The Home Sick Play List

A few nights ago Dre and I had many drinks at a bar in Amsterdam with my cousins. The location was great and the DJ was spinning a wide range of music. The music was decent, but after a few tracks I started missing my own iTunes library. So this morning Andrea and I put on some home brewed play lists and got back into the NYC groove a bit. Our “Homesick Playlist” includes many genre’s many sources and two different influences that merge to give us a few hours of memories from home, and some people we miss so much.

More than a few months back, Tom Fletcher answered my desperate plea for musical enlightenment.  When Dre and I first started dating, I was indie rock ignorant. Other than the few bands that came across my Pandora, I was unable to hold a musical conversation with Andrea and her friends. (Specifically Schwa) Tom provided me with a proverbial sample platter of bands new in old in many genre’s. Most of these songs are on the HSPL, but some of our favs are below.

Arctic Monkeys

Black Kids

Brazilian Girls

Hot Chip

Les Savy Fav

MGMT

Modest Mouse

Q-Tip

Ra Ra Riot

Reefer

TV on the Radio

From the vast expanse that is Andrea’s music collection, she has introduced me to the below additions to the ever growing HSPL. Additionally, she has agreed to “pay forward” the Fletcher favor and burn some music for Esmeralda (my dutch cousin). A link to this playlist is coming soon.

Joni Mitchell

New Pornographers

Pela

M Ward

Ryan Adams

Bloc Party

Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst)

My 1990’s additions include…

Cake

Soul Coughing
