  • Early Spring 2018 Playlist: Wild Flowers

    Early Spring 2018 Playlist: Wild Flowers

    It has technically been spring for two weeks now, but here in New York City, you wouldn’t know it. On the Monday morning when we compiled this playlist, snow was falling outside our windows — big fat flakes that covered the ground, coated the trees, made fluffy hats for the trash cans…and then melted within…

    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.

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…

  • December Playlist: Merry & Bright

    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…
