I know I do. What with this incredibly gloomy MONTH of bad weather, it hasn't been too easy to get my butt out of bed and out the door every day.
I recommend a healthy helping of some GOOD SONGS to assist you in your quest.

GOOD SONG #2: Call It What You Want by Foster the People.
Foster the people was originally called Foster & the People, but because people kept messing it up, the new version stuck. Mark Foster, Mark Pontius, and Cubbie Fink (yeah, amazing name, I know) are the three main members, with some other dudes (Sean Cimino and Isom Innis) coming out to play at their live performances. They formed in California and DANG, do they make some find indie-pop. Really, if this stuff doesn't get you out of bed with your head bopping, I don't know what will. They released an EP in January, and their full album, entitled "Torches," dropped in May of this year. There are already various remixes of this stuff (check out The Hype Machine), which doesn't surprise me at all. It's just begging for it.
FYI, they will be playing on SNL on October 8th (this coming Saturday).
If you liked these songs, you might also check out:

Over and out,
Anna
My butt can attest that Anna's is not the only one miraculously moved by Foster the People. After a long hike yesterday, the last thing my sore butt wanted to do was leave its soft indentation in my mattress and walk into work, but once Pumped Up Kicks started playing, it couldn't help but start to move. This band is a prescription for bumming bums the world over. But don't take my word for it. Your ass should give it a try.
