There are certain songs that sound especially perfect when paired with a quiet morning, a warm beverage, and having enough time to just sit and do nothing except enjoy that special bit of the day that exists before the actual day rears its demanding head again.
“This is delightful, brings me back to a time when music of this nature had a little fun with itself. Looking for a brief respite from the landslide of heavy weight issues, 'Continuous Portrait' will provide some off-centered, yet uplifting shelter.”
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.
“Bella is worshiped as the goddess of nature and heart break on my home planet of Melmac.”
“A timely set of poignantly biting songs full of an extremely apparent passion for the old-time style. Excellent commentary on these surreal days we're living through.”
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.
“All the mystery of the desert at night, compressed into a rare jewel of an album.”

“Two of my favourite deep thinkers/teachers got together for a chat over coffee in Prague in 1992, with an eccentric waiter making comedic interruptions throughout — AND — now, 30 years later, I/you can eavesdrop on it, for free. A good reminder that the internet isn't all doom-scrolling-distractions, it's also wonderful stuff like this.”
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
“One of my favorite albums of all time. An amazingly produced and written album. I seriously believe Willie Ev is a pioneer in a new sound of hip hop. I have never heard beats or rhymes delivered like this before. Ever.”
