Good Times

For Mallory’s mix CD swap, I was paired with Liza—blogger extraordinaire behind Length x Wit and also a fellow Texan. Our assigned theme was “good times.” The below songs either lift my spirits or they kind of nostalgically point my memory toward particularly bright moments.

After the jump, the track listing.

  1. Billy Stewart, “Summertime”
  2. Plastic Bertrand, “Ça Plane Pour Moi”
  3. Pulp, “Common People”
  4. The Monks, “Monk Time”
  5. Neutral Milk Hotel, “Holland, 1945″
  6. The Clash, “Rock the Casbah”
  7. E.L.O., “Mr. Blue Sky”
  8. The Auteurs, “The Rubettes”
  9. The Intruders, “Cowboys to Girls”
  10. The Shangri-Las, “Give Him a Great Big Kiss”
  11. Unrest, “Make Out Club”
  12. The Breeders, “Cannonball”
