Song that can make you feel good no matter what mood you are in
I'm making a comp for my friend that is being isolated, and because of that, I have no idea what exact mood this person is in, although I'm sure it isn't a good one. I know some people like to listen to scary, wierd, depressing, etc. music when they are upset to be able to help them vent, but I also know that kind of music can really depress people too.
On the other hand, really stupid music- like say Scott Walker- Mathilde makes people like me laugh when I'm upset. Some people though would throw the CD player against the wall when hearing that kind of music and upset though. So, how do I make a comp for someone who is probably in a really shitty mood but I have no way to tell exactly what shitty mood they are in? |
Animal Collective - Winter's Love - Easily the happiest song ever.
Sufjan Stevens - Chicago Arcade Fire - Laika the Unicorns - I Don't Want To Die Islands - Rough Gem Mates of State - Ha Ha Happy little songs. |
'I Know There's An Answer' - The Beach Boys
'The Empty Page' - Sonic Youth 'Range Life' - Pavement 'Sexx Laws' - Beck |
Yeah, anything by islands is good..
I'd say any merzbow or sunnO))). Really cheery music. |
Maybe instrumental, or something blantantly unserious, you know that's obviously supposed to make you laugh. I don't know anything in particular to suggest, though, because it depends on your (or their) taste.

Xiu Xiu always makes me cry BUT cheers me up at the same time.
|
b-52's - rock lobster.
|
Maybe I should just make 3 CDs named "Catharsis", "Silly-happy", and "Emotionally Void." And let them choose.
Pavement seems like a good option though. It isn't super happy so that it would annoy people, and it isn't depressing enough to make a girl cry. Atsonicpark, just seeing the title of that song makes me smile. |
I am telling you. Burn her Animal Collective's Sung Tongs.
|
Loop- burning world
spacemen 3- walking with jesus can- Halleuhwah |
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.
Schools Out by Alice Cooper (the memories). And the Weezer blue album. |
burn her feels too.

How'd you know it is a girl? I better fully explain the situation at hand. This girl I like happened to have a lot of shit things happen to her, and she had a really bad weekend, so she skipped school on monday (she's 18 and a senior, don't be accusing me of perversion) so her mom sent her to the hospital. She is back from the hospital, but her mom isn't letting any of her friends she her or communicate with her. So I have decided the best way to help her would be to bake her some cookies and make her a CD. So, I know she is depressed right now, but I don't know how depressed. For all I know she could be depressed past the point of being amused by silly music or feeling catharsis from sad music. |
I think I'm actually forming an idea of what to put on it. Yay for me!
|
Husker Du- Flip Your Wig pretty much that entire record is so happy and cheerful, but not in a sickening way.
|
I don't know, but (She's In A)Bad Mood always makes me feel better...
|
That kind of stuff is usually a "thought that counts" thing. Don't stress too much about it, she'll like the fact that you made it for her.

CCR - Lookin' Out My Back Door
|
Bardo Pond - Inside
Can - Soup Gang Gang Dance - Egowar New Pornographers - Use It Clap Your Hands and say Yeah - Heavy Metal Giant Drag - My Dick Sucks Six Organs of Admittance - School of The Flower Ton Steine Scherben - ich will nicht werden, was mein alter ist Früchte des Zorns - Das Herz ist ein Muskel in der Größe einer Faust |
Today:
Nina Simone - To love somebody I love this woman!!! |
Cosmic Dancer by T Rex or any other track off Electric Warrior. Light, danceable, with a hue of sadness combined with a greater hue of appetite for life's good sides.
|
dEUS - Little Arithmetics
lalalalalala |

If I put on Belle And Sebastians - Dear Catastrophe Waitress I always get in a jolly mood. The happy key-track here is Step Into My Office Baby. Some Pavement sure would not hurt. And Turbonegro - I got erection is really amusing.

Didn't work that well for Cleveland in family guy! Uptown Girl, the original by Billy Joel and not the horrid cover version made by some boyband a few years back. And you hear it once, and it stays stuck in your head for days.... |

Niiccee, I'm seeing Islands in 4 hours from now; and I've never heard them before! My friend invited me to it haha. I'm with Athousandthreads about Egowar; great song. I'm REALLY into Gang Gang Dance right now. I've been listening to Gang Gang Dance and Sigh continuously for the past while. Pavement and Stephen Malkmus can really make me happy at any time, along with a lot of stuff by Sonic Youth. |
Sonic Nurse

Here is what I think I'll end up doing (she's allowed out now apparently, but I'm going to give her the CD anyways)
Range Life- Pavement Some Candy Talking- Jesus and Mary Chain Telegram Sam- T. Rex I'm So Green- Can Taste of Cindy- Jesus and Mary Chain Look Back in Anger- David Bowie The Wagon- Dinosaur Jr. I Disconnect From You- Gary Numan Unfair- Pavement Happy When it Rains- Jesus and Mary Chain Kicker of Elves- Guided By Voices Lose My Breath- My Bloody Valentine I am a Passenger- Iggy Pop (Lust for Life would be too cliche IMO) Surfin' USA- The Jesus and Mary Chain Velouria- The Pixies Little Johnny Jewel- Television Map Ref. 41N 93W- WIRE Just Like Honey- Jesus and Mary Chain I'm not sure about David Bowie- Look Back in Anger or Gary Numan- I Disconnect From You |
Rock 'N Me-Steve Miller Band
|
Grateful Dead--- Bertha (live, set opener)
that little G/C progression that they start up with never fails to get me into the groove and let the good times roll! "i had a hard run, climbin out yr window, was all night runnin runnin, I wonder if you cared, I had a run in, run around and a run down, around the corner, Lord I smacked right into a tree!" |
Belle & Sebastian - "Your Cover's Blown" or "Step into my Office Baby"
actually a lot of B&S songs would be good... edit: also, anything by the boy least likely to would be good too. |

It's great man! She'll be happy. You sure have good taste in happy music. Shoulda included a Belle & Sebastian song, but all in all the mix looks good. |
