Snowy Day Music

It's snowing...and cold...winter time is almost here.  That can also mean an early dose of SAD.  Seasonal Affective Disorder.  The Mayo Clinic defines this mood killer as: "a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year. If you're like most people with seasonal affective disorder, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody."
Well I say funk that...litterally...musical prozac if you will.  This remedy should be taken daily.  Side effects include toe tapping, chair dancing, with a chance of karaoke.  Mixing this with alcohol will only exagerate the effects of this radical playlist. (Click on the song title to listen on Youtube.)

Operate by ASTR
The bass in the song goes pretty hard.  Adjust the bass and treble in your car accordingly......or don't because this song is worth blowing your speakers. "Call me the doctor...."
Cadence by Fractures
Just the right amount of whining about this girl drving him crazy mixed with a trancy melody makes this song a two thumbs up from me.
The Good Life by Elizabeth Rose
Elizabeth starts this song out by encouraging us to multiply, divide, add and subtract.  "Do the math".  Arithmetic never sounded so good....
Overjoyed by Bastille
"Oh I feel overjoyed, when you listen to my words.."  My theory is Bastille has had some pretty irrate conversations with SIRI.
You're the One for Me by Great Good Fine OK
A falsetto on top of a indie pop beat...Get. Out. Of. Town. 
Oblivion by Bastille
When a band can incorporate the cello into their song, I get really excited about it.  This song is beautiful. Enough said.
Pompeii by Bastille
Sounds like it belongs in the Lion King soundtrack.  Simba approved!
Simple Song by The Shins
"Don't go thinkin you gotta be tough.."  Yea!  What they said.  The Shins aren't tough guys.  They wear pink sometimes.  They watch the Notebook and shed a single tear.
Jump into the Fog by The Wombats

The UK has produced some pretty fantastic people.  Jk Rowling, Alfred Hitchcock, Elton John, Isaac Newton just to name a few.  The Wombats live up to their country's illustrious track record.  "I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely, It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery."  Looks like somebody's been hanging out with Russell Brand a little too much lately.


Enjoy responsibly and DON'T let SAD happen to you.

Fine print: 1 in 100 people do not see the prescribed results listed above, but these people do not have great taste in music.  In extreme doses this playlist has been known to cause overwhelming bliss.
