I have often said that if someone looked through my music library that they wouldn’t know what to think given the eclectic mix they would find.  I realized this today as I listened to my “Upbeat” playlist.  Here is a sampling:

Said the Whale “I Love You”

Amanda Palmer “Leeds United”

CKY “96 Quite Bitter Beings”

Florence + The Machine “Shake It Out”

EMF “Unbelievable”

Katrina & The Waves “Walking on Sunshine”

Arctic Monkeys “I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor”

Daft Punk “Get Lucky”

Gary Numan “Dead Sun Rising”

I will leave off the Gorillaz, Black-Eyed Peas, Jesus Jones, Pharrell Williams, Pink, Pink Floyd, Pink Martini, Richard Cheese and others. Yeah, I have a bit of everything on here including classical and jazz. Variety is not something I am lacking.

But what can I say – with the right music, my energy soars – my focus is great – it is amazing what it can do for me. So why not make it weird and varied.

Oh and yes, I know some of these shouldn’t be “Upbeat” but they work for me.
