Brightest Young Things

There's 20 solid inches of snow outside and how you react to this depends on a lot on your temperament. Are you the kind of person who gets a weird embarrassing tingle of joy when disasters occur around you? Is it followed quickly by stacks of guilt and cookie-making binges? Or do you just want to lie in bed under the covers moaning just loudly enough that your housemates will hear and bring you yogurt?

Either way, this playlist will take you to a magical island where buxom ex-hippie waitresses make drinks in pineapples and you live on an immobile houseboat and album covers like this are possible:

Escape to a land of smooth living and sleazy grooming, where it never snows, or stops being Sunday and you're always moments away from a drug-induced coma. Come sailaway.
