[playlist] Hump Day Power Play (9-26-2012)

Dan Boeckner Mix, Vol 2

Back in January, I posted a collection of my favorite Dan Boeckner hits that were available on Spotify. It's been received quite well judging from the traffic to that post; however, now that Divine Fits has released its amazing debut album, that old list feels obsolete. For this week's HDPP, I wanted to update the existing list with some of his new "instant classics" that can be found on A Thing Called Divine Fits.

Arctic Monkeys Mix

Getting back to some hits, this week's HDPP is a collection of my favorite Arctic Monkeys tracks. It's crazy to think back to my first Monkeys concert experience in early '06. They played the "old" Crocodile in Seattle to a crowd of maybe 150 fans. I paid a mere $10 for my ticket months before the show (a friend in the UK told me I should), and by the time the day of the concert rolled around, Arctic Monkey fever had infected the States. Swarms of people were offering $100 for my ticket to the sold-out show at the door. I would have been a fool to sell it, as that night was simply magical. You could get a sense that these guys were destined for something bigger.

Interestingly, though, the band played everything off of Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, and apparently ran out of material for an encore... Now fast forward to today; they have so much great material, I had much trouble trimming this playlist down. Hopefully my condensed version is to your enjoyment.

Summer's End Mix

Summer is rapidly disappearing, and I'm left wondering where it went. Before it's officially over, make sure to do something summery so you don't regret wasting these precious days. Hopefully this week's HDPP can serve as your soundtrack while you're doing said summery thing.
