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 […]
Monthly Mixtape: Humming Trees and Velvet Breeze
August! We won’t even talk about how this is possible. Other than the whole natural and expected time continuum thing. I know there’s a lot of anxiety bubbling at this month’s rim. (and all months’.) And rightly so. Schools are starting, cases are still rising, the government pushed the snooze button, it’s all such a […]
Monthly Mixtape: Cut Flowers and Sun Dresses
JULY! It’s July. Which means we’re halfway through this 38-month year. I swear, from March to now it feels like 87 lifetimes have passed. Yet also in a flash. How is that possible? Where are we? Who are you? Where’s my deodorant? To celebrate another page rip from the calendar, I’ve put together a mix […]
Monthly Mixtape: Blowup Pools and Tambourines
June tuuuuunes! Hey that rhymed. A week ago I started putting together this mix. Before everything that happened happened. And on Friday I gave you all a poll on what you’d like to listen to in June, and the resounding answer was underground Motown. So I kept with it. I didn’t want to shy away […]
The “Chill It and Trip It” Mix
Good morning it’s May! It’s been May for five days. But I feel like you might have a needed a reminder. That it’s May. Ohhhhh you guys this mixtape. I’m so excited because it’s different than anything I’ve posted before, and I have a feeling it might just do the trick for you. It sort […]
Monthly Mixtape: I’m Gonna Need You Six Feet Away, Okay?
Helloooo, April! Also, how was March six and a half months long? This mix, oh man. Once I wrapped my head around it, crafting it was oddly fun to make. Because at first I was thinking, worldly songs from around the world because of the world and all the pain in the world. And then […]
Monthly Mixtape: Wispy and Shoegaze and Lushy
MAAAAAARCH! (I get excited about things.) At last, I’m seeing longer strands of 60s in the extended forecast. Windows have been open twice in the last seven days. Beers were consumed on the front porch over the weekend. To-do lists of seeds to plant and leaves to rake and stains for the patio table and […]
Monthly Mixtape: Are We Slidin’?
How was January five and a half months long just now? None the less, we’re cruising into February and I’ve got some tuuuuunes for ya! And it’s a THEME. You know how I like a good theme. My friend Trisha asked me a while back, “Are you ever going to create a country mixtape?” Well, […]
