You know those songs that make your feet move? And you can't stop even if people ask you to?
Well, these are the songs that do such thing to me.
They might not be about "happy" things but the melodies are catchy as hell. Most are short, some are under 3 minutes but hey, that's how long most good pop songs are.

tracklist

1 Maia Hirasawa : And I Found This Boy

3 Camera Obscura : If Looks Could Kill
My second favourite song after Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken. As always, Tracyanne's voice brings you to another world. This song is one of the few upbeat songs in the album.

5 Annemarie : Bubblegum I See
Hailing from Indonesia, this band is signed on to Sweden's MIMG and Peru's Plastilina. You can either describe their sound as twee pop or jangle pop. Or both. Whatever you decide, you can be certain that these folks make some of the cutest and catchiest song these days.

6 The Pipettes : Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me
The Pipettes, The Pipettes, The Pipettes...
Hmm, you know how Phil Spector's girl groups sounded like? Well, The Pipettes are like that. Addictive, short upbeat song. 3 pretty girls (I don't know why I mention this fact) with voices that compliments each others'

10 Belle and Sebastian : Sukie in the Graveyard
It's impossible to make this sort of mix without including Belle and Sebastian (not to mention they are my all-time favourite band). Their last two albums have more upbeat songs that their previous albums.

11 Tullycraft : Twee
In my opinion, the best song in the album. Classic twee song. The title itself refers to the Twee genre and mentions 14 Iced Bears (a twee band). Fast jangly guitar and beat.

12 Pelle Carlberg : I Love You, You Imbecile
I am in love with this song. And you should be too.
The album has the wittiness and humor as Hello Saferide. Wonderful, intimate (folk-ish) pop song.

13 Rilo Kiley : Portions for Foxes
And I shall conclude this mix with a Rilo Kiley's song from their latest album. Jenny Lewis's voice is...for lack of a better word, orgasmic and add to that the catchy (I've said this word 1000 times) riff. A perfect way to finish this mix.
