Welcome to New York?
We’ve written before about our love for “1989,” Taylor Swift’s poptastic fifth album and one of our top picks of 2014. I am an unabashed lover of this record. I’ve danced around my kitchen to “Shake It Off,” struggled not to sing along to “Style” (and its mash-ups) on the subway; I’ve even taken Buzzfeed’s…

January Playlist: A Shot of Vitamin D
The holidays have ended, the temperatures have plummeted, and we have all descended deep into the grey, frigid slump that is January. There are guns in the news and Christmas lights to put away, the wind chill is subzero and our throats are sore, and it all makes us want to curl up in a…

December Playlist: Merry & Bright
‘Tis the season of tidings and traditions and holiday playlists. The only month that comes with its own genre, December is just made for custom soundtracks.

October Playlist: Drizzly Morning, 3 a.m.
Don’t you just love New York in the fall? While it does put us in the mood to buy school supplies, those drizzly October evenings can get us feeling a bit melancholy and nostalgic, wistful for days past or for dreams still unrealized. When it’s 3 a.m. and sleep is nowhere in sight, sometimes all…

September Playlist: Sidewalk Stompin’
In New York, nothing sets the mood for your day more than your commute. Did you make your transfer, or were you running down the block, a ball of flying limbs, trying to wave down the bus driver (he’s not going to stop for you, no matter how much you may want him to)? Did…

August Playlist: Highway Cruisin’
Every month we hope to bring you about an hour’s worth of songs that are helping us get through our big city lives. This month we’re picturing a southbound road trip: you can ride with us on Spotify or Youtube. As vehicularly challenged Brooklynites, we often find ourselves missing the open road. So for this…
