sacame al sol

June 18, 2010

So, I’ve been putting together some playlists and I thought I would share some suggestions with you. You can think of me as your neighborhood DJ or like the iTunes Genius Bar. On that note,  here are some songs that might sound better in the sun.

Oh and yes, some of these tracks are old. Trust me, you are still into them. Especially, no. 18. You might fight it, but trust me, you’ll let it play.

1. California Gurls by Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dog (obviously)

2. Hold You by Gyptian

3.  Nothing But Green Lights by Tom Vek

4.  Alors, On Danse by Stromae

5. California On My Mind by Wild Light

7. Rude Boy by Rihanna

8.  Walking On a Dream by Empire of the Sun

9. Like I Love You by Justin Timberlake

10. Airplanes by B.o.B ft. Paramore

11. My Love by  The Bird & The Bee

12. Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders

13. El Verano by Gypsy Kings/Chico & The Gypsies

14. Supernova by Mr. Hudson Feat. Kanye West

15. Billionaire by Travie McCoy Feat. Bruno Mars

16. If We Ever Meet Again by Timbaland Feat. Katy Perry

17. Baby Love by Diana Ross & The Supremes

18. Dreamlover by Mariah Carey

19. Solo Quiero Bailar by Zenttric

20. Lo Hecho Esta Hecho by Shakira

Bonus Track: For rooftop moments, such as a post run yoga stretch (highly recommended) or a post-dinner cig, please play John Mayer’s version of Free Fallin’. He may be a douche with the ladies, but he’s definitely one of the few people that could have pulled this track off. New Yorkers, please rooftop it. You’ll know why when you get there. Try not to cry.

Salut!

This Saturday officially marks the beginning of Spring.Yes, for those of you who are New Yorkers, happy adventure time is BACK! Below, you’ll find a couple songs to assist you in these upcoming adventures. Unfortunately, Ministry of Sound was not very helpful this year with my music search, as they have decided to ride into 2010 with a Vengaboys-ish beat. Regardless, my other sources came through! So, please, indulge:

Ke$ha: Your Love is My Drug

Vampire Weekend: Giving Up The Gun

David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi: Memories

Friendly Fires: Kiss of Life

Empire of the Sun: We are the People

Empire of the Sun: Walking on a Dream

Florence & the Machine: Dog Days Are Over

Keane: The Lovers are Losing

Chromeo: Night by Night Remix

After spending most of the morning checking out VF’s Best Dressed, I began to wander around the site only to find so many more amazing pictures of great fashion, great actors, and great inspirations.

I love this view of Hollywood, don’t you?

Sischy writes, “Cruz isn’t cookie-cutter pretty—she even has a bit of a schnoz—but her unusual features come together in a memorable aria of real beauty.”  Photographed in Segovia, Spain, by Annie Leibovitz for the September 2001 issue.
