Too many ideas, not enough implementation.
Plenty of dreams, not enough luck.
Putting together a monthly playlist for myself and all four of my followers seems like a waste of time on some levels. Then again, how would I change if I won a Powerball jackpot? I'd be making playlists on a newer computer from my fancy new solar-powered house with a fabulous view of a river, lake or ocean. Don't underestimate the influence of beautiful landscapes and soundscapes - all sensory input is impacting you deep down in your biological core whether you are aware of it or not. I like to think that each song I randomly (or purposely) select for a playlist is just part of a jackpot. I don't have the winning numbers, but I can have the good soundtrack.
1. Did You Give The World Some Love Today, Baby? - Doris
Dusty-esque powerful 60's retro anthem. Empowering. Love that whole darn world as well.
2. Doin' It Right- Daft Punk, Panda Bear
Inspired to include a DP song after seeing Colbert dance to the "song of the summer", Get Lucky. Whole album is fun, sincere tribute to disco, might be a good investment.
3. Gotta Work - Amerie
Keeping up with anthems, blasting a funky soulful horn section, rolling up my sleeves and getting to work. Plenty of "Unh, give it to me" attitude.
4. I Hear You Knocking - Dave Edmunds
Random oldie blast for no particular reason.
5. I'd Be Lyin' - Blackberry Smoke
Continue the deep south turn with some southern-fried sound.
6. Dirty Love - Ke$ha, Iggy Pop
Ke$ha actually works hard at seeming not work hard. Dirty love makes the world go 'round too.
7. The World Is Watching (with Valentine) - Two Door Cinema Club
A shower of fresh squeaky clean pop to wash off the dirty love.
8. I See The Void - Sonny & The Sunsets
Pay attention to what's missing. Sarcastic & comfortable as usual, sprinkled with a pretty sunset riff.
9. I Can Buy You - A Camp
What would summer camp be without some harmonica? ...and beautiful Nina Persson vocal that's like wearing a warm cardigan as the summer fades and the chill of autumn arrives.
10. Cave Country - Quiet Life
Sweet harp melodies drift lazily across the canyon as the last campfires of summer burn out.
11. The Devil Ain't Lazy - Pokey LaFarge
Enough enough enough, let's get back to work. Squirrel Nut Zipperish fun time.
12. Me, Me, Me - Middle Brother
if it's not you, it's me me me. Rompin' rock n' roll like Chuck Berry 50's inspired track.
13. Tennessee Mambo - The Carter Family/June Carter Cash
Let's dig a little deeper into those Americana roots...
14. I Get Ideas - M.Ward
and all this led me to the modern west coast summarization. Ideas beget ideas.
listen. share. love.
listen. share. love.
