This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

There is a very small window leading up to Jesus' birthday where listening to Christmas music is bearable, if not even just a little bit desirable. But it's gotta be the good stuff.
As someone who lived in England for a good handful of years, I can tell you that it's not quite as grey & cloudy as everyone always says it is. But it almost is.
I recently did a proper deep dive thru all 14 of The Tragically Hip's studio albums so I could officially figure out what my official subjective album rankings would be... and a part of that process resulted in the creation of a massive mix cd featuring 95 of my fave Hip songs. This is that mix cd.
“A soundtrack for when you're doing some thinking, reading, studying, working, daydreaming, soundtracking an audiobook and/or just ruminating out the living room window.”
A hearty mix of a bunch of great music coming out of Ireland (and for playlist purposes + my general lack of history, this includes Northern Ireland too). So go grab yourself a bowl, because there's a tasty collection of headphone ingredients in here.
When trying to put together a playlist that "sounds like spring", sometimes it is best not to think too much about what *exactly* that means, and instead just go with what feels "spring-like". Which, admittedly, might mostly mean songs that mention rain or melting.
Sometimes, the easiest way to go back in time is to just put a time capsule collection of musical vibes in the headphones, close your eyes and let the music drift you away. You might even say that this is the only way to travel back in time (tbh I don’t know much about time travel). So, with that in mind… let’s take the soundtrack back the 1950s! |-> OPEN ON SPOTIFY
Whenever you say that you like "country music", it is very important to clarify what you mean by "country music". The music on this playlist is what I am talking about when I profess my country liking and if you've ever listened to modern country radio, you should understand exactly why the clarification is needed.
Because I was born in the 80s, I feel a more nostalgic connection to the cartoons, movies and video games that come from that era than I do with some of the ‘polished in a uniquely 80s Capitalism/Consumerism way’ music, BUT, just like with any other decade, there’s a whole bunch of interesting gems worth discovering/revisiting — this eighties playlist being an example of that. |-> OPEN ON SPOTIFY
“I realize that Australia and New Zealand are totally different countries and the people don't like being confused with each other *BUT* I think we can all agree that they're very close in proximity on the map and their flags kinda look the same, so… here's a 95 track playlist featuring artists from both totally different countries.”
A mix of a bunch of great music coming out ‘South of America’ (and for playlist purposes this includes Mexico and all the countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean). So pack some loose, breathable fabrics and go grab the headphones.
Canada gets a lot of stick for our overt niceness, being obsessed with hockey and a bunch of other ‘simple folk’ stereotypes—but people often forget that in between the maple syrup free-basing we do to distract from our colonial past/present, we also make a lot of really good music. This playlist highlights some of it, from coast to unceded coast.
