Little Light Fresh 5 – Katie’s Alternative Playlist #LittleLightFresh5

So I might appear like the typical mommy of 4 who drives a minivan, puts her hair in a messy bun, and listens to pop music.  You wouldn’t be wrong except I have a more eclectic taste in music than that.  While I know the lyrics to Iggy Azlea’s Fancy and a few Miley Cyrus songs as well, I also am well versed in 90s rap and today’s country.  However, if someone were to hold a gun to my head and tell me I HAD to pick a favorite music genre, it would be alternative.  Yes, I’m one of those weirdo’s who listens to what some might call hipster music.  If I had the money and the time sans kids,  you could easily see me at Coachella rocking a flower crown and jammin’ to stoner music (though I wouldn’t be stoned because YUCK! Ya know, addictions and such).

I’m so excited to introduce you to my hippy side!  These are the songs I’ve had on repeat lately though most of them have been out for 3 to 5 years.  Even though they’ve been out for so long, I’d be surprised if you have heard more than 1. So without further ado, may I present my Alternative Playlist.

1. Whirring by The Joy Formidable

This is a great song to run to and check out the jam session at the end.  Like WOAH!

2. Little Games by The Colourist

This song came out in 2014 and was on the Sirius XM Alt Nation top 10 for a few weeks.  Catchy is what I call it.

3. Houdini by Foster The People

You probably heard Pumped Up Kicks and sorta liked it but never thought of FTP since then.  Don’t write them off just yet.  This song is freaking awesome!

4. Young Blood by The Naked and Famous

If you haven’t heard this song at some point you just haven’t been living.  Clips of this song have been featured on a few TV shows including Chuck.  It sounds like nostalgia.

5. Ways to Go by Grouplove

This band is the hippiest you can get but they can throw it down like what?!  This song just makes me happy and I can’t help but dance when I hear it.  Oh yes, hippy dancing is awesome!

So I’m interested to hear if you were already familiar with any of these songs?  Did you happen to like any of them or did you write them off as too weird?

P.S. I’m not now or have I ever been a stoner.  Just sayin.  #LittleLightFresh5
