Music for school Ski Tour DVD

Jackobyte · 26-02-2011 11:18pm #1

I have to make a DVD for my school's ski tour and I am fairly stuck music-wise for it. I'm looking for upbeat music that isn't too loud or overpowering. The only one I'm decided on so far is Song 2 - Blur. Help would me greatly appreciated.

Well, if you're looking for upbeat music that isn't too loud or overpowering, I'd be inclined towards Two Door Cinema Club/Phoenix/Delphic, anything really with an electronic sound.

There are plenty of songs though that would fit the brief, like even Radiohead's more upbeat songs, and Sufjan Stevens and the like. I have lots more ideas off the top of my head if this isn't very helpful.

I'll listen to some of that and get back to you. Thanks a million.

This always reminds me of that Blur song:

Maybe something by The Strokes or Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Bits of Maximo Park's 'My Velocity' meet your criteria too. Others that might be worth a listen:
Call Me Blue (A House)
Lust For Life (Iggy Pop)

Had to dig deep into my collection to some find happy, upbeat songs.

I don't know much by them. I know Last Nite and Maps, other than that, I don't know anything of either of theirs.

I was the same. I went through all my music and came out with about 3 or 4, none of which were fantastic.

They seem to be pretty good. I had already picked out some A-Punk by Vampire Weekend and So Near by Jack Penate from my own collection so they are exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for. Thank you
