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…

February Round Up
February may be the shortest month, but it managed to cram a whole lot into its 29 days (Happy Leap Year!). The weather flip-flopped from balmy spring to frigid winter and back again. Scout left one job and started another (her first real, honest-to-god, 9-to-5 gig — having weekends off is crazy, guys). Zelda upped…

November Playlist: City of Strangers
Commuting is an integral part of New York City life — hours spent on crowded subway platforms, sweltering in the summer and icy in the winter months, smelling of piss and one dollar pizza. When you climb into that packed train car at 8:30 a.m. (or 3:15 p.m. in Zelda’s case), your headphones are your only defense against…

April Round Up
April is the cruelest month, or so T.S. Eliot says. Zelda’s roommate’s acupuncturist (yep) takes a different approach: She thinks April is an emotionally tumultuous time, because the plants are working so hard to break through the soil that it produces a lot of violent and negative energy, which in turn affects everyone’s mood. Whatever…

April Playlist: For Our Old Kentucky Home
No party is complete without an appropriate soundtrack. These are the songs that get us in the mood all Derby season long. From bluegrass and country classics to tunes with a modern twist (Didn’t know there were rap songs about Kentucky? You are welcome.). Whether they’re Kentucky specific or just oozing Southern charm, each track…

March Round Up
Not gonna lie to y’all, our lives this month mostly consisted of navigating unseasonable weather, as we tried (only somewhat successfully) to emerge from the self-imposed hibernation of February. While we mostly remained in Netflix-binge and blog-planning mode, we did manage, in the spirit of spring, to poke our heads out of our abodes. Zelda…

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…
