lack of sleep/excess of homework + sounds of summer: royksopp

i'm in a terrible mood today.
my room is right underneath my upstairs neighbors' kitchen and for the last week, i've been woken up at around 4:30-5:00am every morning by the sounds of someone stomping around upstairs.
it happened again this morning.
luckily, after about an hour, the elephant who lives upstairs left the kitchen and i was able to sleep again.
but i woke up an hour later.
and then a half hour after that.
and then another hour after that.
and so on and so forth until 10:45am.

i have a major headache and a spanish test to take today [which i am a little nervous about] so, all in all, i'm a little grumpy.

as we all know, the cure for grumpiness is good music.

enter royksopp.


my brother introduced these norwegian dudes to me last summer and love their electro-pop sound and dance club vibe.
it's impossible to listen to the opening track, "happy up here," and not have a smile on your face.
in fact, after listening to that very song, my grumpy mood is now 35% subsided!
it's a christmas miracle!

listen to this album on your next summer morning run or while getting ready for a girls night out!
