[playlist] Hump Day Power Play (11-7-2012)

Now That's What I Call 2008!

2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08. Hard to believe that was nearly 5 years ago!

Beck Mix

I'm excited to share the first ever reader-requested HDPP this week. It's always interesting to see if fans of the same band actually like the same songs. I guess I'll have to wait and find out. But anyway, I was asked what my "Beck Hits List" would look like. Below, you'll find my playlist, which is just under the one hour mark. I found it extremely difficult to mix the slower Sea Change songs with the sillier Midnite Vultures ones. Additionally, since this is for Hump Day, most of Sea Change was not used (I love the LP, however, I would like someone to honestly tell me that album pumps them up). Happy 4th everyone!

Whistling Mix

This has been one crazy week. In a blink of an eye, it's already Wednesday again, and I somehow managed to nearly forget the release of the Hump Day Power Play! The theme this week was supposed to be "Whistle While You Work". I usually hate when people whistle out loud, but if it's used as an instrument in a song, I find it quite catchy. So feast your ears on this week's playlist, and I'll wager you're whistling to these songs before you even realize it.
