The December 2018 Spotify Playlist
With winter hitting, I need a lift. The tone of this particular playlist is on the decidedly lighter side of the spectrum. And then there's Christmas...
The October 2018 Spotify Playlist
To make up for the fact that I haven’t posted a playlist in months, I packed this one with more songs than usual. Along with a few of my favorites from Aretha, I included songs by artists introduced to me by my friend Steve Lippman, who passed away in August.
The June 2018 Spotify Playlist
Occasionally, I’ll throw down a playlist with a discernible theme or mood. Although this isn’t one of them, it does have a summery vibe. When it comes to music and general listening, I favor the eclectic with offbeat surprises, especially from resources like NPR’s All Songs 24/7 and KCRW’s Eclectic24 streams. This month’s playlist captures the well-rounded flavor of those stations.
The May 2018 Spotify Playlist
I haven’t updated the monthly playlist since last August. Shame on me.
David Byrne’s February Playlist: “The Beautiful Shitholes”
Last night, I had a dream about David Byrne – a dream that was, shall we say, “romantic.” (Who doesn’t have a crush on David Byrne anyway?) Though I forget most of my dreams, the timing of this one was odd because it was followed up by his monthly David Byrne Radio newsletter this morning, announcing his February music playlist on Mixcloud.
The Men’s Shop Playlist
If I ever owned or managed a men's shop or a barbershop, this is the music that would be playing.
The August 2017 Spotify Playlist: Atomic Blonde
A glorious nostalgia overload for any Generation Xer.
The July 2017 Spotify Playlist: Baby Driver
One of the year's best movies is Baby Driver. One of the best parts of the movie is the music. And it's really good.
The May 2017 Spotify Playlist
It's a mix, a mélange and a mess. (But it's a lot of fun.) Happy Spring!
