Lindy music advice

I'm thinking back to when I started AT and the hardest thing then was dancing in time to music that had no discernible beat (as traditional AT music doesn't). So I bought some CD's and listened while tapping along and I think that helped me to "get it" much quicker.

Well, with Lindy I think the issue will be getting my feet to "rock-step, dum-de-dum, step-step, dum-de-dum" (yes, Joseph makes us sing that as we practice) without me having to think about it.
So, I figure listening to the right kind of music and tapping my feet might help me to "get it" quicker this time.

Anyway, the internet is so full of info, I can't make sense of it at the moment, so bearing in mind that it's Hollywood Lindy (I think - very smooth, not very bouncy/jumpy):

Can you suggest some suitable tracks/discs for a beginner please?

TIA.
