Fall 2018 Playlist: Nora Ephron Goals
Don’t you just love New York in the fall? We ran away to Zelda’s home away from home in New Hampshire last weekend — an all-too brief jaunt but one that was full of both peak foliage and peak cozy. It was hard to tear ourselves away, but we were thrilled to find that autumn…

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 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…

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…

December Playlist: Comfort and Joy
We here at Zelda & Scout are firm believers in separation of the holidays. October is for jack-o-lanterns, November for turkeys: We do not subscribe to pre-Thanksgiving Santa hats or peppermint kisses. We fast and abstain, shutting out the twinkle lights and the carols that every store starts piping in as soon as Halloween passes (sometimes…

September Playlist: Indian Summer
Last week we turned the page on the calendar with eager fingers. Fall has always been our favorite season, and September promised changing leaves and the first hints of a drop in the mercury, the air crisp with possibility. Mother Nature, however, does not seem to have gotten the memo. We went to sleep with…

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…

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. Everybody has that one song that defines the holiday season for them. For some it’s classical, for some it’s decidedly not, but they’re all twinkly-lit with cozy memories and…

November Playlist: Oldies and Goodies
The holidays are almost upon us, and we’ve been getting nostalgic. Something about the colder weather and dimming days has us hankering for the vintage, something finely aged with a little more soul. So for this month’s playlist, we have “Oldies and Goodies.” Some of these are songs we grew up with, some of them…
