Voxtrot- Start of Something
good for: fans of Belle & Sebastian, times when you don’t want Top 40 but you don’t want wristslitting piano ballads
Old Crow Medicine Show- Wagon Wheel
good for: those who are not averse to bluegrassy-folk. if you’re at all into that genre, you will be very into this. also good for people who love campfires.
Yo La Tengo- I Feel Like Going Home
good for: when you want to reflect, but not wallow. this song is really beautiful.
Billie the Vision & The Dancers- Summercat
good for: enjoying sweet jangly summer pop that mercifully falls just short of twee
Beirut- The Penalty
good for: when you want an acoustic guitar ballad without the obligatory soft spoken and tortured singer-songwriter
The Cure- Just Like Heaven
good for: pretty much anything. this song manages to be sad and happy and pump up-y and mellow at the same time. it might be the best song in the world.
Alexi Murdoch- All My Days
good for: staring at a sunset
Plastilina Mosh- Pervert Pop Song
good for: simultaneously showing off your disco dancing and limited spanish translation skills
