I realized something today. Its pretty basic. I tend to listen to slow, mellow vibe music, and although Im not a huge lyric guy (more focus on the instruments), the lyrics tend to be about life and everything being alright, and valleys, and peaks, and etc.etc. And you know what, whether you realize it or not, it sets your mood during the day. And lately i've been a little flat, so I've installed a temporary ban on this music in my life for a few weeks as a test. Like today. I went to update the website and I usually throw on Jay Nash, Josh Radin, Tyrone, Chris Pierce - some mellow cool shit like that - but I type slower, create slower, start thinking. So today I put on Dirty Heads (although wish they would play Saint Rocke over Brixton but oh well) and I was rocking it. Just getting it done. (didnt mean to plug, but did). So lesson for today to myself. You make your mood, you dont let the world make it. Its better that way. Turn it up!

listen to some Gorgeous Got a Gun it will pump you up! -V
Dirty Heads are the best for setting an upbeat tone. So many people I know feel the same way. DH definitely rocks.
Set yourself sometime during the week to explore new music and make yourself a playlist called "get shit done". I find the best time to build the list is at the end of the day before your night begins. Then keep building the playlist and every morning hit shuffle.
MGMT station on Pandora is a good mix of mellow/pump up the jams... discovered "daylight" by matt and kim, "animal" (punks jump up remix) by miike snow... oh and "penelope" by pinback... k i'll stop now
