Julyyyy! Second half of the year, here we go. Are you kicking? Screaming? Creeping? Sliding? Singing? Bee-bopping? You’re a bee-bopper, I can feel it. I’m not sure that’s even remotely how you spell bee-bop, but I’m going for it. I don’t have much for you today, besides some tuuuuunes, bruh. There’s no real THEME, it’s […]

Monthly Mixtape: Market Blossoms and Loose Cotton
It’s May! And I’ve got the most cheerful mixtape for you. Not cheerful like hokey. Cheerful as in, feel good. Upbeat. Bob-your-head music. Because man, the blooms are fragrant, the markets are open and the wine is chilled. It is May. I suppose not all of these songs are what one would call “cheerful”. There’s […]
Monthly Mixtape: When Can We Go To A Concert Again?
I am embarrassingly late with this month’s mixtape, but – better late than never! Right? Hello? . . . anyone? The even more embarrassing thing is that I started this playlist back in early-to-mid March. We had a nice sunny warm day and were sitting out back on the patio, reminiscing about going to shows, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Bursting Sprouts and Patio Lounging

Monthly Mixtape: Crystal Limbs and Milky Windows
One month down, 835 to go! It’s such a mood mix, you guys. I feel like February is that teeter totter month when you start to visualize brighter, warmer times, but still deep in the frigid trenches of Old Man Winter and his gnarly mustache. (I mean, he’s got a mustache, we both can see […]
Monthly Mixtape: Make Your Bed and Water Your Plants and Put on a Bra
Not that you’re not already wearing a bra. Just in case you needed the nudge, though. Never mind. Happy new mixtape daaaaay! And honey, is it a delicious one. There’s no real theme, but the overall mood of this . . . just that. Mood. Which is obnoxiously vague, so let me try again. It’s […]
Monthly Mixtape: Glistening Pine and Mulled Wine
We made it to December! I’m just gonna leave that right here, for whoever needs it. Whomever. Whoever. Whatever. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Is your tree up? Are your stockings hung? Are your lights up? Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a […]
Monthly Mixtape: “Imagine You’re in a Bar Right Now”
New tuuuuunes! And I need you to visualize this with me, okay? Okay. Let’s just pretend for a second, that it’s either pre-Covid, or post-Covid, and you’ve either: a) got a sitter, or b) it’s a time before kids all together, you don’t have jowls and you’re out in a cozy dive bar with your […]
Monthly Mixtape: Crunchy Paths and Cozy Baths
Octobeeeeeeer! Maybe my favorite month of year. Definitely my favorite month of the year. For sure my favorite month of the year. This tree is in my front yard, can you believe that? Just thought I’d tell you. So this playlist! (I’m keeping this post short today because I feel like you might need to […]
Monthly Mixtape: Soothing Strings and Whispering Winds
We made it to the ‘Embers! Which in COVID time is like, three showers? (lil’ Colbert humor there for ya.) I know I say this every month, but I truly mean this every month – THIS IS MY FAVORITE MIXTAPE YET. Why? Well a) this type of playlist is laaaaaawng overdue on this blog and […]
