I’ll tell you right now, New Year’s Eve is a sucker’s bet. It’s good for only a few things: 99-cent-store noisemakers, wearing those glasses shaped like the year, kissing someone as the clock strikes 12, and dance parties in someone’s living room. This playlist I put together for you, my bestest of internet friends, is good for background for the first two things (YACHT, GbV), will embolden you to do the third thing (the Zombies!), and will most definitely make it easy to set up that last thing (Robyn, Scandal, BritBrit). I am pretty sure the Mayans were wrong (fings crossed) about 2012 but if they weren’t, there is no better way to go out than with Robyn’s backward-roll-into-slow-floor-hump move…just maybe practice a few times first? Happy New Year, you guys!!!!

Log in to replyCome on Eileen is the best happy/dancing/singing along song EVER! <3
Log in to replyROBYN IS MY QUEEN.
…that is all.
Log in to replyDrive Me Crazy is easily the best Britney song.
Log in to replyYeah, new years is kind of dumb. All of my resolutions are from mid July or early November. Just because it’s the new year doesn’t mean that it will bring new promises.
Log in to replyI though This Will Be Our Year by the Zombies might not actually be on there, because it was way at the bottom, and I was shocked!
Log in to replyBut it is, and it’s a good playlist anyway!
Sooo glad that you commented on Robyn’s backward-roll-into-slow-floor-hump move… That shit was crazy.
Log in to replythis mix is solid gold bananas. Greg Kihn Band. Anaheed just taught me the word ‘AUCE’..just by being. Back to GKB: one of their/his albums is called ‘Kihnspiracy’. Pretty perfect.
Log in to replyokay… this is freaking awesome! love it all.
Log in to replyIf this playlist is a potato, it’d be a pretty nice potato.
AND ASKDLJFLKSJF I LOVE WEEZER!!! =W=
Log in to replyI LOVE COME ON EILLEEN
Log in to replyDinosaur Jr. What?? Best playlist ever.
Log in to reply“This Will Be Our Year” is one of my favorite songs and I literally squealed when I saw it on the playlist!
Log in to replySo, I love Come on Eileen, but after watching a show where they made jokes like, “Eileen, there’s something white on your dress…” (ewwww….), it’s just not the same. :(
Log in to replyLOVE this.
Log in to replyOn another note, the end of the Mayan Calendar doesn’t signify the end of the world as everyone seems to be worried about, it actually signals the beginning of a ‘Golden Age’. So if you believe that stuff, you should be happy! :)
everytime i here come “on eillen” i feel like i’m gonna die of a overdose of hapiness
Log in to replyI essentially worship Rivers Cuomo as a house hold God… just… well done.
Log in to replyYACHT extends its deepest gratitude, but we hope your 2012 will be a blissed-out utopia, not our fire-and-brimstone vision of dystopia!

Your playlists are all perfect!
Log in to replyI think a song of Stuck in the Sound (a french band that sing in english) (like pursuit or brother) would have been perfect in it!
so glad you put the zombies on there, one of my favourite songs :)
