Don’t Be Afraid To Be Different, Y’all

Spent a lot of time in Soundcloud this week, leaves us with 14 tracks on the Better Spins playlist. Some highlights:

  • Logic ft. Will Smith – Don’t Be Afraid to Be Different. Big Willy hasn’t lost his Style.
  • GRiZ, Yoshi Flower – Maybe. You could make an iPhone commercial by sampling literally any part of this song.
  • Big Gigantic, Gramatik – Better Believe it Now. As the kids say, this song slaps.
  • Oliver Heldens – Summer Lover (ft. Devin & Nile Rodgers). Marry techno house with the legend who helped produce Random Access Memories? Please and thank you.
  • Goldfinger – 99 Red Balloons. You know you’ve heard a song too many times when you can even sing the German verse (and you don’t speak German).
  • Yahtzel – Someone Else (ft. Savoi). Deep cuts from Foreign Family Collective.

Honorable Mentions

  • Late June – My Memories. Track itself a little slow for my tastes but if you produce a song with How I Met Your Mother samples, you make the playlist.
  • Melissa Etheridge – Angels Would Fall. One of my favorite dark horse karaoke picks.
  • Rolling Stones – Blinded By Rainbows. Another throwback courtesy of the iPod in my car that hasn’t been updated since I drove it off the lot in 2009.
