This week’s Soundtrack is actually based off of songs that have gotten stuck into my head (and I’m not counting “Rude Boy”, no matter how often Toma sings it…)
Anyway, the prevailing theme of the week was “throwback” and the idea that the old stuff is usually the go-to options for party/chill/relaxing music. So, chillax and enjoi.
BTW, the last song… I have my reasons ;)

This week’s Sunday Soundtrack will focus on some tracks that I’ve been dancing around the house to. Or, more accurately, been getting myself hyped up to run around the neighborhood with. Just got a new pair of Lunarglides in the mail, so I’m itching to break those out tomorrow.
But, in the meantime, listen to the tracks, get your groove on, and dance around the house or around the block.

This week’s Soundtrack will focus on the Springtime ritual: Basketball.
It’s almost March, so March madness and the heart of the NBA season is soon upon us. So, here’s a mix of songs that get me hyped to shoot the rock… or at least fire up NBA Live and play ball that way.
So, grab your unusually long basketball shorts, a pair of those new KOBEs or LeBRONs, and maybe a wristband. We’re going HARD for the next 48 minutes.

Sunday Soundtrack 2/14: The lightsleepers Silly Love Song Mixtape edition
As some of you may know, I was, once again, a part of the lightsleepers annual Silly Love Song Mixtape event. This year, it featured lists from myself, LOFA, Kavet the Catalyst and Newkon.
You can go ahead and click on this links to check out their lists.
Well, as is always the case on Sunday’s, I usually post up a list of tracks, but… since I’ve already done that this week, I’m just gonna repost the list I came up with, along with the descriptions of why each song was chosen.
So, hit that “show original post” link, check out the flash player, and read along with the descriptions.
Your Touch - The Black Keys: Of Course, I’d have to start it off with something rocking. This song, if you watched Zombieland, comes up at the romantic peak of the movie.
Nothin’ On You - B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars: Ummm… I just like this song haha. Those beautiful girls… they got nothin’ on you, girl.
I Wanna Be - Avant: Now, we getting serious. I think this song speaks to the lover in all of us. Especially those that have to prove a point to make sure that they won’t hurt the other like the previous person.
A Song For You - Donny Hathaway: See the above description and apply it to this song too. This songs hits al the right emotional points and should demonstrate the way how a love song should be sung. I love you so much, that’s why I’m singing this song for you, girl.
Pretty Wings - Maxwell: This song speaks to me like I have to let you go to make your life better. No better love than one who lays his best interests in the better interest of another. I love you a lot, but I know there’s someone that can love you better, so I want you to be free and find yourself, hopefully finding that person in the process.
Or it can just be a dope song. Whatever.
Slow Dance - John Legend: This song reminds me of just chillin’ on the couch with your beloved and just reminiscing about all the dope times, making more memories along the way. Life is about making those moments you remember, not really dwelling on the petty stuff.
Knocks Me Off My Feet - Stevie Wonder: “There’s something about your love, that makes me weak… and knocks me off my feet.” SING IT STEVIE!
Dance with Me - Intrigue: Everyone has that song that reminds them of 9th grade prom/formal/dance/whatever. This is that song for me. When listening to this song, imagine trying to dance with one of your close female friends, all while trying to stare at her forehead.
(They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters: It’s Homer and Marge Simpson’s wedding song. How can you not think this is romantic?
A Little Bit - Drake and Lykke Li: For some reason, when I think of a particular person, this song plays in my head.
Pretty Brown Eyes - Mint Condition: When this song comes on, you know it’s time to get the slow dancing started.
You Make My Dreams Come True - Hall and Oates: Did you watch 500 Days of Summer? I feel the same way walking out of my house when I hear this song. I think any woman that can have that affect on me is definitely wifey material. Serious.
And that’s my mix this year. Hope you enjoy it with someone you love.
So, this was the playlist that was going through my head when I wrote my last post on Valentine’s Day. Just a bunch of track, going through my head, then again, when are these Soundtracks anything but?
Well, since today is the biggest football game of the year, people are weighing in on their predictions for the game. If you check out the colors of the media player, that should give you a hint who I’m pulling for.

This week’s Soundtrack is designed to get you in a groove and get you moving. I know I’m dancing right now. Need to keep the momentum going from the past two weeks, so here’s to continued forward progression.

This week’s Sunday Soundtrack is all about movement and getting up to move.
A lot of us make the resolution to get moving and to finally get that weight loss program on track. Well, I’m hoping that we can buck the trend this year and actually do it, without falling into the usual rut 2 weeks later.
So, with that in mind, here’s some tracks that get me up and about on this lovely Sunday morning. I went a little top-heavy with the drum and bass, but it all balances out towards the end of the playlist.
Had to end it off with some Neptunes, only because it gets me in the mood to slow down and enjoi the run/walk.
So, get up, throw on some sweats and… clean the house or something. Sorry I couldn’t make this mix portable, but you can catch the drift here.

So, I figure I’ll throw my version of a year-end edition with some of my favorite tracks from 2009. These tracks, for some reason or another, defined what I think 2009 was all about. I know some of these songs weren’t released in 2009, but somehow, these songs resonate and give me a good feeling about this past year. Also, started and ended the playlist off with some standards for New Year’s Eve.
So, get your reminisce on, enjoi the tracks and have fun this upcoming Thursday going into Friday.
Also, have you downloaded the official atypicalLIVING x DJ enJAY New Year’s Eve Mix? If not, click here for the business. It’s good listening as you watch the seconds tick by.

This is the final Sunday Soundtrack before the holiday, so I just wanted to drop this little gem before you go out and get your last minute shop on.
You’ve heard all of these before, so I’m not gonna go into any detail about it. Only one you probably haven’t heard is that Reliant K track and that’s one of my favorite non-Christmas Christmas songs.
So, enjoi this set of tracks. Hope you’re using it as background music as you wrap presents. Or, if you’re like me, stapling the paper bag.
