Rainy Pacific Northwest Playlist for those Rainy Pacific Northwest days

I love the Pacific Northwest. This quadfecta of states (it's a word!); Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon; has the best music, best people, best views, best EVERYTHNG. Now, I may be biased, but I have a theory. Part of my intoxication with the Northwest is the simply intoxicating scenery combined with the amazing music that seems to teem from these four states. It's been rainy recently - beautiful Northwestern Rain- so I put together a little mix of Northwesterny tunes together with various pictures from around the Northwest.

1. Furr- Blitzen Trapper: Portland, Oregon




2. No One's Gonna Love You - Band of Horses: Seattle, Washington

3. Pink Bullets- The Shins: Okay, this is cheating, because they formed in New Mexico...But they're based in Portland now!



4. Float On- Modest Mouse: Issaquah, Washington

5. Sixteen Military Wives- The Decemberists Portland, Oregon

6. Pop Song- Starfucker: Also known as Pyramiddd. From Portland, Oregon
