Spring Listening
No doubt about it, winter is a depressing time. Sure, it’s cute in December when there’s still the promise of presents, but by February you feel like every falling snowflake is a nail your coffin. And by you I, of course, mean me. But let’s forget about that now, because it’s spring! The grey icey lumps lining the sidewalk have melted, the sixteen trees in all of Manhattan are blooming, and the Ratatat mixtape has found it’s way onto the, uh, internets.
Happy music doesn’t cheer me up in the winter, it just reminds me that I’m miserable. But in the spring, some hot beats compliment the shining sun like me kissing my boss’s ass. This spring my anthem will definitely, probably, be Silverchair‘s (yes, they still exist, they have a new album coming out, and Daniel Johns has grown up to be a stone fox) Straight Lines. But I’m definitely open to suggestions…
Friends, what music are you listening to, or looking forward to listening to, this spring? What music should I listen to? What should I do with my life?
There are three bands/singers that really remind me of summer sun, and I feel compliment the warm weather well…
1) Jack Johnson
2) Bob Marley
3) Third Eye Blind
That last one is a bit weird for summer, I admit, but it just feels so right to me.
Definitely pick up some Langhorne Slim, Tea Leaf Green and Bishop Allen…they will all have you dancing in the streets.
And get that new Kings of Leon…they are too good.
As to what you should do with your life, have you considered piracy on the high seas? It could be a great career option and the dress code is much better than your typical office job.
