Alright, friends, it’s that time again. Let’s see what the playlist holds this month. As I mentioned last time, my current new music obsession is Nothing But Thieves. As a matter of fact, we start with their absolute banger, “Is Everybody Going Crazy?” Apt. If you don’t know the 1966 song “You’re Dead” by Norma …
This playlist starts with and is largely dominated by a band I’ve newly discovered called Nothing But Thieves. It’s amazing to see folks younger than myself writing new hard rock that hearkens back to rock that is older than me. Young’uns like this are keeping it alive and I love it. They often channel the …
July was tough this year. Pop’s birthday was the 31st. The playlist sort of demonstrates the emotional chaos that brought. Start with “Reagan” by Killer Mike. He brought absolute fire with this, but it’s sort of depressing as hell now. Sometimes we would start the playlist here, other days we had to skip it. Because …
In the summer of 1970, “In the summertime” by Mungo Jerry stayed at number one on the charts for six weeks. It’s fun as hell, but the lyrics are “a time capsule from another era” meaning either racist as shit or sexist as shit. In this case, sexist. Still, it’s vibing. There are a couple …
“Do you feel it?” by Chaos Chaos. “Honest” by the SSRIs. “Never Alone” by Krigare. In case it weren’t blatantly obvious, this May was about loss.
The playlist this month is just 20 copies of Harry Styles “As It Was”. Happy April. Nah, just kidding, we didn’t want to do what literally everybody else on the internet is doing. So it also has some SOFI TUKKER and a little One Republic and maybe a shameful Justin Bieber song. It’s good, okay? …
Some months, the playlists jump out at us. Songs throw themselves into our consciousness, either through ads or social media or beamed directly into our brains by The Mouse.
February. It’s been three months long, at least. And our playlist shows that it’s all over the place. We start off with a collab from Two Feet/Grandson called “Until I Come Home”. It doesn’t define the vibe of the rest of the playlist at all, but it is a fine bop with an infectious twangy …
January starts off strong with Daði Freyr’s Somebody Else Now. This song is upbeat, quirky, and fun as hell. On top of that, the message speaks to me deeply. For years, my personal hopes (prayers if you want to call them that) have been “to be a better person”. How can you become better if …
