As you may have gathered from this blog, I like songs. What's better than a song, though, is a collection of songs - mixtape, playlist, compilation, whatever you wish (I'll stick to playlist). What's better than a playlist, though, is making a playlist. And do I like making playlists or what.
And so, welcome to the Playlist Series, where I share my playlists, whether they be carefully thought out groups of songs of a similar emotional nature, or merely a few miscellaneous tracks which sound nice when played in a row. The first of this series is also perhaps the first 'official' playlist I made. Sugarcube is its name, and I created it last year sometime. I picked the songs; they sounded pretty good together. It hasn't changed much since its birth, but in the time between that seminal event and now, I have come to learn a lot about it, and learn why exactly it appeals to me. It's sweet; it's sugary (hence the title). It's largely a joyous affair; sonically, it's easy on the ear. It works. And, it goes as follows:
1. BEIRUT - Nantes
2. YO LA TENGO - Sugarcube
3. OKKERVIL RIVER - Lost Coastlines
4. THE BEATLES - Here Comes the Sun
5. SAM COOKE - Wonderful World
6. PAVEMENT - Range Life
7. CAT POWER - Good Woman
8. CONOR OBERST - Souled Out!!!
9. CAMERA OBSCURA - Come Back Margaret
10. PETER BJORN AND JOHN - Up Against the Wall
11. JENS LEKMAN - Your Arms Around Me
12. SUFJAN STEVENS - The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!
13. BEN LEE - Apple Candy
14. THE GO-BETWEENS - Cattle and Cane
15. NICK DRAKE - Pink Moon
16. BRIGHT EYES - Bowl of Oranges
