May first draft

The weather is finally getting more predictable here, predictably lame if you ask me, but at least the sun has made a few appearances. So May needs some upbeat stuff, light and airy. There are a few birthdays this month too, so I can't be too much of a downer. I predict some Sasquatch artists will make the cut as I prep for Memorial Day weekend, as well as some in-the-car-alone singable sunny day tunes.


Abba- Take a Chance On Me
Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Zero
Elvis Costello- Tart
The Cardigans- Daddy's Car
Stars
TV on the Radio
Cloud Cult

We'll see how this continues to take shape as May day approaches.

Adds:

Peter Sarstedt- Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)

The Kinks- Sitting by the Riverside

Eric Hutchinson- Rock & Roll (I know this was in April too but it's so happy)

Brian Eno & David Byrne- Life is Long (and pretty much the rest of that CD)

Josh Ritter- Girl in the War

Cage the Elephant- Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

MGMT- Electric Feel

Just got the Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band cd... love it.  I think this may become one of the summer soundtrack cds. Here's the add for May:

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band- White Shoes

Especially for an uncommonly warm May night.

Ok, so I just added the following 3 to the draft:

Andrew Bird- Fitz and the Dizzyspells

Wynton Marsalis- School Boy

The Airborne Toxic Event- Sometime Around Midnight (Acoustic Version)

Really, they only are on there because I got them from the free Starbucks pick of the week thing and I like to put those into whatever playlist I'm making just to see if I actually like them.  So far, they're holding their own, I'll put the May playlist to the test right now since it's pretty much the perfect May day.  Anything that gets skipped is going to be booted from the list and I'll have something final so I can just start sitting back and enjoying my work instead of continuing to labor over this thing...
