my soundtrack notes

Inspired by Laura, who has suggested that I create a post of my own (you should too!), rather than respond to hers, my soundtrack notes, loosely following her template:

when the weather is hot and the sun in shining and i'm driving, particularly on a highway, preferably on a road trip: trans am

when it is raining and no one has to get up and go to work and instead i and my beloved get to stay in bed, etc: rachel's

when the summer day is so long that the sun is still intense at 8:00 in the evening and it makes my heart break with anticipation for something out of reach until i can hardly stand to be in my own skin: konono no 1 congotronics, bedouin soundclash

when i need to feel: gonzalo rubalcaba

when i need to shake shake shake: delta 72, sharon jones and the dap kings

when i want to remember the joy that hans gave me and/or want to feel youthful hope for the future: the futureheads

when we have people for dinner (no more than 6): third person , jablkon & sveceny

when we have parties: orishas, hiphop paris-dakar, willie dixon wang dang doodle

when i'm trying to wake up: the alarm clock, npr drive way moments

when we're playing scrabble or chess: curlew north america

when i need to laugh: atom and his package

when i feel like my heart will break for no particular reason: tom cora it's a brand new day

when i want to pretend i'm still 14: fugazi Repeater

when i want to pretend that i'm still 7, learning to dance with danny dicarlo, in my parents basement: the police syncronicity

when i'm home alone, in my underpants, and i want to play air guitar: drive like jehu

when i'm home alone, playing online or reading by myself: wilco a ghost is born, uz jsme doma
