Playlist Title :: 14 Tracks For A Cleaning/Tidying/Folding Kinda Day
Michele says :: Whenever I am having a big “clean the house, guests are coming” day and being that cleaning and I, are not good chums, it means I am going to need plenty of motivational music to keep me MOVING and on track. I can’t allow my sneaky brain to come up with a dose of procrastinitis Bigtimus when I have to get things done. Here’s a lovely bunch of faves, oldies but goodies, mostly drawn from our amazing OZ talent pool. TURN THEM UP LOUD!
Michele’s Playlist…
A very certain place and time for me and ‘The Undies’ sure do have a particularly THEM and wonderful, kind of a sound.
MGMT : Time to Pretend : USA 2007 : Oracular Spectacular album.
Such a gloriously youthful, anthemic song.
Gotye : Learnalilgivinanlovin : 2006 : Like Drawing Blood album.
I dare you not to have Phil Collins flashbacks and a little boogie to this one
Sarah Blasko : Don’t you Eva : 2004 : The Overture and The Underscore album.
The Avalanches : Frontier Psychiatrist : 2000 : Since I Left You album.
Wicked Beat Sound System : The Church of Al Green : Sydney 2000 : Inna Styles album.
What’s not to love? A totally groovalicious song about the Reverend Al Green.
Sia : The Fight : 2010 : We Are Born album.
From Adelaide, Sia just makes my heart sing and my body move and has ever since her epic and haunting “Breathe” played us out of “Six Feet Under” for the final time.
Sally Seltman : On the Borderline : 2010 : Heart That’s Pounding album.
She used to be “New Buffalo” and she wrote “1234” for Feist and I just adore her purity and edgy sweetness.
Epicure : Armies Against Me : Ballarat boys 2004 : Goodbye Girl album.
I hear a touch of Free and Bad Company from back-in-the-day in there…I do!
The Clouds : Wichita Lineman : 90’s
Sydney’s Jodi Phyllis & Trisha Young. Gorgeous girls with perfect harmonies covering A Jimmy Webb classic, such a poignantly lovely song.
Architecture in Helsinki : One Heavy February : 2003
Temper Trap : Love Lost : 2009 Conditions album.
Seriously talented Melbourne lads and one of my fav clips of 2009
Sisters Underground : In the Neighbourhood : NZ 1994.
Lemon Heads : Into Your Arms : 1993
Nic Dalton was from OZ and Evan was dreamy AND this song is such a perfect, forever lovey dovey track about feeling safe and secure.
Love the playlist- just over halfway through on Grooveshark now. Only song I couldn't get was The Clouds- I'll track that down somewhere.
How good is the old Gotye stuff. I ended up listening to the whole album!
Love! Love! Love! Thanks for this!
