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, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Honey and Sugar and Mayonnaise
New yeaaaaar! New like, everything. Year, decade, century, millennium, myrioi, megaannum, all of it. Don’t argue with me about this, just smile and look pretty. To celebrate the new all of it, I’ve obviously got some sick beats for you. Actually, can Taylor Swift throw me in jail for using the words “sick beats”? I […]
Friday Flotsam
FRAAAAAHDAAAAAAAAH. Let’s get DARK for a second, shall we? You’re like, I’m out. I’ve debated on asking you this for w e e k s now, and I keep chickening out, because it might, I dunno, be triggery? But I keep coming back to it, and then I chicken out again because I feel like […]
Monthly Mixtape: Pumpkin Patches and “I Got a Rock.”
Octobeeeeeeer! Ahhhhh this is my absolute favorite month of the year. My favorite TIME of year. I want to punch it in the face I love it so dern much. Halloween costumes – check. Pumpkins on the front porch for all the squirrels to masticate and destroy – check. New trench coat eagerly waiting for […]
Monthly Mixtape: Straw Visor and New Moon
August! Yeah it completely freaks me out, too. The gremlins start KIN-DER-GAR-TEN in 15 minutes, the ’embers are right around the corner, and some of my spring potted plants are expectedly crispy on the unders. Tiiiime keeps on tickin’ tickin’, into the fuuutuuuuure. STOP IT. However, it’s my birthday month, so I refuse to get […]
Monthly Mixtape: ’90s Hip Hop, Yo
“BEFORE I HAD STATUS AND BEFORE I HAD A PAGER.” Is there any better way to start this day than with those lyrics? No. No there is not. At last! The ’90s Hip Hop mix I’ve been promising you for ohhhh how long? Okay, less than a month. But it’s here! And it’s gooooood. It […]
Monthly Mixtape: Garden Blooms and Heirlooms
Happy May Day plus an extra day in May! I think. I won’t keep you. It’s Thursday, and the rain has paused just long enough for me to get outside and get some garden ish in the ground and my window boxes pimped and the HONEYSUCKLE VINE planted (I got a honeysuckle vine! Aren’t you […]
Monthly Mixtape: WAIT, IS THAT A SPROUT UNDER THAT SNOW.
March! What a teasin’ snoot. I have to remind myself every single year, BEV DO NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS, YOU’RE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF. Yet every year I get excited about this and fool myself. It’s a sickness. First off – spring is in 15 days. FIFTEEN DAYS. Should we interlock fingers, press our foreheads […]
