Now that it's gotten warmer, my playlist has transitioned from slow, mellow music to more upbeat road trip music. I haven't been this happy with a playlist for a while so here are a few songs that I've been listening to on repeat:
Opposite of Adults-Chiddy Bang
Giving Up the Gun-Vampire Weekend
Side Note: Not sure why they chose Joe Jonas to be in their video...but there are a lot of other good cameos.
Tenuousness-Andrew Bird
(this is an AMAZING live version-probably my favorite live performance ever)
Side Note: Check out his other performances In the Basement because they're unbelievable. (Section 8 City is another great one)
Airplanes-Local Natives
Side Note: I recommend getting the entire album (Gorilla Manor)
Doesn't the intro kind of remind you of No Cars Go by the Arcade Fire?
Excuses-The Morning Benders
There's a little 1 minute explanation in the beginning.
Side Note: The Morning Benders new album is exponentially better than their last one and this is one of the best off of Big Echo. If you liked this, check out this excellent cover done by youtubers:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD072SlIIWU
So(ul) Amazing-Blu&Exile
This totally makes me think of summer days in the city.
Diplomat's Son-Vampire Weekend
Love, love, love. Unfortunately, no video. Just amazing sounds.
Connect For-Common Market
Need a pick-me-up? Listen below.
Hey London-Chiddy Bang
I would have liked this so much more without the Alvin and the Chimpmunks-esque track that keeps repeating. Not sure if the rest of the song makes up for that annoying helium voice...
World Sick-Broken Social Scene
The guitar intro-ing in is what I imagine heaven sounds like.
Breakneck Speed-Tokyo Police Club
Not the normal fast paced music you expect from Tokyo Police Club. Perfect for long drives with the windows down.
Just a quick sampling of what's on my ipod. Leave your thoughts. Or go outside, sit back, and let the music do the talking. It's gorgeous out.
