My Love Affair With Electro Swing

Confession: I totally fangirled.

I dare you to ask me what music I like to listen to. Well, one hour I'm really craving some Brad Paisley or "Florida Georgia Line." Next hour, all I want is the bass and summer vibes of "Sublime With Rome" or the "Dirty Heads." Mix in some "Green Day" and "Angels and Airwaves." Later on, I'm mentally playing along with my favorite Bach violin Partita. If I'm stuck in the car with only the radio, it's the classic rock station, hands down. So who says I have to choose just one?

Confession: I totally fangirled over my recent discovery of the electro swing genre. A friend introduced me to the group "Caravan Palace," and my own obsessive YouTube exploration frenzy went from there. Think, EDM fusing with the 20s to 40s-Gatsby-era-big-band-Charleston time period. Now, I'm no expert on the genre and I don't claim to be. I'm just another music fanatic that was easily hooked on the vibe, beat, and nostalgic big band feel that the genre revolves around. The new sound was irresistibly intriguing to me. So here's a few of my favorites (so far!) that you have to hear to believe.


1. "Lone Digger" by Caravan Palace

Crazy funky animated psychedelic video.

2. "The Queen of Swing" by Swingrowers, featuring Gypsy Hill

Don't be fooled by the calmness of the beginning pizazz

3. "Thrift Shop" by Bart & Baker Electro Swing Remix

This is genius. Can't get enough of her voice.

4. "Looking Like This" by Lyre Le Temps

Catchy chorus, original style, some humor, the change to 'speaking' actually grew on me

5. "Bella Belle" by Electric Swing Circus

Light and perky...looking mighty swell..

6. "Bad Boy Good Man" by Tape Five


7. "Box of Secrets" by Zarif

Open up your box of secrets take one out for me...

8. "That's right" by Swingrowers


Damn can she sing! Love the chorus.

9. "Jolie Coquine" by Caravan Palace


How to do without you...Plus some priceless stop motion video action

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
