It's a Friday, we're all at work, waiting for the hours to wind down to our weekend bar hopping New York nights in the city. I've been feeling down and out with money issues, career issues, et al. on the brain. So I choose to be upbeat with the tunes I bop my head to before I cruise into the weekend of fun times. Here is a top five of The Drunk Little Asian's Girl's playlist to prep for the weekend.
1. The Hold Steady's "Stay Positive" -- A tune that will have you pounding your fist in the air and yelling "Wo-oh-oh...wo-oh-oh, we're gonna Stay Positive..." And if that doesn't get you in a rockin', ready to go out and tear the New York Streets apart mood, I don't know what will.
2. Bruce Springtseen "The Promise Land" -- Okay, a little of a downer, but hey, there is something about when you hear that souful harmonica play, and gritty feel of the Boss's words "I've tried my best to live the right way, I get up in the morning and go to work each day..." to the crescendo of "Mister I ain't no boy, no I'm a man, and I believe in the Promise Land." And hell, after a hard working week, this gets me to thinking of better, greater times ahead --- like a Friday night out in great New York bar, a nice cold drink in my hand.
3. The Futurehead's "Beginning of the Twist" -- This feet stomper, adrenaline pumper is eoungh to make you put on your best hipster attire, zip up those black boot heels, and rock out on the streets until you head into the Friday Night dance whirl.
4. Against Me's "Thrash Unreal" -- And the first lyrics are..."If she wants to dance and drink all night then there's no one that can stop her." Need I say more?
5. The Virgins' "One Week of Danger" -- Listening to chic cool beat rhythm makes you feel like whipping on those shades, tilt your head to the fall sky and think, "Shit yeah, the weekend is here."
Rock out your weekend, folks. I know I will.

Excellent song choices, though yeah, that Springsteen tune is a major downer. Great song, but c'mon "Throw away the dreams that break your heart"?
I'll have to think of my Friday night pump up songs... "Thrash Unreal" and "Stay Positive" would probably make my list too...
