Assignment 23: The Perfect Playlist- Angela Maske

Unlike most of Lexington, I did not spend my spring break at the beach. However I love the beach and so I made a playlist for a laid-back day at the beach...or pretending that you're at the beach when you're really at Panera writing blog posts.

I always listen to playlists on shuffle, so the order that I present it in here is pretty much random. I think that a perfect playlist should be cohesive and enjoyable regardless of the order of the songs.

Track 1: Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa by Vampire Weekend

This track has a very relaxed, beachy vibe that goes along with the youthful, somewhat preppy references in its lyrics. It conjures images of, well, Cape Cod in the summer.

Track 2: Naive by the Kooks

Like the previous track, Naive has a youthful feel to it that, paired with the bright vocals and guitar, really suits a day at the beach, despite the lack of nautical references.

Track 3:  Chocolate by the 1975

This track is upbeat, with a catchy chorus and definite indie vibe.

Track 4: Beach by San Cisco

This song is called Beach, which naturally makes it perfect to include in this playlist (despite the fact that the lyrics never once mention the beach). It has a more "chill" feeling than the previous tracks, but really reminds me of watching the sun set while waves crash on the sand.

Track 5: See the Sun by the Kooks.

Another song by the Kooks. What a surprise. Sort of the same deal as Naive. And sun...beach...ya know.
