I very much like songs with whistling.

It’s time to start think about summer road trip songs again (yay!) Here’s a good track for grooving down the highway with your hand weaving up and down in the wind.

Grab your hipster girlfriend and dance.

Brooklyn-based indie band New Beard sent me their new single to share with you guys, and I love it.

Go here to listen.

They’ll be at the Bowery on May 5 if you’re in town and want to hear them.

26 year old Janelle Monae has a voice like a bell and a refreshing lack of “tits all over the place.”

Me, Patrice, and a bottle of wine stayed up all night creating this playlist of songs for you to make out to.

Did we forget anything? Share what tracks you would add in the comments.

Go get sexy, people.

This is one for dancing around your apartment while cleaning.

p.s. Hipster problem: I keep mixing up “Neon Trees” and “Neon Indian”.

This song is 10 years old, but I first heard it when I was packing to move to Brooklyn in 2008. To me, it will always sound like flipping the page onto New York City.

It came on during brunch Saturday, causing me to momentarily abandon my eggs and and raise the roof. Couldn’t be helped.

You’ve probably heard this by now, but in case you have not.

You might need a smoke after watching this one. (It’s probably “less safe for work”, but you won’t get fired unless your boss is a total prudish douchebag.)

Thanks, Jared!
