What music never fails to cheer you up?
 

Things have felt a bit dull this evening, and put me in a resultant funk.

What music always succeeds in pulling you out of your funks?

Two examples for now are The Buzzcocks and Big Black. More to come, but my tea is steeping.

butthole surfers. haha

Adam Green and pretty much any anti-folk.

You answered your own question. Funk.



Dig?

Ah, folk has its moments, but it doesn't typically cheer me up. I usually save that for melancholy or retrospective moments.

The Boredoms are usually good for energy, and lately I've been diggin' me some Goatwhore and Make-Up.

And for some reason, though they get some flak, Grandaddy always equals silly good cheer to me.

Good one!

A bit more recent one:

Any song from "A Goofy Movie." For example, this one:

Music that cheers me up and also because of its visulal connotations(i.e. videos):
Duran Duran - Wild Boys
Arcadia - Election Day

There are tons more.

I love you, luxinterior.

And good point about the visuals, porky. Devo gets a nod for that.

the smiths for sure

anti-folk is a bit different. It's very honest but also pretty funny

This might cheer you up.Trans-dressing people(as i call them) think this video is something to laugh at.The song is an ode to a plastic God itself,as if the real thing isn't good enough:

I need people to cheer me up. Failing that i find At the drive or les savy fav do well in kicking me up the arse. I need to learn guitar or join a band.

Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Juana Molina
and also The Breeders' Last Splash

obvious, but fuck it.
