Music to Change the World By
I remember fondly Dave posting once a season his current playlist, but it’s been a while so I wanted to initiate this. Here are my top picks for June. What music are you listening to lately? What drives you, inspires you, and makes you want to change the world? Or just to drink a beer to?
K’naan – Take a Minute
K’naan – Waving Flag
Cinematic Orchestra – To Build a Home
Blue Scholars – Evening Chai (and anything else from that album)
MGMT – Brian Eno
Miike Snow – Animal (and anything else from album)
The Very Best – Warm Heart of Africa
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Home
That’s it for me! What makes you shake your hips, or gives you goosebumps?
Florin, out!

Take a Minute by K’naan is definitely on my playlist (K’NAAN COME TO UBC!!!!)
Nomathemba-Ladysmith Black Mombazo (this song gives me calm)
GLEE (cmon’ give me credit for admitting it!)
Anjulie’s latest album
Love and Happiness- Al Green
Summer Wind-Frank Sinatra
Elysa, I never knew we had so much in common! <3
I love glee too! (so does the rest of the world apparently)
I also really like Edwarde Sharpe’s Home (the only time I ever wanted to live in Alabama and Arkansas).
Another fave of the moment is the XX’s Heart Skipped a Beat…
Other than that, the usual by the Format, and Snow Patrol’s old stuff
Good thinking Florin. Here’s my playlist…
Inspiring:
Ohio by Neil Young
Settler by Balmorhea
Oh My by Sweatshop Union
Enchanting:
Monkey and Diamond by Joanna Newsom
Road Regrets by Dan Mangan
Summer listening:
My Girls by Animal Collective
Young Hearts Spark Fire by Japandroids
Nice. Here is a random mix of my current favourites:
This River is Wild – The Killers
Good Luck – Sondre Lerche
Primitive Man – Fruit Bats
I’m Every Woman – Chaka Khan
Woza Meli Wami – Soweto Gospel Choir
Dan Mangan’s album, Nice Nice, Very Nice
Kusursuzsun – Emrah (no, I don’t know what the song means, but that’s okay)
Not all of them will be inspiring for everyone, but they always lift my spirits, even on the roughest of days!
