  1. Cruella – Bad Bad Hats
    This pop-indie trio band got me all hooked up after listening to their ‘Midway’. But this track is good as well.Also, listen to ‘Psychic Reader’. It’ll pump you up throughout your depressing evening.
  2. Place To Be – Nick Drake
    A friend of mine actually introduced me to Nick Drake and I instantly fell in love with his songs. His music ia so genuine and there’s nothing pretentious about him at all. If you pay a little more attention to his voice, it has a lot of similarity with Jack Johnson.
  3. To Love Somebody – Janis Joplin
    I mean, come on, everybody needs a Janis in their playlist.
  4. Wildest Dreams – Ryan Adams (Cover)
    Let’s be honest here, Ryan Adam’s version of Taylor’s 1989 is waaaayyyy better.
  5. Our Swords – Band of Horses
    Excellent bass. Bad-ass beat. The sound of a good bass makes me happy.
  6. After Hours – We Are Scientists
    After so many years, I can still listen to this song on repeat.
  7. West Coast – Lana Del Rey
    This song remains to be one of my favourite tracks. Ever.
    California, Pink Floyd, all rolled up into one.
  8. Lone Ranger – Lucy Rose
    It’s so funny, whenever I listen to this song, I can’t tell whether I feel cold or warm. Not that it’s not a good feeling, it’s actually very good. Try listening to ‘Scar’, easy listening at its best.
  9. M.I.A. – Borders

    M.I.A. did it again.
  10. St. Jude – Florence + The Machine
    With its meaningful lyrics and beautiful arrangement, this became one of my favorite Florence + The Machine’s songs, it’s like a mad mantra, that brings me peace.
  11. Light Me Up – Flyte
    Give it a listen!
  12. Indigo Puff – Sundara Karma
    And this!
  13. Stay Loose – BRONCHO

    This brings me back to the 80’s.
  14. Trouble Man – Marvin Gaye
    I started listening to Marvin Gaye thanks to this track.
  15. Leave It All – Bil Musa
    You don’t often come across to good music like this. Bil Musa is local btw.
  16. Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin
    No argument here. Led Zeppelin belongs in your playlist.
  17. Crosstown Traffic – Jimi Hendrix
    Woodstock anyone?
  18. Talk Is Cheap – Chet Faker
    I like how Chet Faker keeps his music mellow and warm. Check out the cover he made on 2013, ‘No Diggity’. Cool stuff.
  19. Just To Make You Feel Good – Adam Green & Binki Shapiro
    They both sound a lot like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. It gives you that 60’s vibe that you’ve been longing for.Listen to Here I Am and If You Want Me To. Binki reminds me of Karen Carpenter sometimes.
  20. At Home – Crystal Fighters
    An old one. But worth a listen.
  21. My Father’s Father – The Civil Wars
    The chemistry between the vocalists is ridiculous.
  22. Amsterdam – Gregory Alan Isakov
    I’m just mad why he’s not famous.
  23. Help Me Lose My Mind – Disclosure ft. London Grammar
    This track is so legit, it makes me wanna party all night long. I don’t even like partying.
  24. Little Whiskey – Angus and Julia Stone
    Wanna listen to some real music? This is real music.
  25. Babel – Mumford & Sons
    If you’re into folk like I do, Mumford & Sons, would do justice.
  26. Games – Teen Girl Scientist Monthly
    This track has a charming and playful melody that’s being rendered with tight and tense rhythms. Not all would like this track, but it is pretty dope, you either like it or you hate it.
  27. Specks – Bed Rugs
    Something different for you to ease your ears with probably?
  28. Freazy – Wolf Alice
    Hmm, how shall I describe the sound to you… Ok, so this band kind of like masters variation of 90’s alt rock, and they mix ’em all up, from the Smashing Pumpkins to Pixles. I think you kinda get what I mean.
  29. Don’t Wanna Fight – Alabama ShakesHell
    Yes. Thank you Grammy!
  30. Radar Detector – Darwin Deez
    Father of all hipsters. Or Hipster Jesus.  This track should be in your playlist. The music is cute as hell.
