I have spent the past month preparing for my return to school this September. And one of the things I always like to do is prepare a collection of music that I can listen to while I’m studying, writing, or even during general downtime around campus. Here is a little taste of some of the tunes included on my one of a kind “Max’s ‘Hittin’ the Books (not literally)’ Summer Mix”, I hope some of these songs will help you get back into the groove of school. Here’s to another year of awesome music:

Clipse

I’m Good – The-Clipse

What better way to start the day than feeling good? This is one of my favorite songs when I want to strut about the house getting ready for my day. This song will get your motor going in the best way possible as you suit up for another day of attending class and hanging out with friends. The upbeat tempo and catchy chorus will have you whispering “I’m Good” to yourself all day long!

 

FrankOcean

Pyramid – Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange has been burning up my itunes with the amount of times I have played it, so I would suggest checking out the entire album more than just one song. But if I was to pick a song I would choose “Pyramid”, the 5 minute sonic journey will have you going all over the place (it’s basically two songs in one), it starts at a frantic pace and then moves into a slow swagger that chills out the rest of the song.

GrizzlyBear

Two Weeks – Grizzly Bear

There’s no doubt that you have heard this song before, with its catchy upbeat rhythm. Grizzly Bear is one of the most talked about topic in hipster drum circles, as a great indie band that creates awesome songs. This hit is no different; with an infectious groove and transcendent vocals it will have you feeling good and spaced out all the way to class.

I hope some of these songs find their way onto your September playlists, and if you have any suggestions for songs that you like to start the school year please feel free to share! We want to hear the songs that you enjoy rocking out to. Thanks again everyone, hope you have a nice fall!
