Weekend Playlist: Easy, Breezy, Beautiful

The past few weekends (not to mention weeks) have been insanely hectic.  So, this weekend, I’m beyond thrilled to be taking it easy and doing a whole lot of nothing.  The weather is getting nicer (not nice, but nicer) and we have a beautiful back/side/front/court yard to gaze at.  Basically, we are surrounded by green and beautiful smelling flowers.  It’s like living in my own childhood dream of The Secret Garden (more on that later).  Anyway, what’s better than opening up the doors and letting a little fresh air in and just relaxing with friends and good music?  Okay, maybe a glass of sangria.

  1. Broken Bells– October
  2. Modest Mouse– Ocean Breathes Salty
  3. Santigold– Shove It
  4. Jason Collett– Lake Superior
  5. Foster the People– Pumped Up Kicks
  6. Sneaker Pimps– 6 Underground
  7. Dev & The Cataracs– Bass Down Low
  8. Yeasayer– O.N.E.
  9. The xx– Crystalised
  10. Tiesto (feat. Tegan & Sara)– Feel It In My Bones

have a beautiful weekend.

Let me first preface this by saying by no means am I (nor do I claim to be) a music expert.  I do, however, love music and just like my fashion sense, my taste in music is a bit eclectic.  I’m always open to new music suggestions, so I hope that by sharing mine with you, you’ll return the favor.

It’s a very grey weekend in Los Angeles thus far and I’m sticking close to home to do some “spring cleaning.”  What better way to get into the spirit than by cranking up the tunes and firing up the Swiffer WetJet?

  1. David Guetta and Rihanna– Who’s That Chick?
  2. The Pretty Reckless– My Medicine
  3. Grace Potter & The Nocturnals– Paris (Ooh La La)
  4. The Cataracs (feat. Dev)– Top of the World
  5. Snoop Dogg (feat. T-Pain)– Boom
  6. Martin Solveig and Dragonette– Hello
  7. Cage the Elephant– Shake Me Down
  8. Muse– Supermassive Black Hole
  9. Caribou– Odessa
  10. Lupe Fiasco– The Show Goes On

What are your favorite spring cleaning/domestic duty songs?

Weekend Playlist: On the Run

I remember a girl telling me on my 23rd birthday that after 25 it all starts going down hill. I thought she was just being a bitch (obviously because I was 23 and knew EVERYTHING), but unfortunately, she was speaking the truth. Suddenly you pay for that scoop of ice cream and your size 24 skinny jeans start to feel a bit more like sausage wrappers. DUB TEE EFF??

Being a girl who used to be able to house an entire pizza (solo), not go to the gym and never see the effects, this was devastating not to mention confusing. So, instead of bitching about my thunder thighs (which I did do for a while), I forced myself to fall in love with running. I only wish I had always been active so as not to go into shock when this oh so special life change occurred.  I don’t even wanna tell you about the adult acne that awaits you, my little chickadees!

Anyway, now that I’ve come to terms with the fact that I need to do more than walk to Soho House in heels across the cobblestone (which is no easy feat, mind you) to qualify as a workout, I’ve compiled a playlist of some songs that help me get through the sweat and tears (mostly tears) of my workout. Basically, the music is my favorite part of getting buff. I like music to be played loud. This is also probably the reason I still like nightclubs (to be discussed at a later date) and why I used to like driving (which I leave to the cabbies nowadays).

WhyDid’s Workout Plan (which may prove to be more useful than Kanye’s):

  1. Joan Jett– I Love Rock N Roll
  2. Christina Aguilera– Not Myself Tonight
  3. La Roux– Bulletproof
  4. Girlicious (yeah, that’s right, Girlicious)- Stupid Shit
  5. Santigold– Creator
  6. Shwayze– Get U Home
  7. Kings of Leon– My Party
  8. M.I.A.- 10 Dollar
  9. N.E.R.D.– She Wants To Move
  10. Sam Sparro– Black and Gold
  11. Ashlee Simpson– Outta My Head
  12. Lenny Kravitz– Are You Gonna Go My Way
  13. Lloyd Banks– Beamer, Benz, and Bentley
  14. Livvi Franc– Now I’m That Chick
  15. Beastie Boys– Sabotage
  16. Beyonce– Ring the Alarm
  17. Kenna– Out of Control
  18. The White Stripes– Seven Nation Army

While some of my choices may seem a bit obscure/bizarre, I’m not exactly training for the 2012 Olympic Track Team and these songs set a good pace for as fast as my little legs can go. So, until they come up with some miracle cream/pill that just magically disintegrates fat, I will be burning rubber to my own little miracle playlist.

Feel the burn.

xx,

WhyDid
