voting is live for one week!

 

At this rate I'm gonna do my Video Game song playlist in two years. Had enough songs I wanted to share to push this back.

I Against I - Massive Attack

My usual Massive Attack entry!(featuring Mos Def) You may have heard of it from Blade. It's a banger and a a great song to exercise to

Far Away - Cut Copy

Cut Copy kind of fell through the cracks, they were somewhat popular last decade but alas never really broke out. I added two of their songs to this playlist as I had a hard time choosing

Roses - ABRA

If this song had come out now, I think it would have been a hit, but like Cut Copy she was just a bit too early

Brand Nubian - Brand Nubian

Had to get a funky 90s rap song on here! You've heard this on San Andreas.

[Can't Get My] Head Around You - The Offspring

This takes me back to being a teenager in the early 2000s in suburban New Jersey

3005 - Donald Glover

I really wish he hadn't retired last year but I think Childish Gambino will be back

Toubouk Ine Chihoussay - Etran De L'Air

Three words: Tuareg Blues Rock. Shoutout to our late head admin for recommending me this

oh baby - LCD Soundsystem

My favorite song of theirs post reunion, and possibly overall!


Is It True - Tame Impala

Tame Impala has this thing where half of his songs is the best thing ever, and the other half is decidedly not, but I think both parts of this one are good, though you have to be in a specific mood for the 2nd part.

Dark Days - Local Natives

Like a quarter of songs I download are ones I've heard at a coffee shop. This is one of them. Very nice if you're in a relaxed mood, preferably not in the middle of New York City. I played it during a Labor Day barbecue in the Catskills and it fit the setting completely

Hearts On Fire - Cut Copy

See first Cut Copy song
