Modern Mixtape Vol. 19: Like Right Now

Published on

180360_ModMix19Cover

Hello, hello dear friends! I’ve had a few requests for an updated mix, so what the people ask for, the people should get. Right?!

I made this compilation for all things Summer 2016 related; road trips, lying on the beach, maybe a casual get-together, or in my case — as something to listen to on a few Trans-Atlantic flights and long journeys in the car with 3 kids.

It’s full of all my current favorites from the Alt/Indie music scene like Mitski, Kristin Kontrol, Wild Nothing, Yumi Zouma, M83 and DIIV. But there’s also a couple of appearances from old school faves like Beck, DJ Shadow and Garbage. And as usual, there are always a few stragglers sneaking in from last year that I was late to discover. 

Lastly, I’ve decided to turn in my pirating patch, so this will only be available through playlist services. The good news is, I finally figured out how to make a playlist on Spotify. I think… 🙂 (If you have another app you like to listen to mixes, please let me know and I’ll add it!) Enjoy.

Modern Mixtape Vol. 18: Into the Deep

ModMix18CoverMusic Monday!

Who’s in the need of some new tunes? There have been loads of killer album releases over the past several weeks.

This latest mix contains a few songs from the summer that I never got around to publishing, but mostly new tracks that just came out.

I’m loving Wolf Alice, who I recently got to see in San Diego with my friends, Desi and James. They were awesome live, albeit even younger than I’d imagined. All the same, they have a great current take on 90’s alternative. I’m also loving John Mark Nelson, Small Black, Broken Bells — oh who am I kidding? I like them all! I hope you will too.

Modern Mixtape Vol. 17: Get to You

Published on
//

180360_ModMix17I lied. I am clearly incapable of posting music quickly. After beating myself up about this, I realized the whole point isn’t to deliver music as fast as possible. Instead, it’s about making well-curated mixes of what I liked and listened to each season. 

‘Get to You’ is heavy on strong female vocals. About half of these songs are new releases, while the others managed to make it through the winter and my editing process to be included. I really wanted to add Florence’s new song, “What Kind of Man” but it just didn’t fit, so be sure to check that out. I hope you like it!

Modern Mixtape Vol. 16: Slip Away With Me

Published on

180360ModMix16Happy Friday, my friends! This has been a hell of a week. I’m ready for the weekend and hopefully a handful of cocktails, a dinner party, a photo shoot, and going to the theatre to see my best friend in her latest play. How about a soundtrack to go with that and to help drown out this past week?!

I’ve been compiling this mix pretty much since the last one 6 months ago, and frankly that was too long ago. Some of these songs are a little older than I’d like, as I prefer to share new releases. In an effort to keep it current, I removed several but had to keep one that I loved too much.

There are a few surprises on here… namely Coldplay! Normally they’re too mainstream for my taste, but this song is good. I’m also really loving Wolf Alice and Angel Olsen. What can I say? I’m a sucker for strong female vocals. TV On the Radio’s Happy Idiot is a super catchy and solid track; it makes me want to dance every time I hear it. And lastly, there’s the one I had to keep in, Misses, by Girls in Hawaii, which reminds me of Elliott Smith. [icon size=”small” style=”none” icon=”heart” ]

Modern Mixtape Vol. 14: She’s Alright

Published on
/

180360ModMix14What a bizarre week! After multiple house guests, a quick trip to LA, followed by a lazy spring break — the kids didn’t want to do school and frankly, neither did I! In fact, I’d like to be permanently outside until summer hits. 

Over the years I’ve found that spring is a great time for new music, which brings me to my latest mix, “She’s Alright.” It’s definitely on the electronic side, but I think you’ll like it all the same. 

Artists include: Phosphorescent, Devendra Banhart, Rhye, Toro y Moi, Autre Ne Veut, Gliss, Junip, Atoms for Peace, Bonobo, Local Natives, Veronica Falls, Gypsy & the Cat, Blackbird Blackbird, Suuns, How to Destroy Angels, The Joy Formidable, and London Grammar. 

Here’s to a better weekend!
(Will someone please have a cocktail for me?)
