Early Winter Playlist 2017: Holly Jolly
Sleigh bells ringing, lords a’leaping, dreidels spinning, candles glowing: The holiday season is full of magic and light. But our absolute favorite part may just be the music. We count down the days until that magical Friday in November when, Thanksgiving safely stowed away until next year, we can let our festive flags fly. It’s…

Late Autumn 2017: Spook
We both have a soft spot for Halloween, and all things spooky. (Except horror movies: We do NOT like horror movies. Witches, curses, ghosts, all great, but you can keep your jump scares and gore to yourself, thanks.) We love tales of vampire slayers and charmed ones, murder mysteries and sister witches, demogorgons and pumpkin…

Early Autumn 2017: Ring Them Bells
We’re moving into early autumn here in Brooklyn. The sky is still sunny, but there’s a crispness in the air that marks the inevitability of sweater weather (our favorite kind). But even as we thrill to the first hints of fall, we find ourselves reflecting fondly on the summer coming to a close. And at…

Midsummer 2017 Playlist: Patriotism or Something Like It
It’s the Fourth of July! And in celebration of the birthday of our (sometimes) great nation, we’ve got a playlist full of patriotic show tunes for you to enjoy. While the majority of these songs celebrate the red, white, and blue, we tried not to limit ourselves to songs celebrating (or not) the United States.…

Early Summer 2017 Playlist: Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain
If we were back in Kentucky, summer would be upon us already. School would be out, the weather would be warmer, and the pools would be opening. But alas, we are not in our beloved home state, and while we’re happy to escape the influx of pollen and dander that the season brings, there are…

Late Spring 2017 Playlist: Call to the Post
It’s our favorite time of year y’all. Winter has finally ceded the reins to Spring, flowers are blooming, and it’s time for the most decadent and depraved event in all of the South. Dust off your seersucker and unpack your fancy hat, it’s Derby Time! Now, as we reiterate each year around this time, while…

Early Spring 2017 Playlist: Rise Up
We’re nearly two months into the new America, and here’s where we start to feel that lull, that loss of hope and will power and the siren’s song urging us to bury our heads back in the sand where it’s safe. The deluge of bad news, injustice, and outrage is constant and overwhelming, each day…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

Winter 2016 Playlist: Snowfall Songs
We love a good holiday song here at Z&S. Give us chestnuts roasting over an open fire, dreams of white Christmases, and dreidels made of clay, and we go positively cuckoo for carols. We abstain all year, you see, saving up for that sacred festive season, and then as soon as the clock strikes midnight…

Autumn 2016: Rain-Soaked Highway
Autumn has rushed into Brooklyn. The air is crisp and cool. Zelda is unfurling her cavalcade of scarves. Kids are heading back to school. and Scout is heading back below the Mason-Dixon line on a 12-hour road trip to attend yet another wedding (she’s actually quite excited about this one), and Zelda is off on a journey her…
