super bowl sunday #9

that's right. it's super bowl sunday. the day where men all around the world huddle around their televisions, drink beer, eat pizza & watch football. so i thought it'd be fitting to dedicate this playlist to all the women out there. in alphabetical order... my top 15 artists or bands that have a female lead. this one's for you ladies (in a non-creepy voice).


1. Bad Things by Cults - did i mention i was upset that these folks didn't end up opening for foster the people when i went to see them?


2. A Commotion by Feist - this whole album (metals) is incredible! get it if you haven't.


3. The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit - might be going to see them in the near future... if you're interested in going you might want to give some money to matt axelson... just sayin'...


4. Earth by Imogen Heap - even though this is an instrumental version, the instruments are all her voice. this chick is SO talented & creative.


5. Dance or Die by Janelle Monae - she can rap and sing. obviously the next lauryn hill. (don't hate me for saying that)


6. Settle Down by Kimbra - just now starting to get into her music, but she accompanies gotye on "somebody that i used to know"... and it just so happens that she'll be joining gotye in concert when he comes to mn!!!!


7. Pursuit of Happiness by Lissie - ***WARNING! EXPLICIT LYRICS!!!*** dang. this chick does some amazing covers.


8. Rich Kids Blues by Likke Li


9. Pull Up The People by M.I.A. - pull up the people, pull up the poor.


10. Don't Move by Phantogram - probably my favorite song right now. REALLY fun to dance to!


11. Dark Star by POLICA - couldn't get through this playlist without some POLICA... which actually happens to be the band that ended up opening for foster the people... so all in all it was a pretty damn good concert.


12. In The Sun by She & Him - she can act, she can sing, she's funny & she's a fox. done.


13. Cruel by St. Vincent - this chick's music is really strange and wonderful.


14. Bizness by tUnE-yArDs - !!!!!!!!!!


15. Down Boy by Yeah Yeah Yeahs - i've been such a huge fan of the yeah yeah yeahs for quite some time now. karen o is a complete nutcase and i love her for it. listen to "tick" from the "fever to tell" album & you'll know what i mean.


there you have it folks. happy super bowl sunday!

  3. How dare you include a song with the F-Word!!! (I have yet to make it through a playlist without letting the Effenheimer loose. Sorry sensitive blog readers) Dude.... Lissie slays that song! Kid Cudi would be proud.

    I love that Poliça, and Lykke Li made the cut again. If there was an SOS All Star Team it would probably consist of Bon Iver, Sufjan, Lykke Li, and Poliça. They get tons of love on here!
