Music to Unpack to – Playlist for May

new favorite sweatshirtI love my new sweatshirt.  I may or may not have bought it because I thought I could wear it on our moving day.  Everything deserves a new outfit, right?  Well, we are in our new place and it is time to get all unpacked.  Of course I will have the music on to make it seem a little less like a task and a little more like a party.  I kept these songs fast and danceable.  BTW I’m totally into crew neck sweatshirts right now.  Hoodies are sooooo last summer.  Old Navy has some other super cute ones (haven’t seen too many in the store but online they have a few to choose from) right now.

It was fun rediscovering some old favs with a sprinkling of new.  I kind of felt like I was in high school again.

Here is what I am listening to right now.  I still really like lilting vocals, electronic sounds and big melodies but I can see some rock creeping back in.  Which makes sense considering summer for me is all about classic rock.  I’m obsessed with the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  Like, a lot.  What are you currently listening to?

Travel Playlist for Alt Summit

travel playlist for Alt SummitI’ll be traveling to Salt Lake City soon and the flight will be just under 2 hours.  That is totally doable for me.  I really dislike being stuck on a plane for more than a few hours.  I don’t like to be bored.  I don’t like to be hungry, and pretzels just don’t cut it. This girl likes to eat.  I also don’t like talking to people.  I sound delightful, right?  But I do really enjoy getting some quality time with my music.  Sure I get to listen to my stations in the car from time to time.  And I often turn it on in the kitchen when I cook.  If I cook.  But a few hours of headphones blocking out that pesky outside world, amazing.

Music I’m loving right now – November

Rice krispy treat cake with guitarsApparently I’m in to a ton of music that leans heavily towards electronica.  I also like it to feel a little bit 80′s.

I heard the new one from Tegan and Sara this weekend and instantly fell in love with it.  It’s polished and pretty and it’s on repeat.  Paul Banks is formerly (still is??) of Interpol and his voice delights me.  I wish that it was law that he and only he did all voice over work.  For everything.  He could still sing too, but I just need to hear his voice.  Do you all know Tilly and the Wall?  You know what really sets them apart?  Tap shoes.  Yup, as musical instrument.  Rad.  This song by Haim would have fit perfectly in any 80′s teen movie.  Maybe part of a dress up montage or part of a street rap battle a la Teen Witch.  Apparently I am a big fan of Wild Nothing.  Every single time I hear one of their songs I Shazam it.  I really just need to break down and buy the album.  It is silly to find them on song at a time.  Oh, Chvrches.  How lilting and lovely is this song.  If I could only listen to one song for the rest of the month it would probably be this one.  Metronomy is just super fun and catchy and makes me and the  kids want to get up and dance.  Tanlines rocked my summer with All of Me and now Brothers is creeping up on me.  What are all of you listening to?  Share!!!
