Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad.
Tricky one this, but interesting! I am the sort of person whose music taste does differ by mood, so let's see...
Happy: Usually most of the stuff on London Calling by The Clash. So much uplifting stuff. Here's three tracks straight away:
Rudie Can't Fail
Wrong 'Em Boyo
Revolution Rock
As well as that, you've got all the lovely summery stuff by The Beach Boys, the entire Blues Brothers compilation 2-disc my dad has, the American Graffiti soundtrack (so general 50s and 60s American music and rock 'n' roll), stuff like that. Here's one I was dancing around unashamadly to the other day from the Graffiti soundtrack, Come Go With Me by the Del Vikings, top notch doo-wop :D
Sad: hmmm, tough one. I have plenty that I listen to when I'm a bit angry, whether that counts I don't know. This is where your angrier end of punk rock comes in, for example:
Rise Against - Tip The Scales
I still remember one particular day blasting this out on the headphones on the way home from college, it was a particularly crappy day, raining hard, but this tune had a sort of cathartic effect, like the anger and power was mine as well as theirs. Made the day feel that bit better for it. A lot of Bad Religion and other Rise Against tunes have this effect on me too.
A lot of AFI's back catalogue has a similar effect on me, so atmospheric and gorgeous, really good stuff. Again, the perfect tonic to depressing cold nights:
End Transmission
The Missing Frame
