[Septimius]

So, yesterday I had to do some pretty boring, repetitious work, but I did it while listening to Phoenix - especially Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It made the whole thing much easier, which got me thinking I should have more happy music. Like, super upbeat music, like Lisztomania.

I don't need super energetic music, it's not workout music. I'd love some loungey kinda happy music, much like the Disney remixes Pogo makes. I also love listening to prog, lounge and deep house music while programming. So feel free to recommend that, too.

My normal musical interests are The Album Leaf, Sigur Rós, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, Miles Davis, Radiohead, Saxon Shore, This Will Destroy You (which I should get more of). Rock, postrock, mellow electronica - those would generally please me (so if you've got something you just have to share based on that, please do) - but now I feel I want to expand to the happy, upbeat realm, since it helps getting through the work-day.

Really appreciate it!

Daylight by Matt and Kim?

Not quite as good as phoenix though :)

Benn Jordan - Safe Landing

enjoy my friend.

Pale Blue Dot: A Tribute to Carl Sagan is the first studio album released by Benn Jordan using his own name, instead of the various pseudonyms he generally releases his music under (predominantly The Flashbulb). Jordan shifts away from his typical drill n bass style with an original and flowing ambient album paying tribute to the late scientist Carl Sagan. The album title is an homage to the famous Pale Blue Dot photograph of Earth taken by Voyager 1 from over four billion miles away.

[Bay Maximus]

One of my favorite work/study songs.

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Since GAF knows who Gotye is now

[daviyoung]

This is highly subjective. So I'll do what I do in all cases like this and recommend anything by Dreadzone. Especially Captain Dread.

[Septimius]

Thanks for the recommendations - going through them :)

I was pushing Gotye on people back when there was only a 240p version of Hearts a Mess on youtube. Love all of his stuff.

Children Collide - Loveless

[alekth]

How about Lightning Seeds?

Selected Franz Ferdinand might also qualify. And this is probably the most upbeat and happy song I like.

I actually have Super Jukebox that can play the native SNES sound-files, along with all my SNES games' music. The musician in me loves the super clean sound but most of all the ability to mute channels! :>

Madeon - Pop Culture Now, go have fun and dance. :D

I got a launchpad because of this video :)

Thanks for reminding me about Röyksopp. I have some of their CDs here at work, actually. And The Whitest Boy Alive is really happy music too. How can we let the album "Happy Songs For Happy People" slide by? Luckily they're all here.

I'll be listening to the Benny Hill Theme if I would want to imagine the boss chasing me around the office in a comical way. Still checking out all the things posted. Lots of good stuff here. Except that clown video. wtf.

I have nothing to contribute, sorry, but I want to say thank you for bringing my attention to these!

I was listening to the Alice one for days on end when I found it. That was back when Yooooutuuuuuube worked perfectly for it. Yesteday I found it. Heard it 30 times already

Sounds like Battles might be your cup of tea. I love its post rock cartoon on LSD feel: Icecream

Also, I recommend Mew, Passion Pit, Goose, The Naked & Famous
, Two Door Cinema Club and one of my personal favorites TV on The Radio

And, and God is an Astronaut if you like postrock of course.

Was gonna post this.

Lots of ska is pretty happy too.

[cj_iwakura]

I was gonna bring in Kosaka Riyu, but that's way too sugary.

Clazziquai sounds more in line with your tastes.

[RustyNails]

I mostly listen to upbeat peppy music. These songs are long stuck in my head since they released.

OneRepublic - Good life
Pumped Up Kicks song (even tho its talking about school shooting lol?)

[ConfusingJazz]

You need some brass in your life.
Dirty Dozen Brass Band: My Feet Can't Fail Me Now

Maybe some funk?
George Clinton: Flashlight

How about something French?
Justice: D.A.N.C.E.

[eXistor]

If you're into traditional Irish tunes, but played with a punk-attitude look no further than the Pogues. Alternatively, the Tossers or Greenland Whalefishers.

Pogues-Sally MacLenanne (these lyrics are actually depressing as shit)

HAPPY HARDCORE!!!

On a more serious and totally different note (don't know any other happy hardcore) BSBDs Noir has some quite happy songs. I think they're perfect for studying, but I don't know if you'll agree.
Gold In, Gold Out - Sleeping Children Are Still Flying - And Stars, Ringed
