This week has brought us some of the most gorgeous weather we’ve had so far this week in NYC, and something that marks a definite shift in season for me, personally, is when I trade the typical winter depressive-type playlist (I can generally gauge how bad things are by how much Eliott Smith and Death Cab I’m listening to) for material that’s a bit more…fun. Summery. The type that makes me bounce a little more than usual when I’m walking down the street. The stuff that you’d listen to whilst barbecuing with friends, or drinking beer on some stoop in Brooklyn, watching kids play in open fire hydrants.
My current playlist is after the jump, and in Talk Shop Friday tradition, go ahead and add yours in the comments.
