Wham Bam Shazam! (#29)

alright, so this playlist is coming in a day late with a recycled idea. in my defense, i had already begun building my playlist when jess posted her list of what she's been listening to... which happened to include some shazamed tunes. well this is a playlist of complete shazam goodness. i first heard these tunes on the radio & used the handy little app to figure out what song i was listening to & who was performing it (save one tune which i discovered via daytrotter.com). anyway, i hope these songs strike your interest like they did mine!

Listen to Danny's playlist!
---


1. Dougou Badia by Amadou & Mariam feat. Santigold - COME ON!


2. Up, Up, Up by Givers - this song makes me want to do the raise the roof gesture during the "up, up, up" part. give it a try. you won't be disappointed.


3. A Candle's Fire by Beirut - these fellas sound so distinguished. shall we waltz?


4. This Head I Hold by Electric Guest - UHN! this is a toe tapping booty shaker. kinda has a tightrope j.monae vibe to it. i keep waiting for big boi to drop it!


5. Origins by Tennis - COME ON!


6. The Only Place by Best Coast - i wonder where this band lives & whether or not they enjoy living there.... hmmmmm. do they ever have fun? honestly though, i think this song owns atmosphere's "Say Shhh" song... the midwest needs a new anthem in my humble opinion.

7. The Look by Metronomy - for some reason this tune has a david bowie vibe for me... in my mind i keep imagining my friend joey cavalier dressed up as him, dancing strangely to this song. close your eyes & imagine him snapping along with me.


8. God From The Machine by Santigold - Santigold making her second appearance in this playlist. she is rocking my world & rapidly climbing my favorite artists list.


9. Generals by The Mynabirds - love when the beat changes in the chorus.


10. Rise To The Sun by Alabama Shakes - danny likey.


11. Dogpile by The Fling - this is the one i found on daytrotter. just randomly decided to check them out & i'm SO GLAD i did! their EP is quite good! and by quite i mean askjdfhoiquwhtawtaweoy4wotyvaoiurtyoavw4ytouavwet9my329yo9q4ytmouavygouachwou3ry3ouwrouihaewtmiouahvweugvhacew!!!

12. Otherside by Delta Spirit - i'm really diggin' this song. just gonna be honest & let you once again into my strange brain: for this one i imagine elton john as a chipmunk. just go with it.


13. Ho Hey by The Lumineers - this one's been getting a ton of play recently & i'm sure folks will be sick of it soon if they're not already... but i love it. and i'm gonna go ahead and dedicate this one to my beautiful girlfriend :)


till next time!
