Bag of Hammers by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
This is by far my favorite song of the past month. Something about it is just so addicting. It gets stuck in your head. Try it.

Be Cool

Be Cool by Lake Street Dive (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
This is a pretty chill and funky tune by Rachael Price. She’s a badass jazz musician out of Tennessee and was only 22 when she recorded this. This is one of my favorite tunes.

The Man In The Santa Suit by Neal Halstead (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
A folksy song about a guy in a Santa suit. This is probably one of my favorite Christmas songs

Working Part Time by The Henry Clay People (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
A lot of bands sound like The Hold Steady, but not a lot of them sound better or this rocking. Give this song about 2 minutes to get going. You’ll be happy you did

Song to Bobby

Song To Bobby by Cat Power (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
The singer Cat Power typically does covers on her albums. On her 2008 album this is the one song that’s totally original. It’s also my favorite. It’s about a gal trying to tell a guy to be her man. It’s sweet and awesome

Escape Instrumental

Mausam & Escape by A.R. Rahman (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
This is a track from AR Rahman. If you don’t know him, he’s an India composer who has sold more than 150 million records worldwide. Time magazine has referred to him as the “Mozart of Madras” and in 2009, the magazine placed Rahman in the Time 100 list of World’s Most Influential People. This is a track from Slumdog Millionaire and it’s pretty awesome. It’s good on a workout mix and should get you through a Monday.

Fun Fun Fun

Five Years Time by Noah & The Whale (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Just a happy little song by Noah. Nothing too complicated which makes it pretty rare summer song that you can cruise around to

Johnny Got a Boom Boom by Imelda May (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Imelda is an Irish blues and jazz singer. She’s pretty badass and this song totally proves it.

Lost Coastlines by Okkervil River (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Such a good song. This song has all of it. Horns, drums, slow, fast, jam and some good lyrics. One of my favorites from 2007. More Okkervil here and here
