Travel Essential: Your Playlist

Okay, maybe you're not flying private, but a great playlist companion is almost as good!

August, the prime month of vacationing, is less than a week away. By now your trip is booked, wardrobe is set and ready to go (just kidding), you got your TSA- and Spa Week-approved 3floz travel toiletries set, leaving only one matter to tend to, which is creating the perfect travel companion: your playlist.

Here, listen to the top downloads of Summer 2010 mixed with the most recent downloads of our Facebook crew. A compilation of songs to reflect on your weekend getaways, the summer ‘10 spirit, and build the suspense for the looming adventure. Let Taio Cruz, Duffy and Natasha Bedingfield take you away on your bright and sunny end of summer break.

What summer songs are a must-have for tuning out the guy snoring in the seat next to you?

Playlist: The Happy Hour

It’s Monday once again. As we brace for a long day of reading emails, pitching projects, and just trying to get into the groove of the work week our minds are dead set on the hour of happy.

Below you’ll find a playlist of happy hour classics from Neil Diamond and ACDC to our latest addictions from Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. Sit back, relax and enjoy as your dream about that 5 o’clock brew.

Playlist : Summer Barbecue

Aaahhh the sweet sounds of summer. You worked hard on keeping your body tight all year just to let it all go for a good summer barbecue.

The sizzle of burgers on the grill, the yelp of excitement each time a new guest enters the patio, and of course the perfect music mashup of feel-good classics from every genre and era.

No summer BBQ experience is complete without sounds of Bob Marley, Tom Petty, and The Beastie Boys cascading in the background.  As you prepare for your annual Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and “Just Because” grill out days, kicking off your playlist will be one less thing to worry about.

Update: We beef-patty’d it up with 10 more songs right before the weekend, per YOUR song requests. Wolly Bully seems like the perfect bun-toasting number, no?
