I am an average girl. I like average music. However, I like finding obscure artists not normally heard on RX or Magic. Wait, wait…don’t judge and brand me a music snob or music virtuoso for I am neither.

Having said all that meet my Get Up and Go (Gimik) Playlist: a mix of the old, familiar and odd picks that is best played when prepping for Girls Night Out.



1. December 2 Chapter VII – Taken By Cars
2. Give It - The Out Of Body Special
3. Because Of You – Ne-Yo
* 1-3: Listen while getting your arsenal on. Bath, shoes, clothes, make-up, check. Warm up tunes to get you ready for the havoc you’ll reek.
4. Jump – Madonna
* Your soundtrack when sashaying to your friend’s car as they pick you up or getting to your vehicle. In gay words, Rampa!
5. Red Lipstick - Skint & Demoralised
* Do you have yours on? A song to groove to while in transit.
6. Damn Girl – Justin Timberlake ft Will.I.Am
7. Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
8. Let's Get Restarted – Black Eyed Peas
9. Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship feat Leighton Meester
10. Keep Your Hands Off My Girl – Good Charlotte
* 6-10: Best when shared with friends and feed off each other’s party vibes. This is it!
11. Banquet – Bloc Party
12. Jump In The Pool – Friendly Fires
13. Mr. Brightside – The Killers
14. God is a DJ – Pink
* 11-14:More songs to get you off your a*s. Play before getting to your destination but good enough to dance to AT your destination.
15. Mare – Black Eyed Peas
* Closer for the night!
