Music to Grill By


















It's Friday, and if you live anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, there's a good chance that you will spend part of this weekend cooking things over a flame, drinking Corona and eyeing up that cute hipster in the vintage 'Pee-Wee Softball' t-shirt. So why don't you impress your friends with music meant for grilling?

This mix is a little bit dancy, a little bit sparkly, but not without moments that might warrent a bit of fist pumping. Here's what you can expect (maybe not in this order):

  • Black Magic - Magic Wands
  • Raindrops - Basement Jaxx
  • Help I'm Alive - Metric
  • Soft Shock - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • I'm Good, I'm Gone - Lykke Li
  • Mouthwash - Kate Nash
  • Lisztomania - Phoenix
  • Dream City - Free Energy
  • Drivin' Me Wild - Lily Allen and Common

    These songs have been on repeat in my head and on my stereo since late May. What are you listening to these days?

Oo I LOVE Magic Wands and Metric. I'll be sure to download the Basement Jaxx and Free Energy song. I love hearing about music I don't know!
And I would have to say number one summer on 09 song is "Summercat" by Billie Vision and the Dancers.
