Rock Candy

DailyCandy’s Debut Playlist

No sense living in denial. Summer’s over. Time to drop the “iced” from your morning coffee order, lengthen your shirt sleeves, and trade in breezy summer jams for something a little heavier and a lot more rockin’.

We’re reloading the Shuffle, cranking the volume, and kicking off the unofficial start of fall with the first-ever DailyCandy playlist, our soundtrack for the season.

1. “Tusk,” by Fleetwood Mac
(You’re not letting go of your peasant skirt just yet.)

2. “Dance Me In,” by Sons and Daughters
(We all have needs. Needs to rock, that is.)

3. “Might as Well,” by Something for Rockets
(Not to be confused with Something for Rockettes, although you will get your kicks.)

4. “Portions for Foxes,” by Rilo Kiley
(Their pop rock is anything but bad news.)

5. “Stay Loose,” by Belle and Sebastian
(Moody, but far from the blues.)

6. “Thirteen,” by Big Star
(Proof that teenagers are people, too.)

7. “After Hours,” by Phantom Planet
(More than California dreaming.)

8. “Destination Diamonds,” by Diamond Nights
(Revs the music engine of your mind.)

9. “Over and over Again (Lost & Found),” by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
(Just do as they say.)

10. “High Art, Local News,” by The New Pornographers
(New and exciting, but not in that way.)

11. “Speaking in Tongues,” by Eagles of Death Metal
(Stuck between rock and a hard place.)

12. “What We All Want,” by Gang of Four
(Perfect for when the gang’s all there.)

13. “The Comeback,” by Shout Out Louds
(Twisting and shouting comes with the territory.)

14. “Common People,” by Pulp
(Six minutes in music heaven.)

Now go rock and roll.

 

Today’s item was sent to the NYC, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, LA, San Francisco, and Everywhere editions of DailyCandy.
