PLEASE let this be spring! (#14)

We are all Minnesotans, whether transplant or homegrown, and it is our duty as Minnesotans to have an acute awareness of the weather. Back in January Jessica put up a playlist that helped us embrace those dark, cold days of Winter. This week will be the beautiful other side to that coin. This weekend and week ahead will bring us the best weather we've seen so far this year. We will finally be able to feel the Sun! In honor of this joyous occasion let's listen to some fun music! Grab a Maibock and boogey people!




Listen to Joey's playlist!!
------

1. Cameras, Matt and Kim - "Pound my steering wheel we yell to the windshield, I’m finally home! I’m finally home!"... I feel you dog. I feel you. 

2. My Doorbell, The White Stripes - I love The White Stripes! I know they're not everyone's "Cup O Tea" but you can't help but bob your head to this one.

3. Bang Bang Bang, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. - Bang! Bang! Bang! You're dead Winter!!!

4. Don't You Worry, Jim Noir - Even a "mild" Winter like the one we are coming out of can get to you. We always seem to make it out ok though.

5. Automatic Stop, The Strokes - It is a proven fact that your level of "Cool" goes up when you listen to The Strokes.

6. Houdini, Foster The People - I love it when Mother Nature pulls a Houdini and magically turns Snow Banks and Drifts into Puddles and Streams.

7. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, Vampire Weekend - No band screams Spring and Summer more to me then Vampire Weekend. These guys are easy Summer listening at its finest.

8. Can You Discover, Discovery - How about a quick shot of some smooth Pop for that booty!

9. It Takes A Muscle, M.I.A. - Oh you want some more super smooth Pop music? Ok!!!

10. Roll Away Your Stone, Mumford & Sons - I'm pretty sure that if you play this song loud enough, the temperature will go up by about ten degrees no matter where you are.

11. This Too Shall Pass, OK Go - This one cracked my Top 10 in 2010. Awesome awesome song about gettin through it. 

12. Young Folks, Peter, Bjorn, and John - I hear this song and I'm instantly transported to the beach. BBQ anyone?

13. You Are The Best Thing, Ray LaMontagne - Baby, It's been a long Winter baby, and this freaking Sun is the best thing that's ever happened to me!

14. Sidewalk Safari, Chairlift - This is one of my new favorite songs! It's wild, and crazy, and you can totally blast this with the windows down! UUGH!!!!

15. In The Sun, She & Him - An obvious choice for this playlist, but uber appropriate non the less.

It is March so technically it could be snowing again next week, but let's not worry about what we can't control. Let's just enjoy the Sun, and the birds, and the short sleeve shirts, and embrace the puddles and the mud, and the dirty streets. Put on some good tunes and soak it up people!
