As you know, this weekend was our big Yard Sale Party. We had a great time, as you can read all about from yesterday’s post. As any good young hipster-yuppie-dink knows, the most important part of any garage sale is the music. So here’s some of the fine tunes we spent listening to Saturday morning from the comfort of our yard, and then Sunday cleaning to.

1. Phoenix – Lisztomania

2. Passion Pit – Moths Wings

3. Daft Punk – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

4. Grovesnor – Nitemoves

5. Justice – D.A.N.C.E.

6. Passion Pit – Sleepyhead

7. Kill The Lights – Skinny White Girls (This isn’t on YouTube for some reason, or, if it is, you have to sift through a lot of creepy “skinny white girl” videos that I don’t want to. This is a CBC podcast – when you click on the link, just pause the current song playing at the top, and play this one instead.)

8. The National – Daughters of the SoHo Riots

9. The Go! Team – We Just Won’t Be Defeated

10. Sugar Ray – Falls Apart
