Just Figured I'd Put It Out There...

Looking, I guess, for inspiration or something of the sort, I found this site a little while ago. I haven't given it much of a look yet but what I've seen seems promising. Lots of playlists.. An interesting find, I thought, so I figured I'd share it with you. [Even though nobody reads this blog. Sad, that - but oh well.]

And Now - Finally! - An Actual Playlist [Heute Ist Mein Tag list]

Since this blog is actually supposed to be more than just Song Of The Day posts, we finally bring you something different - a playlist, one of the other things that's supposed to be posted on here. [As for why they aren't, it's because I tend to make playlists that are never finished. I guess no playlist is ever actually finished, though - this one could still be added onto.]

Anyway, I'm sure you've had times where your day has been an absolute crappy mess. Sometimes you wish you had some nice, upbeat things to make you feel better, no?

This is my playlist of most of the happy, upbeat songs that I currently have. Some aren't as upbeat as others, maybe, but I tried to find all songs that sounded happy and had a positive feeling behind them. [It was actually a little hard to find them. I don't actually have too many happy sounding songs! I may need to work on this.]
As a forewarning, some of these songs are quite awful. But sometimes listening to ridiculously dumb-sounding songs makes you laugh, so then you're happier, which is the point of this list.

Playlist title: Heute Ist Mein Tag [that's german though; translation is Today Is My Day]
1. Life - E-Type
2. Heut' Ist Mein Tag - Blümchen [the song that inspired the playlist name, obviously] *
3. Pocket Full Of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
4. Break It Out - The Rocket Summer
5. Friday I'm In Love - The Cure
6. Ready For The Good Times - Shakira
7. Smile Like You Mean It - The Killers
8. Angel - Sarina Paris
9. Come On Feel The Noise - Quiet Riot [also spelled Cum On Feel The Noize]
10. Pressing On - Relient K
11. Androgyny - Garbage
12. Sunshine Highway - Dropkick Murphys
13. Call 'N' Return [Say That You're Into Me] - Hellogoodbye
14. October Nights - Yellowcard
15. Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford
16. How Do You Do! - Roxette
17. Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow
18. Caramelldansen - Caramell * *
19. Shake It - Metro Station [no, you do not have permission to knock me upside the head for my suddenly extremely cheesy music choices. xD I am sorry.]
20. Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom - Vengaboys
21. Fell In Love With A Girl - The White Stripes
22. Ich Liebe Dich - Tokio Hotel *
23. Best Friend - Toybox
24. Dragonfly - Smile.dk
25. We're Going To Ibiza - Vengaboys

* Interchangeable with any other version of the song, of course. [I have three versions on my list!] Sorry to anyone who hates this song and got it stuck in their head upon reading the title!
* These songs aren't in English.

How about you? Anyone else have any songs or even playlists that are good for making you feel happier even after a day full of things not going your way?

-------------------
Also, within the next few days I hope to be starting up a few more things on this blog aside from the SotD. Planned are the following:
Sharing a few themed playlists of mine,
Birthday posts for members of bands/solo artists I know,*
Links to music lists, other music blogs, etc.

...Possibly other things I haven't thought of yet. [Sorry, I know this stuff's not a lot!]


*Because I can't know the birthdate of every single person involved in music, but if it were easier then I'd make an effort to do that. Gradually the list of artists included will grow, I'm sure.

About The Blog

Now, if you're a fan of the following music genres, this blog will be of little or no help/interest to you. Unless, of course, you like things other than these genres.
- Rap
- R&B
- Hip-hop
- Country
- Classical
- Latino
I can honestly say that I generally cannot stand these music genres, so your chances of finding any songs in them on this blog are pretty slim to nonexistant.

If you do not share my opinions on music found [or not found, even] on this blog, please don't go on a rant about it. They're my opinions, you don't have to agree with them.
Also, if I happen to post something about a song that has become an internet meme that I'm most likely unaware of, and you have some extreme burning hate toward the song because of this, it doesn't mean you need to flame me.

Song Of The Day 1

Today's [actually Feb 19, even though this was technically posted Feb 20 [early morning]] song of the day is:
Walk Away - Franz Ferdinand
From their album You Could Have It So Much Better.
