Fiber Fool

Seeing as how I suggested this week’s Ten on Tuesday topic I guess I need to play along :-) To be frank, I suggested it because 2012 so far has been a real struggle. Though things are starting to turn around bit. When I’m in a funk music can really be helpful in turning my mood around and a few of my playlists have gotten a bit stale. I thought it would be fun to find some new or forgotten tunes to spice them up for spring and summer.

Now, what turns my mood around varies. Sometimes it is the sentiment of the song, but more often than not it is the beat and the melody. Sometimes it because of a memory the song is attached to. So there may be a bit of discrepancy in my list. Not all of the songs have happy and upbeat lyrics. I’ve also had a hard time limiting it to 10…

I’m sure there are a ton more that I just couldn’t think of because they do not currently reside on my hard drive or I haven’t rated them. I want to thank everyone who has played along this week. I am amazed at the wide variety of songs and artists. I’ve seen very little duplicates and am looking forward to referencing the lists as I need to punch up my play lists. I started a note on Evernote with lists of songs to sample.
