Playlist
What am I listening to? So glad you asked.
"Collapsing at Your Doorstep" by Air France--In the unlikely event that I ever find myself zooming along a Pacific Coast highway in a convertible with the top down, this is the song I want playing on the stereo. It's a propulsive mix of lush electronic arrangement, distorted vocals, and fragments of sampled dialogue. Just the thing to ward off my seasonal affective disorder.
"Believe the Hype" by Lookbook--Lookbook is a local band that I've grown to love over the last few months. The lead singer, Maggie Morrison, has a rich, seductive voice that blends perfectly with the dark, smoky beats. I almost want these guys to sell out and have their songs featured on some television show, just so more people can hear how great they are.
"My Delirium" by Ladyhawke--This New Zealander has crafted some irresistible pop music that riffs heavily on the Eighties. She captures the pure fun of that decade's music without cheesing it up. And I read somewhere that she has Asperger's Syndrome, so she's got disability cred to boot.

Haha! Disability cred...

Hey, you could go zipping around lake Calhoun in your scooter rocking some Air France. I think you could make the argument that it *technically* is a convertible... arguably scooters don't "zoom", but that's semantics...
