What recipe do you use to make a positively effervescent song even more happy-go-lucky? Add one part Gigamesh, easy peasy. The Minnesotan DJ transforms Grouplove’s iconic “Tongue Tied” (yes, the song from the Apple commercial) from a youthful sing-along to a downright dirty dance party.

[Indie - Folk] The Lumineers - Ho Hey

Folk Yeah! Haha I'm really feeling the folk music today, this is actually the favorite for today. Denver folk-rock trio The Lumineers describe themselves a bit differently, detailing their unit as “born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work.”. If you are looking for a sweet and simple stripped down indie folk song that will lift your spirits look no further, this song will make your day, I left it last for a reason.

[Folk - Rock] M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Beautiful Small Machines Cover)

I rarely post folk songs, actually I don't think i have posted one single folk song, but this is definitely an exception. Now you may be asking, 'you're posting a folk cover of Paper Planes?!', why yes, yes I am , it is incredible. The new take on the song is more simplistic, trading synth beats and samples for guitar leads and organic drums, breathing life into a track that I thought had lost some of its original “coolness” due to its being overplayed.
