May day! It’s May! Isn’t that what people say on the first day of May? Something like that? I’m feeling nostalgic. (Shocker!) Let’s go back in time. We need nothing but ’80s and ’90s vibes this month. Some radio hits, sure, but isn’t that what pulls us right back into the thick fabric of memory?? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Happy April! APRIL. I’ll never understand it. Also, it’s our 19th wedding anniversary! NINETEEN. I’ll never understand it. To celebrate, I’m giving you a mixtape of music we were manically obsessed with back then. Me with no jowls. Aaron with no gray. Most of these songs are from albums that actually came out in 2005. […]
You’re about to get soooooo vibed out. First of all, happy March! Our trees are already budding. Daffodils are in full force and I’ve heard an achoo or two in the distance. Spring is here. And this mixtape is exactly what you’ll need for this seasonal transition. It’s all instrumental tripped out lo-fi jazz experimental […]
Well heeeeey, and Happy New Year! Let’s ease in, okay? We’ll start with music today. I have a mixtape for you and it’s probably and most definitely 100% what you need. It’s a lot of ’70s vintage with a splash of ’90s goodness with a hair of current. And by current I mean a Taylor […]
Who might be in the mood for some summery tunes? You in the back? I see you. Also it’s my birthday month so you have no choice but to listen. Immerse thyself in the flowing breeziness of this carefully crafted mixtape! (I have an accent in my head whilst typing this but I feel like […]
April! Time to open windows! Time to garden! Time for picnics! I can chill. Things are starting to blossom. The temperatures are spectacular. Patches of lime green are spreading through the yards. Daffodils are the boss right now, and tulips aren’t too far behind. It’s a magical transition. So let’s have a slight get-ya-going mixtape, […]
