1. I'm a Lady- Santigold
I'm not usually a fan of Santigold, even though she vomits glitter which is awesome. This song is different though, and perfect for those times when you need to throw your hands up and say "hey you, I'm a lady!"
2. Cruel- St. Vincent
I find a lot of music by looking at what is used in some of my favorite t.v. shows. This band, St. Vincent, was used on Gossip Girl. I may have terrible taste in t.v. shows, but I'm not willing to admit it.
3. Dancing Song- Little Comets
This is by far my favorite on this list. It's pure happiness in a song.
4. Somebody That I Used To Know- Gotye, Kimbra
I love this song and last week I heard it on Magic 95, a local radio station. Their catch phrase is "Today's Best Music", but the only way they're playing today's best music is if today is October 27, 1996. So I was pleased to hear them playing something current and something good. This also might be the nicest break up song.
5. Diet Mountain Dew- Lana Del Rey
Along with many others, I was not impressed with her SNL performance. I'm glad I gave her a second shot though because this album is major. Diet Mountain Dew in particular has a rhythm and flow that is so unique and so smooth.
6. Summertime Sadness- Lana Del Rey
7. Baby Says- The Kills
I have no idea what this song is about, but I like it.
8. Stay Gold- The Big Pink
Modern 80's. If Pretty in Pink was made today this would definitely make the soundtrack.
9. While You Wait For The Others- Grizzly Bear
Some epic oohs and aahs. I'm a sucker for those.
10. Go Outside- The Cults
This song is infectious in the best possible way. It will get stuck in your head and you'll like it.
11. White Nights- Oh Land
White Nights is exactly what it should be, light and dreamy.
12. Young Blood- The Naked and the Famous
There are a plethora of songs about being young. For me this is among the best, and it wins best cover art.

I am excited to listen to some of these since I have horrible taste in music and could have probably bought most of the songs they play on Magic95. ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely still listen to Magic95. I even used to record it onto cassette tapes on my karaoke machine (so cool). But they probably need to change the slogan.
