2011 is Going To Be Groovetastic
This mix started on a night out with my friend, Alison. We were celebrating the holidays with apple smashes, and the bar we were in kept playing the most groovetastic songs. Why isn’t anyone dancing? we wondered. Well, probably because they hadn’t had as many apple smashes as we had. But you don’t have to cocktail it up to enjoy this mix. It’s made my morning of green tea and vacuuming way more awesome than it would have been otherwise. What I especially like about this mix for January is its easy optimism. A smart lady told me that January comes from the Latin word for “door.” Let this be the soundtrack to swing open your new year with relaxed confidence.

Kanesha: This mix is for sure groovetastic! Thanks so much as I had to drag myself to work and I did need a desk perk!
I passed this post onto my friends in my Music Thursdays group. We share songs/playlists with each other (about 8 of us) on Thursdays to celebrate pre-Friday. Yeah, kinda cheesy, but something to look forward to when the week seems LONG!1 year ago
Katie @ cakes, tea and dreams: Niiiice. If it perks up your morning of green tea and vacuuming, then surely this mix will do wonders for my morning of tissues, laundry, black tea and sweeping. (I especially love “Here Comes the Sun” – sometimes a rare sight in January, but it’s shining today.)1 year ago
Kanesha, Not cheesy at all! I think it’s kind of brilliant, actually!
Katie, Well, I certainly hope it will, and I hope you feel better soon. (This version of Here Comes the Sun, though not by the Beatles, is pretty great.)1 year ago
Margaret: Now that I figured out that these playlists work, just not in my Reader, I love it! This one is classic and just makes me feel EASIER somehow. Thanks!1 year ago

beth: oh man, “tighten up” is one of the best songs ever and i haven’t heard it in a looong time. i don’t know what a drell is, but they sure know how to start a dance party!1 year ago
Agreed! When they say, “tighten up the organ,” it’s like a bright spot in my life.
