It's a snow day here in New York, so I'm at home which means I don't have much to do. So, I created a playlist with a theme of happy voices in cheery songs. Then again, Adam Green doesn't always sound as upbeat as he does in "Morning After Midgnight," nor does Keven Barnes is a number of Of Montreal songs. But here are songs that are meant to be sung along to.
01 Of Montreal - "A Sentence of Sorts In Kongsvinger"
02 The Apples In Stereo - "Signal In The Sky Let's Go"
03 The Bird and the Bee - "Love Letter To Japan"
04 Jens Lekman - "I Saw Her In The Anti War Demonstration"
05 ELO - "Mr. Blue Sky"
06 Adam Green - "Morning After Midnight"
07 Architecture In Helsinki - "Hold Music"
08 Au Revoir Simone - "Stars"
09 Sigur Ros - "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur"
10 The Harlem Shakes - "A Night"
11 Patrick Wolf - "Get Lost"
12 Tokyo Police Club - "Your English Is Good"

Swedish pop band, Envelopes comes forth with their latest album, Here Comes The Wind. Filled with fun, jangly pop this record is ideal for anyone interested in bands like Architecture In Helsinki (a group that Envelopes is often compared to) and The Most Serene Republic. The album's opening track, "Party" reminded me of Andrew Bird's "Dark Matter" when I first heard it; not because of its lyrical content, but for the way it was introduced. "I'd Like To C U" is probably the best song off this record. Filled with joy and goodness, one will be pleased when they're finished with this well-put album. B

I decided to create a playlist because there really wasn't much to do. I tried to make the songs related to every other song included in the mix. Anyone who comes across this should enjoy, I hope you do.

01 Blue Light – Bloc Party
And you didn’t even notice / When the sky turned blue / And you couldn’t tell the difference / Between me and you / And I nearly didn’t notice / The gentlest feeling.

02 Secret Heart – Feist
Secret heart / Why so mysterious? / Why so scared? / Why so serious? / Maybe you’re / Just acting tough / Or maybe you’re just / Not man enough / What’s wrong?

03 Souvenirs – Architecture in Helsinki
I’ve got souvenirs but yesterday can’t mean too much / Have we missed an opportunity?

04 Let Go – Frou Frou
So let go / Let go / Jump in / Oh well, whatcha waiting for? / It’s alright, cause there’s beauty in the breakdown / So let go / Let go / Just get in / Oh, it’s so amazing here / It’s alright, cause there’s beauty in the breakdown.

05 The Quiz - Hello Saferide
But there are things you need to know about me / I'm weak right now / Real weak right now / I need proof before I dare to open this heart / So I prepared a quiz for you.

06 The Magic of Crashing Stars - Tender Forever
And all the phonecalls / And the nights not sleeping, sleeping, sleeping tight / Makes me wonder / How it's like when I'm with you / And I want you.

07 I'm Only Sleeping (The Beatles cover) - The Vines
Please don't wake me / No, don't shake me / Leave me where I am / I'm only sleeping.

08 Better Days Will Come - Tahiti 80
As I was / Thinking 'bout the things that you said / I looked up / To the sky and saw a cloud passing by / There must be something wrong / There must be something wrong / Better days will come.
