meggo Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 i'm sure this has been discussed before, but i've got a few friends in the doldrums and i want to make them a nice uplifting mix, also a proactive measure for myself for fending off those winter blues!i've been really enjoying a bunch of tracks from van morrison's 'his band and the street choir'. and currently listening to michael franti's 'say hey' - i've never listened to him but this song is so infectious! also vampire weekend has been doing it for me in the mornings. what are those songs that put a big smile on your face??
