Weezer, “O Holy Night”

I planned on posting much more holiday music, but Christmas kind of crept up on me. At any rate, here is a classic by Weezer to get you through the week. Only seven days left!

OK Go, “I Want You So Bad I Can’t Breathe”

We’re so close to the weekend, lovers. Here’s a song to get you through the final hours. Pay attention to the lyrics. Do you remember feeling this way when you were first falling for someone? Or, maybe you’re there right now. It’s hard to concentrate when that person is in your proximity. I think this song captures that feeling perfectly. 

Bon Iver, “Holocene”

Two things: 1) Everything that Bon Iver does is magic. 2) This guy is up for a few Grammys, including Song of the Year for this track.

Happy Monday, lovers. I hope this makes the start of your week a little better.

Phantom Planet, “Winter Wonderland”

Let’s kick off the holiday season with a remake of a classic. I’m sure I posted this song last year, but Phantom Planet’s version is one of my all-time favorite holiday tunes. And, that’s saying a lot, considering my Christmas music collection is pretty extensive (what can I say? I’m a sucker for jingle bells or anything about snow). 

I hope this puts you in the spirit. Make some hot cocoa, curl up by the fire and play this song.

Florence + The Machine, “Shake It Out”

Will Florence Welch ever disappoint?

This lively track is the first single off of the Brit’s album Ceremonials, which was released last week. The album, in its entirety, shows no signs of a sophomore slump. In fact, it gives fans — new and old — reason to believe that Welch is an unstoppable force in the music industry. 

Here’s to a beautiful Saturday night, lovers. 

Junior Boys, “In The Morning”

I love going through my older music collection. I’ve played this song about 40 times today. I bet you that I play it at least 20 more times before I fall asleep.

Sorry that I’m keeping it short and sweet tonight.
