Daydreaming will yield more entertainment for you than a Hollywood blockbuster — so feel free to wander off into dreamland and focus on what your life would be like if all your hopes and dreams came true. This exercise in ‘what could be’ is more than just a fanciful escape from the daily grind — visualization is one way to bring something into being, and imagining alternative futures can help you choose the goals you want to pursue next.

1. Heartbroken, In Disrepair - Dan Auerbach — OMG. I am obsessed. I think I just discovered this song like four days ago? It’s on a constant loop on my iPod and laptop. Too bad I have to work tomorrow, or else I would keep on playing it.

2. Walk on By - Isaac Hayes — I heard it whilst watching the Black Keys thing on CBS. Super good. Full of so much soul, blues, and rock&roll…unheard of nowadays.

3. Honey Bunny - Girls — I like the beach boys influence in this song.

4. Cruel - St. Vincent — After watching her live at Coachella, I was like omg…why am I not listening to this more? Kind of ethereal yet hardcore. Don’t know how else to describe it without sounding contradictory. But this song is full of unexpected contradictions that make it amazing.

5. Black Rainbow - St. Vincent — I like the flutes in this song…and the unexpected guitar solo towards the end. Nice.

6. Tongue Tied - Grouplove — Another band I saw at Coachella. This song will be my summer anthem. So fun to listen to!

7. Chop and Change (iTunes session version) - The Black Keys — Kind of obsessed with anything Black Keys.

8. Disparate Youth - Santigold — I love the heavy bass and the vocals of course.

9. Nothing Ever Happened - Deerhunter — I heard this somewhere…forgot where. But I’ve been hooked ever since.

10. Goodbye, Horses - Q Lazzarus & Garvey — Heard it in silence of the lambs first. Always wondered what the name of the song was. Finally got around to google-ing it.
