Mood Music
Dimmukane:
Right now I'm pretty sad. So I'm listening to this on repeat, pretty much. If I wanted to be happy, I'd listen to Black Moth Super Rainbow or Art Brut, or something like that. Also, Gregor Samsa.
2HourHiatus:
Definitely have to say that Okkervil River is the top band that I listen to when I'm sad, just to enhance the mood.
But happy music would have to be Boards of Canada, later Flaming Lips albums, or Animal Collective. Maybe that style of psychedelic music in general does it for me.
scarred:
There's more where this came from, but these are the cornerstones to my morose / contemplative / ponderous / self-deprecating playlist.
Are You Really Naked Under There? - Manchester Orchestra
To Build A Home - Cinematic Orchestra
Skinny Love - Bon Iver
Watching the Streetlights Glow - Forest City Lovers
Home - Radical Face
Shuffle Your Feet - Marla Hansen
To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens
Chicago - Sufjan Stevens
Badges and Badges - Andy Hull
To Have A Crush - Cassettes Won't Listen
Freeze and Explode - Cassettes Won't Listen
Black Swan - Thom Yorke
Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine (this one's a guilty pleasure)
Will:
Not to turn this into a blog-type thread, but I was reaching pretty disgusting levels of awful mental conditions yesterday, to the point that doing something fatally stupid was becoming quite tempting, so I threw on Converge's "You Fail Me" and basically renewed my defiance and resolve to stick around. So while it didn't make me "happy" per se, that definitely elevated my mood in a positive manner.
I've found that I like to listen to really atmospheric rock, along the lines of Dredg of the Deftones when I am in a pleasant mood, and that stuff makes me happier.
Good hardcore records - American Nightmare's "Background Music," Modern Life Is War's "Witness", Defeater's "Travels," stuff like that - makes me happy. It's angry sounding music, but if makes me happy.
De_El:
I listen to The Boatman's Call a lot when I'm lonely. Also: I find myself playing a lot of Bohren und der Club of Gore on days after I've been out all night, not necessarily hung over, but feeling a certain comedowniness and I'm just not sure what to do with myself.
