This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
“When trying to put together a playlist that ‘sounds like summer’, sometimes it is best not to think too much about what *exactly* that means, and instead just go with what feels ‘summer-ish’. This mix is full of those kinda tracks.”
“Swirling guitar textures that burn like blue fire in my chest cavity.”
“Go metal detecting by yourself. Don't bring kids or partners or relatives. It’s fun and sometimes you find a treasure.”
“Ryan's albums have been great comfort lately as my family has had more than it's fair share of tragedy. Beautiful sounds, most comforting. Thank you for your art.”
“Can't believe I just found out about Close Enough — it's all the best parts of Regular Show, except now the characters are actual old human millennials and not talking blue jays or raccoons or gumball machines that act like old human millennials. Extra relatable, highly recommend.”
“Jamaica has been blessed with great singers so you might have missed him. Used to sing lead in The Techniques (check them out!) and these solo sides are more than welcome.”
I realize it's a bit cliche to make a reggae playlist for 4/20 — BUT — I've also been meaning to dive into making a 95-track reggae playlist for awhile now, SO, the fact that April 20th + Reggae are both associated with marijuana, let's just say everything kinda happened organically.
“There's always a new layer to discover from Tamara's writing. Album after album it's continually building to a beautiful end whatever that may be. Love this music.”
“Every song is just gorgeous, the best of Indie-pop distilled into this album. Imagine Pulp-Jarvis Cocker singing Morrissey lyrics with Belle & Sebastian as the backing band... thats halfway as good as this.”
I started playing around with the idea of sorting my Spotify ‘liked’ music by the artists monthly listener counts, and since I’ve accumulated + continue to accumulate a lot of ‘liked’ music, I thought it might be interesting to keep ongoing 95-track playlists for certain listener thresholds. This one is for those with less than 10k monthly listeners.
