This song always reminds me of this other one.  Had them back to back on a CD years ago and always loved how they worked together:

Incubus - Aqueous Transmission


TheFrighter


I recently hear this song on the radio... and I thought: "Did I really enjoying this crap when I was younger?"

OutKast - Humble Mumble

Yeah, that's a great track and a really interesting album. I'm not huge into hiphop, but I've always appreciated Outkast's exploratory style.

It's a bit simplistic, but that's a good track!  So is this one that I heard the other day, and your pick reminded me for some reason:

White Town - Your Woman


Snarky

#424
That's one of those 90s one-hit-wonders (I read an FAQ with White Town a while back where he said he'd pretty much given up his music career after this song, though he seems to have made a very minor comeback). I remember with a mix of fondness and cringe. (See also: Fools Garden, "Lemon Tree")

I'd never heard these guys before, but... instant fan:

PS: Radiohead are so effing brilliant!

Current mood: dancing my ass off to these goddamn hippies in my kitchen while making pizza. That klarino!

As per usual I'll let myself out...



For a sec I was really happy to see the video you posted but then I realised it wasn't Jaja Ding Dong... :D

Nice track by the National.  I've just started getting into them recently.  I found this INXS cover song they did that I enjoy:

The National - Never Tear Us Apart


And apparently the main songwriter just co-wrote and recorded an album with Taylor Swift that's getting good reviews.  There's also an artist called Bartees Strange that has several reinventions of songs by the National, including About Today.  Good stuff to check out.

Cool track, but not what I would think of as hippies!

Not a bad Europop track, actually.  I've been meaning to watch that movie.

Good fun!

I'm compelled to post this:

Pat Boone - Enter Sandman


But this is what I was listening to:

Mr. Kitty - After Dark


The vocal delivery of the verse kind of reminds me of Dammit by Blink-182, so that's fun.  Sonically, this is a completely different song.  Love this one lately.

Cool track, but not what I would think of as hippies!

The album is called "The Age of Aquarius" and they have lyrics such as "Singing along / Along with the angels / With all the spirits and animals / Become one with the universe" or "We are dreamers of a different world / Surrounded by eternal love / And peace with perfect harmony / The dawn of age of gold". Sounds like a bunch of hippies to me :-D

(Edit: also, I stand corrected. I just found out that the wind instrument is a Gaida (a type of bagpipe), not a Klarino!)

If only I had a dollar for every time I got my gaidas and klarinos mixed!

Took a minute to grow on me, but yeah it's a really nice chilled out track. I like the strings and the east asian twang (I can actually name that instrument! A Chinese Pi Pa~). Sort of reminds me of that mid-century Suzie Wong movie.

Totally feeling it! That three beat guitar pulsing in the background mid-song (cue air guitar and air head banging (laugh))
