Early Summer 2018 Playlist: This is My Throwback Song
It may not be Thursday, but we’re throwing it back with the early summer playlist. The heat and humidity always take us back to driving by the Ohio River with our windows down, belting whatever was on the radio at the top of our lungs or jamming out to a carefully burned CD from a…

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…

April Playlist: Sexy Getting Ready Songs

June Playlist: Songs to Lounge in Parks By
Normally, the first week of June would find us in full-blown summer mode: sweltering subway platforms followed by refrigerated cars, snow-white legs breaking free of tights for the first time all year, the tinkling of Mr. Softee trucks haunting our dreams. This year, however, Mother Nature appears to be confused. While the end of May…

Come Hear the Music Play
Summer has been in the New York air this past week (something which, for many months, we wholeheartedly believed we’d never be able to say again). The sunshine and the palpable humidity have put us in mind of one of our favorite summertime, and Southern, activities: listening to music in the great outdoors. May is…

February Playlist: Galentine’s Day
The second week of February has rolled around, and most of you are probably bracing yourselves for the Cupid-laden festivities of the 14th, whether you’re happily ensconced in a romance or looking to drown your singledom in a well-timed pint of Ben and Jerry’s. Here at Zelda & Scout, however, we are much more interested…
