MGMT - Kids. Now that's just a happy song.

[Guy Incognito]

[Helvete]

Also, get some Martin Solveig on the go! Reminds me of my time in Paris last summer.

Tracks such as:

Touch Me
Give It To Me
C'est La Vie

[mickill]

I find that bittersweet works better than just overt happy when it comes to music. So that's the angle I'd take with it.

By the way, there were some songs to cure your blues on the mixtape I dedicated to you, L. Not that you noticed, I'm sure.

[gbsuey]

I tried to do a list but i think actually just music in general makes me feel better-anything i like, really loud. a couple of weeks ago my head was completely up my arse and i managed to blast it back out with some electronica!!

Heart Attack Man never fails to make me giggle-just the pure infectiousness of someone else laughing. And there was an Elvis track that had some woman wailing in the background and he was just laughing so hard that i would always end up nearly crying myself-must hunt that one down now

[Drederick Tatum]

Don't You Worry About a Thing - Stevie Wonder
Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
Fun - Sly and the Family Stone

[yeahwho]

This triumphant video by Verve (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GnWRjoP9mQ) from 2008 always picks me up and makes me want to continue on with renewed vigor.

Fucking Love It!

[hpdrifter]

Great thread idea, I've been feeling mighty blue too.

You cannot kill the Blues with new music, it only makes you more depressed how much today's bands suck.
