Dani’s Recs: Spring Cleaning

I decided it was about time to do some spring cleaning on my iTunes library. Honestly, I tend to listen to the same few artists (David Bowie, Talking Heads, Pixies, and the Velvet Underground) over and over again, and I end up forgetting about many of the other amazing artists I have on my iPod. I set out to clean up my library, and--in that process--found some great stuff that I forgot I had.

1. Crazysexycool and Fan Mail - TLC



This amazing female trio was a vital part of my child hood. I can't believe I forgot I had TLC on my iPod. I will probably have "No Scrubs" stuck in my head for a while.

2. Dance Party in the Balkans - Alaska in Winter

Overall, this album could be described as a Dance Party in the Balkans. I could to listen to “Close Your Eyes- We Are Blind” on repeat for hours.

3. Remixes Vol. 1 - Ratatat

I remember that I first listened to this album in my friend’s house in high school. I am such a sucker for a good mash-up and I am stoked to have rediscovered this album.

4. The Lion King Soundtrack



What else can I say? "Hakuna Matata."

5. Deep Cuts - The Knife

The Knife is electronic music duo from Sweden with a pretty enthralling sound.

I didn’t find this while cleaning up my library but my co-worker brought this album back to my attention a couple months ago.

Whether you are interested in any of these artists or not, I suggest that you take the time to clean up your library. It is a great way to clean up those files, rediscover artists and relive your childhood.
