Let’s go back to a simpler time where your only worry was homework and will it be sunny over the weekend. Let’s get those arms out stretched and ready to dance with that one crush you’ve had all year… it’s time for the Junior High Dance Party. 

These are songs that I remember from around 91-94 that would be played at our awkward Jr High dances. Oh nostalgia.

So I like Spotify it’s pretty neat. So I pulled these songs together through a “related artist” link hole. These are all relatively new to me song or artist wise. If you follow the playlist on Spotify I will keep it updated. I tend to flock toward unknowns or not super popular artist. Mostly in the Baroque Pop category, but I also enjoy other genres as well.

Thanks to inthefade for the Brand New suggestion

Anymore suggestions?

I need new music

Can you suggest me some music (songs, bands, albums, etc) based on this list of my most listened to Artist?

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things. We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less."
