Axwell & Dirty South

Ok so initially you're going to think this track is very clubby or housey but when this shit climaxes on the dance floor it hits hard. Lower volumes and shitty speakers are going to make it sound unspecial. Dance.



Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap (Axwell & Dirty South Remix) (Mediafire)

I'm also including the original which is pretty good especially in the movie 500 Days of Summer where it plays twice.

Bitch I Feel Good

Damn this song is fun to play loud. Needs bass.

Confetti

I'm going to go ahead and jump on the bandwagon with this one. This song is getting a lot of attention and with good reason. You want it.

White Lies

Don't be discouraged by this band's horrible name, or the emo track title "Death". I actually wish this song was by the Killers, because then the Killers would still have what they used to. I mean, this song is REALLY polished. The keyboard and drums that roll in around 1:38 are really great. Every listen is better and better.

Unfortunately for everyone White Lies disabled the "embed" function on their music video, which is pretty good.

These Days

Ok, so to the people who already have this song obviously Wes Anderson gets the props for the find because, as you know, it plays in that awesome scene from the Royal Tenenbaums. To all the people that don't have this in their music library yet, get it now. Nico was a glamourous German singer/actress/model from the 60s and 70s. Need I say more? Definitely one of the slower tracks so don't throw this on if you're jacked up right now.

I wish it was sunny

This song doesn't have the smack you in the face feeling a great new song may have, but there is definitely a time and place for it. If it's sunny and you find yourself laying on a blanket looking for that perfect song while you're surrounded by long hair, marijuana, macrame, and joie de vivre, this is the one. I'm trying to say that I would love to hear this one at an outdoor music festival.

HYPNTZ

This song is one of the best. Video is mediocre.

Forever

This song never got as famous as it should be. I've had it for a year and it's still one of my favorites. Lame music video though, I wouldn't even watch it if I were you. I'm adding the youtube clip just for the audio, if you want to play it change windows.

My Girls

People kept telling me how awesome this song was but for the first five listens I wasn't terribly impressed. Once I saw this video I got it. If you can full screen this shit, jack the volume, and do any kind of drugs, you should. Now. What turned me off about this song is that nothing really happens for the first 3:00. But the video and the drugs made up for it.



My Girls by Animal Collective (Mediafire)

A lot of remix potential here, but I haven't found a good one yet.

Music for sunsets

I was alone watching the sunset on a beach in South America this January and two songs came on that really nailed the moment. The first, Sans Soleil by Miike Snow, I had never really liked before. Turns out when you're watching the sunset this song is incredible. Do not try to listen to this if you're in an energetic mood, or if you can't play it loud.



Sans Soleil by Miike Snow (Mediafire)




No vocals here. Great song for a good sunset.

You want this in your music library.

Woodstock was cool and this song is cool too.

Video Appeal

This post is all songs that I like because they have sick music videos.



Not the best standalone song ever but this music video makes me want to listen to it.

Baby Baby Baby by Make the Girl Dance (Mediafire)




This Yeasayer song is good and the video makes it rock. I love the guy slamming the drum on top of the mountain. The other notable song from their recent album is ONE.

Ambling Alp by Yeasayer (Mediafire)




If you missed this video a couple years ago it's awesome. The song is cool too but I prefer the Danger Remix.

Divine by Sébastien Tellier (Mediafire)

This song is awesome. If you get freaky on the dance floor when you're hammered, or if you do any other drugs, you should check out the diplo remix.

Amsterdam



If you missed this one by Peter, Bjorn, and John then you owe me a big thanks, because this song is great. Crush a bowl and turn it up.

Washed Out



Washed out is part of a movement dreamy music overtaking the internet scene. I didn't really get it until I was high but now it makes perfect sense. Play it loud while you hang.

Feel It All Around by Washed Out (Mediashare)



Oh my god I love this song. LOUD.

New Theory by Washed Out (Mediafire)

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros



This song is great for moments when your life feels like a slow motion scene from a Wes Anderson movie. As is the case with all music, the louder it is, the more you'll feel it. So turn this jam up and fucking enjoy it.

40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (Mediafire)



I'm not sure which of these is their best song but both are fucking epic. Great roadtrip track.

Heads Will Roll



This song will rock any drunken dance floor. Crank the volume and see what happens. Also good for working out.
