Pick Me Up

On my office computer, I have a folder named "Pick_me_up". It is subject to continual change and consists of the silliest, happiest, cutest, dumbest songs that I own at any point in time. Every time I am feeling overwhelmed with work, a client, or am simply in need of a little cheering up, I bust out the Pick Me Up mix. Here's what in it today:

1. Hot chip: Over and Over
Because it makes me wiggle in my seat.
2. Ladytron: Destroying Everything You Touch
Because it reminds me of a big loud FUCK YOU. In all honesty, I am not sure why I think that as I've never even tried to listen to the lyrics...but well, that's really not the point, is it.
3. Justin Timberlake: Sexy back
What can I say. I'm sucker for cheese. Justin is my hero!
4. Belle and Sebastien: There's Too Much Love
Because any Belle and Sebastien song reminds me of Prof. Grady and thinking of him, in turn, makes me smile.
5. Drajeto: Jambol
Bacause Drajeto is my favorite underground hiphop artist. Whatcha laughing at?!
6. Teddybears Stockholm: Yours to Keep
If drinking-lemonade-while-riding-your-bike-in-the-middle-of-the-summer, by the beach, could be a song, it would be Teddybear Stockholm's Yours to Keep.

You know the drill, but in case you're new to this place, WHAT'S YOURS? Lalalalala

P.S. For all Netage folk, the folder is shared.

1. Cut Chemist "What's the altitude"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AVHXe-ol-s
Listening to it makes me feel like I'm 15 again and I have no explanation for that.

2. Lili Allen "Knock 'em out"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-4LW09UZpY&mode=related&search=


3. NAS "If I ruled the world"- the girl I share a room at the office with and I play it every day. To us it's like the evening news to my grandma.


4. Michael Jackson "Billie Jean"- it reminds me of the time when Dan saw snow for the first time in his life and made every woman in the club want to leave with him. All in one night.

5. LCD Soundsystem "Daft Punk is playing at my house" I always spill my coffee when it starts.

1. The Dresden Dolls - "Coin-Operated Boy"
The idea of a coin-operated boy sounds very appealing sometimes :)

2. The Bleatles - "Besame Mucho"
The perfect version of this song!

3. Faith No More - "Spanish Eyes"
"Please, say Si! Si! Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me!"

4. Blue October (feat. Imogen Heap) - "Congratulations"
A wonderful song on a dark gloomy winter morning in PA. "My mind, it kinda goes fast"

5. Gin Blossoms - Memphis Time
It really makes you feel like you're there.

6. Pennywise - "Still Can Be Great"
I know, I know :) BUT, a really good message!

7. Устата - "50-50"
Тая песен си я пускам като се чувствам особено зле, за да си докажа, че винаги може и по-зле да е :) Поне не съм Устата!

8. RHCP - "Especially in Michigan"
This song takes me back to Ann Arbor and my very, very happy 5 weeks there.

Забравих едно парче, за което Петя публично ще ме линчува и ще се отрече от познанството ни сигурно :)

Ивана - "Това е парчето"

Наистина, това е :)!

1. Imogen Heap - The Walk. It just puts me in a better place
2. Paris Combo - any song by them really, makes me pretend I'm in some Paris nightclub, and the fantasy of it all improves my mood
3. Lyle Lovett - Church, cuz it makes me laugh
4. Loretta Lynn - anything by her makes me want to get up and sing
5. Devendra Banhart - Long Haired Child -- Adam keeps playing it, and I can't get it out of my head, but it makes me feel good everytime I hear it

aha, petya, i love that ladytron track!

here goes my pick-me-up list for the moment (it changes a lot) in no particular order. the songs don't match stylistically AT ALL either.

1. shiny toy guns -- le disko

2. gillian welch -- my first lover

3. born ruffians -- this sentence will ruin/save your life

4. bright eyes -- spent on rainy days

5. the cure -- boys don't cry

6. anything sleater-kinney, but okay,SK -- get up

7. animal collective -- the purple bottle.

and then there's the fact that when i'm feeling down i prefer to listen to depressing music in most of the cases.
