I’ve had a growing urge to share a few music/dance videos that catch my fancy but have always delayed and then felt awkward trying to catch up. Came up with the idea to just make it a “regular” feature on the blog: Doug’s “Daily” Music Video Picks. Make a Youtube Playlist for it (which will 100% show off some spoilers early on since I’m probably going to pre-load a few of these). Let that build up to around a month’s worth of songs and then cycle through. Or let it just grow to infinity. Either way.
Of course, Daily Music Video Picks makes it sound like I am going to do this daily. Absolutely not. I’ve gone back in and added irony quotes around “Daily” just to verify. I have a backlog right now but after that it might be more like once a week.
The song picked for DDMVP #1 is Sezko’s “Safe Place.” A band, and a track, that would have absolutely ate in 2005-era Hot Topic. It would have crushed the Huntsville mall scene so hard that it comes dangerously close to making me feel nostalgic just thinking about it.
It’s not just the band’s style — though it is that — or their blend of Japanese and English (about choosing to end a potential good relationship rather than risk the hurt)… it is the whole package.
Astounding track to kick this off.
Sezko seems pretty new to the whole scene and only have one other song released — “Shed It” — which would also fit. I’m down with keeping an eye (and ear) out for this one.
Doug’s Daily Music Video Picks is a series of posts highlighting various music and dance videos from Youtube. Not actually daily. It might not even all be music or dance videos. Absolutely picked by me, though. Usually I have to like both the song and the video, but we’ll see.
You can see the most recent songs here: Doug’s Daily Music Video Picks [Youtube Playlist]. Size of that list will change as the mood strikes. Playlist might contain spoilers for unpublished posts. Just enjoy.
