Attention, class! It’s time for a music theory lesson. STOP YAWNING. Today we’re going to learn a very important life lesson. It will answer a question that’s been burning a hole in your soul since childhood. The light bulb in your brain will not only go off, it will detonate and cause mass rhythmic destruction […]
Contrary to popular belief, this mixtape is not a tribute to Destiny’s Child. That’s next month. Also, happy September! We MADE IT TO THE ‘EMBERS. My fave fave FAVE (but not fav) time of year. Not that it even remotely feels like fall. I look at the extended forecast multiple times a day (I’m a […]
Oooooo this is a good mix. Like, good. Really really good. Gooder. Goodest. Goodiest. We’re still rockin’ the summer vibes, of course. Boomy, airy, fun. Some old classics that make you go, “Yes! This sawwwwng.” And then, some other brand-new-to-me music that I JUST learned about within the month, that I hope you fall for […]
A few things: Happy almost June! I know it’s not technically the new month yet, but I jumped the gun yesterday and ripped May straight up off my wall calendar, so that a fresh, blank month could smile right back at me. Ahhhhh. Of course it was only blank for 1.7863 minutes, before I penciled […]
First of all, just how achingly much do you miss Parenthood? It’s BAD, I KNOW. More importantly, how bad do you miss the music from Parenthood? I can sense you nodding . . . and tearing up. It’s not even a specific song. It’s that overall EMOTIONAL FACE PUNCH that the music editors were able […]
COVER SONGS. You either loathe them, tolerate them, or dedicate your life to them. You know exactly where you stand. I’d like to think I’m a healthy mix. While I can remember the days when I was playing bass guitar and singing in my old bands, people would ask, “You’re in a band? Cool! Is […]
Look, you knew this was going to happen sooner or later. There was no doubt. But listen, I figured it’s best to get it over with early enough in the year, so you have ample time to heal from this glorious torture. Oh yes, pigeons, I’m talking about the NINETEEN EIGHTIES. (!!!) No duh. Ohhhhh […]
Noooooooovembra! I can’t even think about it. How has this year flown by??? Let’s not even discuss it. When did it all slip away??? Don’t even mention it. Why does it go by so fast??? I don’t want to even talk about it. BUT. We can talk about a new mixtape! I actually started working […]
OCTOBAAAAH! This is my all-time favorite month, you guys. Well, October and April. Maybe May. I like November, too. Wait, June is good! Anyway. It’s a new month, which means a new MIXTAPE, bae bae. And iiiit’s a good ‘n. Yesterday we found ourselves with a few afternoon hours of not madness, so we decided […]
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t actually only listen to Mariah Carey and Wilson Phillips. I listen to Debbie Gibson, too. Woo hooooo! I’ve been so freaking jazzed (see what I did there?) to start this new series. Because, before I was Will and Nat’s prop, before Bev Cooks was even a sparkle in my […]
