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…

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…

5 Reasons I Love Houndmouth
We’ve written before about our love for New Albany-based band Houndmouth. We were early adopters, both discovering them in the summer of 2012 before their EP dropped, and between us we’ve been to 10 of their shows since. It took us four months to make a playlist that did not include one of their songs.…

January Round Up
We can’t quite believe that January has come and gone already, making us 1/12th of the way through 2015. This has been a month of resolutions and retrospection, of tea and Netflix and hibernation. The first real snow has fallen, the temperatures have dropped, and we’re rocking the fleece-lined leggings like nobody’s business. We both…

October Playlist: Drizzly Morning, 3 a.m.
Don’t you just love New York in the fall? While it does put us in the mood to buy school supplies, those drizzly October evenings can get us feeling a bit melancholy and nostalgic, wistful for days past or for dreams still unrealized. When it’s 3 a.m. and sleep is nowhere in sight, sometimes all…

September Playlist: Sidewalk Stompin’
In New York, nothing sets the mood for your day more than your commute. Did you make your transfer, or were you running down the block, a ball of flying limbs, trying to wave down the bus driver (he’s not going to stop for you, no matter how much you may want him to)? Did…

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…
