prefer Radiohead’s first 3 albums to the rest of their catalogue, a few of their newer songs (ie: released in the last 12 years) are starting to grow on me.
