Comments on: Why You Should Like… Thomas Dolby http://popdose.com/why-you-should-like-thomas-dolby/ your daily dose of pop culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Madelynhttp://popdose.com/why-you-should-like-thomas-dolby/comment-page-6/#comment-64343 Madelyn Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:23:51 +0000 http://popdose.com/why-you-should-like-thomas-dolby/#comment-64343 As a 12 year old, cutting my teeth on "new wave" in the swampy plains of south central Louisiana, had someone told me that my idol, Thomas Dolby, would eventually record a song in which he mentions (and mispronounces) Opelousas, a stone's throw away, I would have probably fainted. (Had someone told me he was going to do a zydeco-flavored song, I might have been offended to the core of my being, but I learned to like Cajun and Zydeco in the intervening years, so that by the time I Love You Goodbye crossed my ears, I found it charming, not horrifying!)<br><br>I truly adore Thomas Dolby's music, especially the sci-fi new wave of his early work. In the years when every single pop song was another love / breakup song, to my geeky, weird ears, his music (and that of my other idol, Peter Schilling) was a breath of fresh - or at least machine-scrubbed, recirculated by the space-ship - air. My friends thought I was weird, although it was only the tip of the iceberg. <br><br>I'm so glad he's still at it.

I'm so glad he's still at it.
