I am forever looking for new music. Usually it’s pump-up, workout-type tunes for which I am in constant search. Exercising most days of the week, I cycle through my music pretty quickly and can grow to find my playlist mundane. Here’s where suggestions come in. These can come in human form, or ever-increasingly through electronic sources. iTunes is always “recommending” artists and songs it thinks I might like based on previous purchases, and they are usually pretty spot-on.
Most recently I was directed toward the latest Euro-sensation, Two Door Cinema Club. Likened to such favorites as Phoenix and Franz Ferdinand, TDCC is catchy from the first listen. With their “happy melodies and robotic synths” these guys had me from Play. I downloaded them early this morning and took them to the treadmill where I pounded out five miles. With the help of this snazzy band I cruised through my run, despite hating the treadmill right now. TDCC was just what I needed to get out of my workout mix slump. Their single “What You Know” has started hitting the airwaves, but I also like this ditty and think you might also. Enjoy!
