wolves cafe posted such a great little playlist at their blog the other day, so i decided i’m going to share one i’ve been playing quite often lately (i’m an obsessive playlist maker). some mellow, some happy, some old & some new stuff.

download it here. the track list is as follows …

  1. bombay bicycle club – always like this
  2. noah and the whale – two atoms in a molecule
  3. paul simon – me and julio down by the schoolyard
  4. two door cinema club – something good can work (ted & francis remix)
  5. the morning benders – excuses
  6. she & him – please, please, please, let me get what i want
  7. billie the vision & the dancers – a beautiful night as oslo
  8. broken bells – the mall & misery
  9. the cure – close to me
  10. peter gabriel – solsbury hill
