antiquitea posted her annual
summertime mix last week (check it out! it's awesome!) which reminded me that I was due to get mine out there. This is, by far, one of the most upbeat mixes I've made in a while. All of the songs either remind me of summer itself, or are just things I've been jamming out to lately. It's a real eclectic bunch of stuff. 'Like Brazilian Tropicália? It's in here. 'Got a hankering for viking folk metal? You won't be disappointed. 'Dig songs about socially awkward computer programmers with unrequited feelings for the office receptionist? Dude, I've totally got you covered. Plus, stuff from Eagles of Death Metal, Take That, and Arcade Fire (featuring David Bowie!).
As always, comments and feedback are lovely. Here's to a great summer!
oo1. Speaking In Tongues - Eagles of Death Metal
♫If I should touch you
You won't know what has happened,
You'll speak in tongues
And you will feel your heart race
Oh Lord!
oo2. A Namorada - Carlinhos Brown
♫A namorada tem namorada
A namorada tem namorada
Tem irmao
Grudado em sua cola
Na porta da escola
Mas nao tem chance nao
oo3. She's a Genius - Jet
♫If what you know is who you are,
Then she's everything
You don't need an education
To know the class that you're in
oo4. Code Monkey - Jonathan Coulton
♫Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you a lot
oo5. Longships and Mead - Glittertind
♫When thinking of our good old men,
Who sacrificed their lives
For our freedom, our joy,
A wooden pint we'll raise!
- For our freedom, our joy,
A wooden pint we'll raise!
oo6. Love Love - Take That
♫We don't have too much time here,
and time it travels far too fast!
We're not too far we're turning,
before they take it from our hands!
oo7. Wake Up - Arcade Fire (ft. David Bowie)
♫Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust
