Shine by Mondo Cozmo always cheers me up.
I’m a child of the '80s.
- ELO - Mr Blue Skies is a mathematically perfect song
- Boston - More Than a Feeling and Don’t Look Back
- Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian and Hazy Shade of Winter
- Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine
- Dire Straits - Twistin’ by the Pool
Rare to see anyone mention anything by Boston that’s not their debut album! Don’t Look Back is fantastic.
Anything in the ska genre. Upbeat, trumpets are involved, catchy. Superman by Goldfinger. Sellout by Reel Big Fish. Impression That I Get by Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Depeche Mode’s Just Can’t Get Enough of course, what a banger!
Eagles - Take It Easy
Aphex Twin - “Blue Calx” (#13 from ambient works 2)
Tycho - Awake
Steely Dan - Peg
Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters is on my mind since I’m performing that song on my synth with a band next weekend, and been practicing with them for a few months. It’s such a BANGER.
Video from some of my earlier solo practice of the song: https://packmates.org/@noxypaws/117147431648135862
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet https://youtu.be/SPlQpGeTbIE
Kickstart my heart!
I remember that song! I blasted it in my car damn near crying with joy while I drove home right after passing my checkride to earn my pilot license awhile back
That’s awesome! That’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. I keep telling myself I’ll do it someday just for the experience of being able to fly a plane.
try taking a “discovery flight” if there’s any flight training places near you! usually it’s an hour with an instructor but very low pressure, basically just bringing you up in a small plane and letting you do some of the easy stuff
I’ll definitely look into that. I’ve heard there are many flight schools in my area.
NOFX - All outta angst
Rainbow by Kesha
Yellow by Jodie Whittaker
Blister in the sun! 👏👏 👏👏
Sofa no.2 by Zappa always lifts my spirit. More recently, I’d have to go for Super graphic ultra modern girl by Chappel Roan. Fucking love that song
Iko-Iko by Zap Mama
Love train by Holly Johnson
You make time stand still
You’re children’s laughter

REM - Shiny Happy People
Kate really, really makes it and yes, I know REM hated the song and only wrote it as a piss take, not expecting it to succeed… but it’s awesome :)
