I have been a huge fan of Major Tom since the first time I heard it on XM last year. Probably one of my all-time favorite choruses; it doesn't get much hookier than that.

To continue with the New Wave theme:

Well, dont really listen to that type of music much. Then again, I am 17.

Queensryche- Silent Lucidity

[Gowienczyk]

Age has nothing to do with taste for the most part...

Your sample media is nice. Pretty relaxing.

But yeah videotime on my end:

Nice. Some funk/soul/etc. would be a great addition to the RB catalogue.

However, whenever I see anything from Soul Train I can't help but think of the 'Soooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuul Mass Transit System' from The Simpsons.

Here's my contribution, Girlfriend Is Better by Talking Heads. This is taken from Stop Making Sense, a fantastically great concert film/album. This is the song where the legendary Big Suit is first worn.

Nice and funky. I really like the bassline in that song, and this is a really good performance. Also, any video that showcases David Byrne's dance skills is great.

Deerhunter - Agoraphobia

Nice and funky. I really like the bassline in that song, and this is a really good performance. Also, any video that showcases David Byrne's dance skills is great.

What is sad is that I have based most of my dance moves off David Byrne. Rest assured, it has gotten me some odd looks whenever I hit the dance floor.

Maxïmo Park - Our Velocity

[Gowienczyk]

It's alright, there's something about it that I don't quite like though; not sure. Meh.

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Meg & Mia

[Soror_YZBL]

It's very catchy, in a banal sort of way. I'd probably get the single and listen to it twice before it became one of those songs I skip when it comes up on my iPhone.

Swans - Saved
