Comin' On Christmas

December 17, 2014

Suddenly, it’s the holidays again and instead of grumbling about how another year of your life has flown by, why don’t you just succumb to the holiday spirit? Enjoy this playlist while trimmin’ the tree, havin’ a party or craftin’ those last minute presents you swore you would finish in November. Any way you choose, be sure to surround yourself with the warmth and love of family, friends or pets. And whoever it may be, don’t forget to spike the Silk Nog.

Sup Gym Boo

December 02, 2014

Tis season for excusable and unashamed gluttony. And while I'll be the first to admit my own excitement about eating dessert three times a day, let us not lose sight of our true wealth this holiday season: our health! Even though us bloom babes prefer the great outdoors for cardio, this cold weather often keeps us in the gym. Ew, the gym? Yes, the gym. A breeding ground for not only germ-soaked-sweat but also unrequited love. Enter the infamous gym boo. Enough sexual attraction to translate motivation by way of heavier reps, extra miles, deeper squats. This playlist was made for you and yr gym boo. The perf mix of dance vibes to remind you working out can be fun, sexy vibes as backdrop to yr gym boo daydreams, and hard vibes for those xxxtra 20 lbs. on the rack in case you catch bae peekin.

No better way for all you dorktectives out there to celebrate the SPOOKIEST month of the year than with this X-files fanmix. A halloween playlist dedicated to the madness shared by our favorite punk skeptic, Dana Scully and oh *so dreamy so tender* believer, Fox Mulder, and their unspoken emotions between one another. Intended for all you lovers on the the hunt for the supernatural – seek the truth in this mix because there's nothing more trill (truth + real) than love and punk, and feeling the spookyness of falling for anyone.

Stay spooky friends. And remember, the truth is out there. SOULMATES NEVER DIE.

What We Leave Behind

September 20, 2014

When you move to a new place, sometimes it is hard to tell if you are moving on or running away. When you leave the best friends you have ever known, you find their faces washing over strangers' faces while you make small talk. Memories of times past flood your mind while you lie in bed, watching the car lights dance on the ceiling through the window. Stumbling home, you wander down streets and alleys you have yet to memorize. This playlist attempts to capture that sense of alienation, and the unavoidable guilt that accompanies every big decision when you think "what if I had not?" All we have are bits of nostalgia wrapped in a sea of noise...Enjoy it before it is over.

As much as I love New York, all I wanted to do this summer was break up with the city. Driving across the country by myself still remains a dream. This playlist is about running away/leaving/being left either physically/mentally/emotionally. Let's be real, NYC is the boyfriend you want to leave but can't. You'll always be my bb!

When The Daylight All Goes Around

July 23, 2014

Throughout the south, the sun remains merciless, leaving every body unable to escape it's wrath scorched and sweaty. Take refuge from the heat with a tall glass of lemonade and this playlist inspired by America at it's most scalding.

Maybe if you're in a weird mood and you just want your day and music to be slow. Here's a slowxcore lullaby mixed in with some post-rock and a little post-punk (sorry couldn't help it) for your post-modern brain.
