Need new happy music

[Quom]

Want something that will put a smile on your face or whatever. Prefer it to be poppy moreso than guitar/indie/slow type music. You know like happy vibe/summery car type music that you can't help but smile to (Vampire Weekendish I guess). Would prefer singles or songs to entire albums too I guess (unless it's like Owl City where nearly all the songs really fit the bill).

Hell even good slower songs are okay I guess (Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson etc. etc.) Just trying to make someone a happy mixtape since they said everything I listen to is depressing. Plus wouldn't mind finding some happy stuff for myself.

Islands!

But which songs or album?

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Not sure, I've only recently got into them and can't make any specific recommendations.

But all throw in "The Laws Have Changed" by the New Pornographers so you're not totally out in the cold.

Islands first album is really crazy indie pop.(Rough Gem, specifically.) On that note, The Unicorns. Which is basically Islands before Islands.

The only others off the top of my head is Matt and Kim, I'm From Barcelona and Cut Copy. All are really upbeat badass shit.
