A hangover mix... right... blah. Hangovers are no fun. Luckily I don't get them too often. For some reason after a good night of partying my body can recover before I wake up in the morning. Worst case scenario is a headache and maybe some nausea until I chug some water and take a nap for another hour. Usually, I'm just super over tired from staying up til 4am.

In fact, hangover days can be some pretty great days. Like when everyone goes out for breakfast or breakfast at lunch and reminisces about the night before. And then there are the naps and countless hours of watching movies. Hangover naps are always amazing and dream-filled. And then of course there is the music. I usually throw on some emo tunes and take one of those very long naps. Some of my go-to bands on such occasions include The National, The Weepies, Great Lake Swimmers, and Motion City Soundtrack.

Today was a Motion City day. I love these guys. Justin Pierre knows how to write some pretty amazing lyrics and he knows how to sing them too. I swear these guys write songs about my life. You ever feel that way about songs? It happens and for some reason, every Motion City song does that to me. They make me just wanna hold someone or be held; just sit there and think about life and where its going. So today was a lot of thinking about life. I'm gonna give you 3 of the today's big hangover tracks, all by Motion City.

"Hold Me Down", off of Commit This to Memory. This is one of my favourite songs. I don't know why cause its pretty sad. Very relatable though, maybe that's why.

"Can't Finish What You Started", off of Even If It Kills Me. Probably my favourite Motion City album. This is an acoustic version of the song.

"Stand Too Close", off of My Dinosaur Life. This song threw me for a loop the first time I heard it. It's way more manicured and clean than I'm used to from these guys. Still, the lyrics are amazing. Awesome song.

Alrighty, I guess I should throw up an Irish tune for St. Patty's. Flogging Molly has some pretty good hangover music as well. This is "Float" off of Float. This song is awesome and the music video amazing.

Happy Hangover everyone! And remember, its not about how much beer you can drink the night before, its about how well you can keep it down the next morning.
