Arcade Fire and Florence on Obama's Playlist
The American President - well his Campaign Staff - have published a playlist of the songs he's using for his re-election campaign...
It's mildly more believable than when David Cameron recently said he's a big fan of Lana Del Rey and Band of Horses.
The American President and his Staff's choice of tunes for his campaign trail have been condensed into a handy Spotify playlist.
The choices include a smattering of cool soul numbers courtesy of Earth Wind and Fire and Aretha Franklin, a nod to the pop world with the arguably odd choice of Ricky Martin's The Best Thing About Me Is You, a hint of retro rock n roll with Electric Light Orchestra's Mr Blue Sky and various indie-rock favourites including Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait, Florence and The Machine - You've Got The Love (a tad predictable?) and Noah and The Whale - Tonight's The Kind of Night.
