Every once in awhile, I put together a playlist for myself that's more personal than the ones we throw together for our show. Whenever I do, it seems like the songs pick themselves and come together naturally, and thus they're usually rare as there's a lot of waiting involved (the last was in December.) The mixes usually consist of a wide range of songs I've been obessed with, either old or new, and they are meant to be played at random, as each song fits in so well with the rest that the order doesn't matter. Anyway, I though I'd share this one with you all; it's called Do The Happy Dance. Though most of the tracks aren't "dance" tracks by any means, most of them do have a persistent beat (and electronic effects) and they will most likely make you happy, as they do for me:
1. "Unsolved Mysteries" by Animal Collective off of Strawberry Jam
2. "No Dice" by Beirut off of Realpeople Holland
3. "Major Label Debut" by Broken Social Scene off of Broken Social Scene
