Well would you look at that – it’s AUGUST. (!) How did we get here?! Besides the whole space time continuum thing. Okay, I’m changing it up a little this month! First of all, it’s my birthday month. Not only that, it’s a milestone birthday. I’m turning 40. (FORTY.) But isn’t 40 the new 20? […]

Monthly Mixtape: Sunscreen and Sandals
Oooooo this is a good mix. Like, good. Really really good. Gooder. Goodest. Goodiest. We’re still rockin’ the summer vibes, of course. Boomy, airy, fun. Some old classics that make you go, “Yes! This sawwwwng.” And then, some other brand-new-to-me music that I JUST learned about within the month, that I hope you fall for […]
Monthly Mixtape: The “Porch Swing and Linen Skirt” Mix
A few things: Happy almost June! I know it’s not technically the new month yet, but I jumped the gun yesterday and ripped May straight up off my wall calendar, so that a fresh, blank month could smile right back at me. Ahhhhh. Of course it was only blank for 1.7863 minutes, before I penciled […]
Monthly Mixtape: It’s Like We’re in a Scene from Parenthood
First of all, just how achingly much do you miss Parenthood? It’s BAD, I KNOW. More importantly, how bad do you miss the music from Parenthood? I can sense you nodding . . . and tearing up. It’s not even a specific song. It’s that overall EMOTIONAL FACE PUNCH that the music editors were able […]
Monthly Mixtape: Judge This Song By Its Cover
COVER SONGS. You either loathe them, tolerate them, or dedicate your life to them. You know exactly where you stand. I’d like to think I’m a healthy mix. While I can remember the days when I was playing bass guitar and singing in my old bands, people would ask, “You’re in a band? Cool! Is […]
Monthly Mixtape: Parachute Pants and Saxophone Solos
Look, you knew this was going to happen sooner or later. There was no doubt. But listen, I figured it’s best to get it over with early enough in the year, so you have ample time to heal from this glorious torture. Oh yes, pigeons, I’m talking about the NINETEEN EIGHTIES. (!!!) No duh. Ohhhhh […]
Monthly Mixtape: Couple Skate
Hello, February! Did you know we have a leap day this month? Does that mean the extra day DELAYS the gray hairs, or speeds them up? I have yet to decide how I feel about this. That photo right there? ^^^ I’d like to think this is a pivotal moment of discovery in their lives, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Champagne and Diet
Happy NEW YEAR!!! Nothing blew up on your end, right? Same here. Everything’s still in tact. Besides a few loose screws in my noggin’. Do you remember where you were during Y2K?! I still think about that. I worked at a bank at the time and everyone was TERRIFIED the computers were going to freeze […]
Monthly Mixtape: Zuzu’s Petals and Eggnog
HO HO HOOOO! (I’m not calling you that. I’m just saying it because Christmasti- never mind.) Weeeell, the madness has arrived, you guys. And I want to know how you feel about it! Are you the type of person that’s like, “Seriously, can we just get through this already?” Or do you decorate your own […]
Monthly Mixtape: Fire
Noooooooovembra! I can’t even think about it. How has this year flown by??? Let’s not even discuss it. When did it all slip away??? Don’t even mention it. Why does it go by so fast??? I don’t want to even talk about it. BUT. We can talk about a new mixtape! I actually started working […]
