Happy April! It’s our anniversary! 21 years. Don’t tell my jowls about this. We plan to take coffees in the van, make our IRA contributions and hit an estate sale for Easter basket things! SO romantic. (actually my favorite. the estate sale part. and the coffee part.) Speaking of, what are you putting in your […]
Who needs a festive little Valentine’s Day mixtape? And I swear to you, it’s not corny or cliche or silly or dumb. (<–said like Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Christmas Vacation.) It’s just a good one. Jams of all style. A bit vintage, a bit indie, a bit classic, all fantastic. What I visualize for you is […]
A new month, a new mixtape! And this time, it’s sponsored. Who is she?! I think it is so fun that Natural Delights Medjool Dates is sponsoring this mixtape. Why? Because it’s a date night playlist! Get it??? Date night?? Medjool dates? Da . . . okay. Right. Guys, it’s a rock solid mix of […]
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 […]
