not for spring break idiots.

stop.

are you a freshman in college going on your first spring break? are you already drunk? then stop reading, as i have nothing to offer you, and you gross me out.

are you an adult? do you hold down a full time job? is getting drunk more work than its worth? then read on fellow mellow-



this blog is for those of you who are not the kind that think sand in your bikini bottom is a hazard of the 'experience'.



i'm making a list of the most mood boosting, spring break-y albums for grown ups. here goessssss.


1. hot hot heat- elevator (2005)
it's actually a really good album. i always sing along, and it runs the gamut of fun mildly different emotions.
song to start with-  'running out of time'


2. hanson- underneath (2004)
guys, hanson is really good now. like really, really, really insanely good. they make genius pop music that instantly puts anyone with ears in a fun, dance party mood.
song to start with - 'lost without each other'


3. talking heads - the best of talking heads (2004)
it is technically cheating to put a 'best of' album on here, but its just so flawless.
song to start with - 'girlfriend is better'


4. lauryn hill- the miseducation of lauryn hill (1998)
if you're a 90's child like me and you don't put this cd on every list you make you're bananas. i almost cannot function without it.
song to start with -' doo wop' DUH.


5. the format- dog problems (2006)
if you like FUN. but wish they were more ... fun.... look at the lead singers old band 'the format'. they have solid sound and witty lyrics.
song to start with- 'dog problems'


6. ben folds- rockin' the suburbs (2001)
this is so obvious its insane.
song to start with - 'zac and sara'


7. amy winehouse -back to black (2007)
swingy, sassy, salty. this album smells like old ciggys and stale booze. put on your ray bans and exude the attitude.
song to start with - 'me and mr jones'


8. amos lee- amos lee (2005)
at some point you'll be laying on a deck or poolside and you'll want something really chill and fun to put on.
song to start with - 'dreamin''


9. jason mraz- tonight not again (2005)
a great live cd, perfect jason mraz sampling from his early days when he was a talented individual. put on while you're driving to your destination and time will fly.
song to start with -'common pleasure'


10. poison- the best of poison (remastered 2006)
i know, another best of, but its POISON.
song to start with - ' talk dirty to me' obviously.



enjoy your break suckas!
