Upbeat-ness

Post by joe_canadian »

I want to make a collection of upbeat, fast-paced, nod-your-head-and-dance-like-a-crazy-fool songs, and I need suggestions. This is to balance the extreme surplus of depressing mixes I seem to have worked up without realising it. :roll:

So far I've got:

OK Go - Get Over It
The Music - The People
The Used - Buried Myself Alive
Feeder - Tell All Your Friends
Everclear - Rockstar
Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

the Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So

As much as I don't like them, I've spent countless minutes running around the house like crazy to this one.

whats the alkaline trio song that goes "put down like a prostitute in court..." ??? if anybody answers, definitely get this song

edit: also check out Seventy Times Seven by Brand New, United States of Whatever - Liam Lynch, bandages - Hot Hot Heat, and Action and Action - the Get Up Kids.

Those are pretty good in my oppinion
....but then again, i thing Potato Girl is a happy song... what do I know :freak:

we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

I'll check those out, thanks for the ideas.

I'm also going to put on What It Is To Burn by Finch and Plug In Baby by Muse, it's going to rock. :nod:
