Late Spring Playlist 2019: Rise & Shine
We’re finally getting back into the swing of life after a long, long winter (like seriously long…it was 40 degrees last week). The sun is finally out, it’s warm enough for bare legs and shoulders, and for the first time in her life Zelda is working a daytime job! It’s all very exciting. So inspired…

5 Musicals That Should Exist, But Don’t
Well, another theater season is over, and “The Band’s Visit” ran away with all the Tony’s. We’re happy for them (Zelda, who saw and adored the show, especially), but still we can’t say we weren’t a bit underwhelmed by the selection of musicals on Broadway this year. I’m not saying that the musicals out there…

Late Spring Playlist 2018: Derby Hangover
Getting back into the swing of real life after the Kentucky Derby is a little bit difficult, we’re not gonna lie. This last week back in New York felt longer than most, and we’re still struggling with not being able to spend all our free Saturdays sipping mint juleps in the sun (or, in our…

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…

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…

Inspiration Tuesday: I Hope
What to say. After the events of this past weekend, we could really use a little pick-me-up, some sunshine in our lives to drive away all the hurt and anger and hate. Love is love is love is love is love, y’all, and so we keep striving, and loving, and working for a brighter tomorrow.…

Long Time Gone
Wednesday morning I woke up early. My weird work schedule has me basically nocturnal of late, so I was shocked to discover that a. 6:15 a.m. is an hour that exists and b. it’s light outside, at least in my corner of Brooklyn. I stumbled through the steps of getting ready: brush teeth, wash face,…

May Round Up
Hot damn, guys, it is officially summer in the city! And with barely a handful of true springtime days to call our own. The sticky heat has descended on the boroughs with a vengeance, prompting us to invest in some seasonal picnic blankets, new sandals, and industrial-strength window fans. Where did this past month go,…

May Playlist: Once You’ve Loved Somebody, or The Dixie Chicks and How They Made Us
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to talk about a band. On the surface, this is a simple story of three Texas gals — a fiddler, a strings player, and a singer — who found each other and started making music. They released four albums, toured the world, ran into some hot water with…
