Playlists: An Itching for Spring


I am, without a doubt, a Winter Person, but even I know when enough is enough. It's always around this time every year that I begin getting sick of my friend Old Man Winter and wish the sad bastard to go. We are on the crease. Spring is nigh. The pic above is of my son, last Easter, doing his bad-ass Springtime Walk. It's how I walk when I listen to this little soundtrack I put together to help me through the fold. Hopefully, it comes soon and we all come out alright.

  1. MGMT - "Time to Pretend"
  2. The Thermals- "Returning to the Fold"
  3. Panther- "Puerto Rican Jukebox"
  4. Hot Chip- "Bubbles They Bounce"
  5. Andy Palacio- "(In Times to Come)"
  6. K'Naan- "What's Hardcore?"
  7. Times New Viking- "Drop-Out"
  8. Lightspeed Champion- "Everyone I Know is Listening to Crunk"
  9. Wire- "Three Girl Rhumba"
  10. George Pringle- "I'm Very Scared Buster, Yes at Last"
  11. YACHT- "Platinum"
  12. Vampire Weekend- "Oxford Comma"
  13. Sufjan Stevens- "Chicago"
  14. No Kids- "The Beaches All Closed"
  15. Throw Me the Statue- "Lolita"
  16. Black Mountain- "Angels"
  17. Talking Heads- "Psycho Killer"
  18. Gingerbread Patriots- "The Day I Dies"
  19. Liam Finn - "Second Chance"
  20. Black Kids- "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance"
  21. Wolf Parade- "Shine a Light"
  22. The Velvet Underground- "Who Loves the Sun?"
  23. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists- "Timorous Me"
  24. The Strokes- "Whatever Happened?"

I know it's no fun if you don't actually have these songs to stack yourself. Maybe if you are lucky enough to know some pasty, hairy, chubby white guy who does, he'll make you an old fashioned mix-tape. Maybe one day I'll get fancy enough to post some kind of player where you can all listen here. I tried imeem, but I couldn't get it to work right. I'll take any suggestions.
