April! How about some cheery music, eh? It’s a mixtape that lifts the spirits a bit. Soothes you. Energizes you. Calms you. It’s all of it. Listen, it’s tax time, so we need all the calming and soothing and deep breaths we can get. Without another word, I give you . . . the “Budding […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrit’s been a week. You guys are not going to dang believe this. I don’t like to dump personal woes on the general public, but for this, I gotta collect data and make a big decision, man! PONY UP. Last Friday (as in, an entire week ago) I started a load of laundry and zipped […]
I nearly forgot! Nearly forgot to make you a mixtape for February. No excuses. (well, I do have some, but I’ll save it for tomorrow, once I’m on the other side of Stress Mountain. It’s bad.) But we have it! And it might be my favorite. One of my favorites. It’s a step away from […]
We’re baaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaack! Happy happy January! Are you feeling it yet? Are you in? It always takes you (me) a few days to wrap your (my) head around a NEW YEAR. We’ll talk about it more in detail tomorrow, but for today, why don’t we ease in. With this most cheerful mixtape of all mixtapes. It […]
Hi! Hey! It’s voting day! I have so much nervous energy today. Can’t figure out . . . why. So, I’m giving you an old mixtape while we navigate the week ahead. I’m going to deep clean the hall closet and listen to spa music for the unforeseeable future. If you missed this mixtape a […]
It’s October, how could we not! (also you asked for it.) This is essentially part two to my “I Need to Feel Like I’m in a Jane Austen Movie” mix. An extension of that flow, that angst, those swells and swirls. Cellos that bottom out with so much emotion that your heart nearly collapses. Piano […]
Septembah! Iloveitiloveitiloveit. But listen, we’ve been out of town and I’m staring at two overgrown yards and gnarly weeds and wimpy plants and I gotta get out there. Time to manicure! So we’re listening to last September’s mixtape, which you loved. So I feel like we’re still in that jazzy mood (when are we not, […]
Let’s take a moment to appreciate that the high in Kansas City today is SEVENTY NINE. If we’re not violently flinging doors and windows open this very instant we are done here. Also, time for a mixtape! An August mixtape. It’s my birthday month so clearly you’re obligated to listen. This one is gooooood. It’s […]
July! Does that stress you out? I feel like we need some jazz this month. Some easy piano grooves. A bit of saxophone. Maybe a trumpet here and there. Something cheerful and moody to carry us through these bloated and humid summer days. Between playing uber driver to the pool and back, camp director for […]
Juuuuune! We won’t talk about how this has happened. Listen, you’re going to know all these songs. Think: summer movies meets windows down meets childhood memories meets vibe. That’s what we’re going for today and this month. I’d gab more, but I’m off to get an oil change for the van before we’re en route […]
