I made this mix to put a little sunshine in my day if I'm feeling down. Every track is mood boosting in some way or another: lyrics that hint at escapism, gorgeous melodies straight out of the Lennon/McCartney playbook, or simply a bit of joyous/playful/silly musicianship that brings a smile to my face.

tracklist

1	asobi seksu : Strawberries
	Listening to Asobi Seksu makes me believe summer can last forever. Their music is a beautiful wall of noise with a sweet, sugary vocalist in the middle of it all. SHOW MORE

4	The Cure : Gone!
	Robert Smith of all people (the same guy who wrote albums like Pornography and Faith) tells us that we need to get up out of bed or else we'll be missing the world! One of those goofy happy Cure tunes in the same vein as "The Lovecats" or "Why Can't I Be You?" SHOW MORE

	Track Description: A rabel raising, fist pumping song if I've ever heard one. SHOW LESS
6	Weezer : Don't Let Go
	That "oooh oh woah" is just BEGGING to be heard reverberating around a stadium... or within the confines of your car whilst confused motorists watch you chant along like a caffeine riddled maniac. SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from The Green Album Length: 00:03:01 Year: 2001
	Track Description: That "oooh oh woah" is just BEGGING to be heard reverberating around a stadium... or within the confines of your car whilst confused motorists watch you chant along like a caffeine riddled maniac. SHOW LESS
7	XTC : The Loving
	In my opinion, XTC is the most creative 'pop' band to ever exist. 'Oranges and Lemons' is my favourite album of theirs, blending so many feelgood elements together to create the perfect summer album. "The Loving" is one of many contenders from that record that could have made it on this mix. SHOW MORE

	Track 8 from Screamadelica Length: 00:03:47 Year: 1991

9	The Divine Comedy : Songs of Love
	A blissful little tune that eventually turned into the theme music for 'Father Ted'. FECK! SHOW MORE

	Track Description: A blissful little tune that eventually turned into the theme music for 'Father Ted'. FECK! SHOW LESS
10	Fountains of Wayne : Better Things
	In making a mix filled with sunshine and such, I wanted to avoid many of the 'traditional' melody makers of the 60's - The Beatles, Beach Boys, et al... but I couldn't stay away from Ray Davies. This cover version by bubblegum rock band Fountains of Wayne takes the tune up into the stratosphere. SHOW MORE

14	Kenna : I'm Gone
	This song may or may not have inspired one or two quasi-intoxicated singalongs in a public place from your correspondent here. It's idle speculation however. SHOW MORE

15	Tom Jones : Somethin 'Bout You Baby I Like
	Tom Jones could make a weeping Eleanor Rigby jump for joy. This has got to be one of his better songs. Manages to hit that special nerve when you have a secret crush on someone. SHOW MORE

16	Manic Street Preachers : Australia
	The ULTIMATE in escapism and what I feel is a cracking way to end a mix. "I want to fly and run till it hurts, Sleep for a while and speak no words, In Australia." Strangely elegiac and uplifting at the same time. SHOW MORE
