Mixtape of the Week - 5.30.10

LET'S GET PUMPED! It's time for mixtape of the week.

This week I'm feeling positive, on top of the world, and summery sunny. I don't know precisely why, but I feel good things coming. Thus, a mix to reflect optimism. (Don't get used to the positive vibes, though. I tend to be a grumpy 22 year old.)

Mixtape of the Week - 5.30.10

1. Langhorne Slim - Restless
Self-explanatory. Best song of every summer.
2. LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls
Duh. I'm not a drunk girl, but my friends are pretty damn fun when they are.
3. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Janglin
Wrote a feature on Edward Sharpe and you'll be seeing that soon.
4. Pearly Gate Music - Oh, What a Time!
Remind me to tell you more about Pearly Gate Music - it's totally the second coming of Okkervil River/Bright Eyes!
5. Melpo Mene - Dream About Me
Love the feel of this song. It's absolutely perfect pillow music.
6. MGMT - Brian Eno
I hate this song so much that I like it. Plus, I associate Eno with U2, and brilliance.
7. Japandroids - To Hell with Good Intentions
They closed with this song, a Mclusky cover, when they played the Grog Shop. I dig the line, "my love is bigger than your love."
8. Best Coast - When I'm With You
The recipe for a raw summer. "When I'm with you, I have fun." So simple.
9. The Tallest Man on Earth - I Won't Be Found (Daytrotter Session)
I knew I couldn't keep this whole mix happy. But music this gorgeous is impossible to hide for sadder days. The Tallest Man on Earth is becoming something of a hero in his genre.
10. The Juliana Theory - We're at the Top of the World
Aaaaaand we're back in high school. The happiest song I know.

Enjoy.
