  • 3 Hours [Best of January 2014]

    3 Hours [Best of January 2014]

    In January I listened to a lot of new music. Most of the artists in this month’s playlist are represented by just one song, but some favorite records from the month included Rogue Wave’s Nightingale Floors album, and Simon White’s Silver Silver and Yakiimo albums. This playlist clocks in at just about 3 hours. Enjoy!

  • 60 Tracks [Best of December 2013]

    60 Tracks [Best of December 2013]

    December of this past year was a mild one for me, musically. Not a lot of new discoveries, really, but I listened to a lot of old favorites: Andrew Bird, Damien Jurado, Bob Dylan, the Wainwrights.

  • 100 Tracks [Best of November 2013]

    100 Tracks [Best of November 2013]

    Here are 100 tracks that I listened to and enjoyed in November 2013. I was into a lot of mellow, acoustic guitar music this month–lots of John Fahey and the Derek Trucks Band–things like that. I remember really enjoying Beth Orton’s Sugaring Season and Mason Jennings’ Always Been records, listening to a lot of Richard…

  • 200 Track Supermix [Best of October 2013]

    200 Track Supermix [Best of October 2013]

    October was a good music month for me, and as evidence, I submit the following: 200 of my favorite songs from that month. Stuff I was really into in October: Advance Base (I totally fell in love with his A Shut In’s Prayer record), Tom Brosseau, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Matthew E. White’s…

  • 55 Tracks [Best of September 2013]

    In September I remember listening to a few artists and albums pretty heavily: Ghostpoet’s Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam, Frazey Ford’s Obadiah, Eleanor Friedberger’s Personal Record, Baths’ Obsidian, Nathaniel Rateliff’s Falling Faster Than You Can Run, Mika’s The Origin of Love, Efterklang’s Magic Chairs, The Duckworth Lewis Method’s cricket concept album Sticky Wickets, J…

  • 75 More Songs [Best of August 2013]

    75 More Songs [Best of August 2013]

    Here are some songs I listened to and liked in August 2013. Heavy on Alexi Murdoch, Al Green, Emmy the Great, Guy Clark, Fiona Apple, The Lone Bellow, Sea Wolf, and Townes Van Zandt. Weird month–must have been because I was turning 31? In any case, Enjoy!

  • 50 Tracks [Best of May 2013]

    50 Tracks [Best of May 2013]

    April had 100 tracks, and May had but 50. More time out of doors, perhaps? All the same, there are some lovelies in here. Fair amount of Bob Dylan, Sharon Van Etten, and Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Enjoy.

  • 100 Tracks [Best of April 2013]

    100 Tracks [Best of April 2013]

    Here are the 100 songs that I listened to and liked in April 2013. Pretty gentle, slightly sad music for the most part, I’d say. It was a good month. A lot of Clem Snide, Low, Keaton Henson, Mountain Man, and Emily Wells, with a fair amount of Sharon Van Etten and Ólöf Arnalds thrown…

  • 24-Hour MEGA MIX [Best of March 2013]

    24-Hour MEGA MIX [Best of March 2013]

    I listened to (and liked) a ton of music in March 2013, apparently. Turns out I’ve got a playlist of almost 24 hours of starred songs from that month, which makes it a perfect end of year-New Year’s mix. Going back through this playlist was an absolute (and often surprising) joy. It’s a pretty eclectic…

  • Spotify Series: Starred Songs, January-February 2013

    Spotify Series: Starred Songs, January-February 2013

    This is the second of the starred song Spotify playlists that I’m sharing each week. These are all the songs that I starred in January and February of 2013 (the first two months of my current job!). 74 playable tracks (lasting about 4 and a half hours). Listening back through it, I’m feeling pretty happy…
