I don’t always listen to music when I write…

…but when I do, these are some of the artists I enjoy.

So I’m sure by now you’ve all heard the saying, “Dance like nobody is watching,” right? Yeah, me too. It’s a phrase I like, and while I don’t always follow the hidden meaning behind it (*spoiler alert* – it’s not about dancing), I enjoy seeing other people that do. More specifically, I enjoy seeing people who do exactly what it says, and that’s dance.

There have been dozens, if not hundreds, of videos around of people kicking off their Sunday shoes to strut their stuff in public. Recently though I came across this one on You Tube of Angela Trimbur getting down at the Galleria Mall in Sherman Oaks, California. It’s an awesome video to watch, as Angela is not only attractive, but damn, that girl can dance! It’s cool to see the way people interact with her as well, and what she does to grab their attention as they pass on by.

However, what interested me most about this video was not the dancing, but the song that was playing. Fancy Footwork by Chromeo. I’d never heard of it, or the band before until I saw this. So that sent me on down the rabbit hole. First to iTunes, and then on to Spotify (an amazing service where you can pretty much hear anything you want in full before buying it). I’m currently listening to it as we speak, and it’s got me to thinking that I need to stretch my musical wings more. While I’ve never been a big fan/critic of music, it always seems to be there at the most opportune time in my life, and hearing this song made me realize that there’s a whole whack of good music out there that I’ve never had the pleasure of listening to because I’ve just never had the time, or never really cared to go exploring.

So with that said, I’ll leave you to watch the video, and go do some exploring of your own. Who knows, like me you just might stumble upon some new bands that you like, or maybe even make your own video of yourself dancing like nobody is watching. But if you do, be sure to let me know, because I’d love to see it.
