I feel so happy
« on: 12 Mar 2009, 17:49 »

So I was driving yesterday with the windows down because it's finally getting warm around here, playing Cap'n Jazz really loud, and eating McDonalds. it was basically the best thing ever, mostly because Cap'n Jazz, but also because it fit with the driving and the fries and just generally made me feel fuzzy on the inside. anyway, what I want to know is what other activities become exponentially more enjoyable with the right music playing, and what the right music is, for you guys. The Unicorns in the Shower? Daft Punk while vacuuming? Gorgoroth while cooking? Anything.

Ha... Cap'n Jazz is an interesting choice for "feeling happy" music.

I am absolutely happiest when I am playing something energetic really loudly while I am driving - whether it's Islands or All Girl Summer Fun Band or Hanson.  Sometimes it's dangerous though because dancing while driving is probably not the smartest thing to do.

When I'm sleepy and need a break from working/studying/whatever I like to lie down, close my eyes, and crank up some Eluvium. It's probably the closest I'll come to a blissfully meditative state.

I love listening to Thelonious Monk's Monk's Dream in light rain. Or heavy rain, I guess, but light rain is best.

The album There's Nothing Wrong With Love by Built To Spill for when I am feeling down. I don't know why or how but it makes me want to go to sleep just so I can see a better day tomorrow, which usually works.

Black Moth Super Rainbow the morning after an all-night BBQ, it's warm out and there's a light breeze whistling through the curtains.

Agalloch when you're driving through a snow-capped forest with nary a man in sight.

Architecture in Helsinki when it's just starting to snow at a metro station in the middle of the city.

Pretty Lights amongst the sweaty bodies grinding against each other in someone's basement.

The first night my girlfriend spent the night when I visited Alaska last month, I had Cat Power's cover of "The Dark End Of The Street" (title track of the EP) playing. That shit was magical.

What?

Anyway if you wish to feel happy and you are not listening to Cap'n Jazz Algernon Cadwallader will do the trick.

The Thermals while doing pretty much anything.  Specifically at max volume while driving on the Thruway. The Hold Steady while drinking with a bunch of friends.  Also, Wilco while smoking a cigarette or 20 at night.

Don't get me wrong, I love Cap'n Jazz. I just wouldn't exactly say Tim Kinsella's voice makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

To each their own, though.

Tim Hecker after a surf session- preferably after surfing a glassy, barrelling wave. If I had some imagination I'd put some pretentious metaphor here; suffice to say that it's pretty awesome. I swear Timmy wrote Rainbow Blood when he was getting barrelled.

(Sort of related) I have a headphone jack in my ski helmet, I am excited, once I get the right wire I can ski with music playing. It will be ace. Unforunately I won't be skiing again until this winter, but whatever. Once it gets closer I will make a playlist.
