Ten+5 Tunes To Give Your Friday a Boost

Earlier this morning my GigaOM colleague Stacey Higginbotham asked me to give her some recommendations on songs for her to have a rocking Friday. I dug into my vast list and came up with the following playlist which is global, unique and off the beaten path. What it is not — top 40 fodder. Enjoy!

  1. Never Stop/Gonzales
  2. Papa americano/Dj Kiky<
  3. Echoes/Oliver Koletzki & Fran
  4. Un Soir, Un Chien/Laetitia Sadier
  5. Lovesick/Lindstrøm & Christabelle
  6. Lilly/Pink Martini
  7. Siempre me quedará/Bebe
  8. Lake of Udaipur (Jaïpur Remix)/Béatrice Ardisson
  9. Tell Me Why/Catya Maré
  10. Calling (Feat. Sophie Barker)/Bliss

Now these are additional songs that can give your day a nice little lift. They are a little older so a good chance they might are part of your aural subconscious.

  1. Mi Buenos Aires/Overdub Sessions
  2. La Gloria (Poirier Remix)/Gotan Project
  3. The Mating Game/Bitter:Sweet
  4. Anyone’s Ghost/The National
  5. In the Black of Night/Slow Train

(Songs/Artists) These songs are available on the iTunes store.
