The Music Maven's Music Monday #12: Your San Diego Comic Con Playlist 2014


We’re only a couple weeks out from San Diego Comic Con – time to start packing our cosplay, sharpie markers and items we want signed, AND getting our SDCC music playlists going.  Here’s what I’ll be listening to as I get ready for the Con and what I’ll be listening to while hanging out in the H Hall line.

*California Waiting by Kings of Leon – the theme song for those of us who travel from out of state to SDCC.  I’m the worst procrastinator ever, I hate packing, but just the thought of seeing California palm trees gets me motivated to get ready for our SDCC/Cali adventures. 

*The Best Day Of My Life by American Authors – because let’s admit it, any day at SDCC is the best day of your life.

*From Nowhere by Dan Croll – GTA 5 fans will be familiar with this song.  P.S. I love his music so much.

*Oh, Mr. Darcy by The Doubleclicks – this sister duo takes nerdy music to another level.  This my favorite Doubleclicks track.  

*Bartholomew by The Silent Comedy – Love this band and they played a great set last year during SDCC at the History: Vikings Experience

*Dark Horses by Switchfoot – can’t have a SDCC playlist without a song from my favorite San Diego band.  

*I O U a Fall by Gemeni – A song about my favorite fandom and it’s such a great tune!  These lovely ladies will be performing during the SherlockeDCC Party at the San Diego Library.  Can’t wait to check them out live! 

*What I’ve Done by Linkin Park – what’s summer and SDCC without a blockbuster action movie song?  Linkin Park will be performing during mtvU’s events at Petco Park on Thursday during SDCC -- should be a great time! 

*Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons – this track is from this summer’s Transformers 4 movie.  Hard to believe this band has gone from performing in small clubs to writing for Michael Bay movies in a two year time span!

*Get Golden by Parade of Lights – this song was pretty popular during the Winter Olympics – it’s so good it’s one of my summer jams.  

And there you have it…some tunes to get you in the SDCC mood!  Share your favorites below and see you in San Diego!

I wish I was going to SDCC - this playlist is great! I've only listened to a few of these songs, but I'm excited to listen to the rest.
