What's your guaranteed, go-to, mood-lifter song?? I have mine, but so far, they're not working. As a matter of fact, they're having the opposite effect.
I woke up this morning, feeling the need to get some endorphins going asap, but life got in the way. I now need pick-me-up, before going into the dreadful afternoon. You know I don't like those, no matter how beautiful they are... I need musical intervention... stat.
Any suggestions?
I'm guessing around 5, I'll even be willing to give Rush a try...
Ziggy!!!!

Look a little northwest on I-90 for your answer

I will confess to just having a little mini dance-a-thon to Donna Summer...which helped. This is a perfect. And laughing at the phrasing of the answer. :)

Yes, Mommy's alright. :)

How about some Halp from the notoriously user-friendly 3Bulls! weblog?

Songs NOT to listen to:
"I Know Its Over" The Smiths
"Epitaph for My Heart" Magnetic Fields
"Funeral" Band of Horses
"Commit a Crime" Mr. Airplane Man
"Hate Is All You Need" Camera Obscura
I would try New Pornographers "Letter From an Occupant"
or "Essential Wear for Future trips to Space" by Ballboy
"Its a Hit" Rilo Kiley
I love Halp Mi!

Anything by Joy Division or Sisters of Mercy.

All helpful, but Pinko! Well, he was kind of helpful. NOT!

Danzig vs. Shakira always gives me a chuckle.
Anything by Joy Division
You could go post Ian Curtis, and blast Bizarre Love Triangle at full volume, and embarrass the lamblets by shaking your boo-tay all around the house.

I love Bizarre Love Triangle and shake my booty to it often. The lamblets are used to seeing me shake my boo-tay all around the house and would probably join me. Now outside of the house is a different story. :)
LOL @ Danzig!

"These Are The Things" by Black Box Recorder.

Free Hot Lunch. Do you have any tolerance for neo-folksy, jazz-inflected acoustic trio with a twisted sense of humor and incessant tequila thirst?

Probably.

This mood seems to be cyclical. Yesterday's late is tomorrow's early...

ZRM- I'll keep an eye out... so far, nada.
Posted by: Jennifer | July 16, 2011 at 12:54 PM
the email choked on the multiple files.
Broke it up and sent em separately.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | July 16, 2011 at 01:58 PM
I think my New Pornographer's song was actually on point, but no, Pinko never gets any credit.
Posted by: Pinko Punko | July 16, 2011 at 03:54 PM
Ok, I'll admit, I didn't listen to it until just now. I think if I'm going to think of an upbeat song that reminds me of Pinko though, I'll listen to, "Bohemian Like You".
:)
ZRM- all emails came through.
Posted by: Jennifer | July 16, 2011 at 04:43 PM

Somehow, I seem to always think of a Weird Al song....
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | July 16, 2011 at 04:54 PM
ZRM is right, this does make me think of Pinko.

Posted by: almostinfamous | July 20, 2011 at 06:54 AM
