I've decided to go for a pretty upbeat and happy playlist this week, seeing as the weather is b-e-a-utiful!
MONDAY: Siberian Breaks - MGMT
One of the longest songs I have ever heard. It's like three or four songs in one. It's so chilled out and definitely a lot different from MGMT's most popular stuff. I like the direction in which they went with their most recent album, and I'm anticipating the next one quite a damn lot!
TUESDAY: Shake The Ground - Cherri Bomb
This is a song I've been learning to play on guitar (along with numerous other Cherri Bomb songs) and it frustrates me because I can't quite get the hammer ons/pull offs during the main riff! However, listening to the song makes me happy anyway because I can still sing along to it.
WEDNESDAY: Junk of the Heart (Happy) - The Kooks
...because a happy and summery playlist would not be the same without The Kooks. They're a band I've loved for a long time (did I ever tell you about how my dad met them before they were famous? I don't think I have) and their music makes me so happy and smiley, yay.
THURSDAY: Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I really hope I get to see the Chilis sometime soon. Isle of Wight or Reading next year would be nice, please. They're also a band I've loved for many years, in fact one of the ones I listened to growing up. I can't remember a time when I didn't like RCHP. I hope they carry on for as long as they can.
FRIDAY: Interlude: Holiday - Paramore
Their interludes on the new album are so adorable! I love all three of them and this is the first that springs to mind when I think of summer and happiness. I have also sorted out the dilemma of what to do in terms of getting there and back, now the only thing left to do is put the plan in place!
SATURDAY: Radio - Lana Del Rey
Lana's music is (mostly) really happy and feel-good, and of course she is a wonderful person who fills me with happiness too. Okay... that was really cheesy, but it's true. I love Lana and I love her music, so this is why I have included her in this week's playlist.
SUNDAY: No Way Back - Foo Fighters
And of course, I couldn't not include my all-time favourite band. The band who are the most feel-good for me. Oh, and Chris Shiflett (one of the guitarists) followed me on Twitter. That is an awesome claim to fame right there, right? So here's a bit of the almighty Foos, fronted by Jesus himself (Grohl).
I always love your playlists; you've introduced me to so many new songs! It's so awesome that your dad met the Kooks :o
ReplyDeleteAwh thank you, well that's the aim! :) Hehehe yeah, he met them when they were supporting a band at the Wedgewood Rooms, they asked him for a lighter and he told them they were better than the headline band, and then a few months later they were famous.
