I am complete: the Indie Dance playlist

I love music. Here is my music history in a nutshell:

I grew up listening to the "oldies" with my mom. It festered an amazing love for the Beatles and a lot of disco era music. In middle school I got sucked into pop music pretty heavily. Matchbox 20, Ben Fold Five, Will Smith, and my favorite: 'N Sync. Oh, JT, how I STILL love thee...



In high school I loved some Hip Hop and R&B. Busta Rhymes, Usher, and a ton of others. I also had an All American Rejects moment and a long moment where I was into techno and trance type music. Have I mentioned I love to dance? Um, yea.



My greatest love in terms of music was yet to come- Indie music. My husband is very into music and writes and plays music himself. It took me a lot of "what the bleep is this stuff" to warm up to some of the artists I had never heard of before like The Flaming Lips, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Sparklehorse. But now, I don't know where I would be without them. My favorite of all is Arcade Fire and so I guess you could say that my new playlist is heavy on them.



The Indie Dance Playlist
1. Howlin' for You by The Black Keys
2. Ready to Start by Arcade Fire
3. Electric Feel by MGMT

So, this is what gets me pumped. What's on your list?
