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…

August Playlist: Change is Gonna Come
Oh man, guys. This month is a lot. Zelda moved to a new hood, Scout got a new roommate and continues to search for new employment, and it feels like pretty much everything in our lives in in limbo at the moment. So what do we do in times of uncertainty, when we find ourselves…

July Playlist: Swing Me Way Down South
As we’ve written before, music has a special ability to transport us to a time or a place. Turn on a specific song and we’re suddenly post-Homecoming Dance twirling around Scout’s kitchen or in Zelda’s old Volvo driving to one of many quick recall matches in the cold midwinter. The South in particular has a long musical…

June Round Up
New York has skipped right over spring and rocketed us into the balmy, sweaty, how-many-fans-is-it-reasonable-to-own temperatures of June. We do love this time of year — it makes us think of home, where it’s so humid that the windows fog up — but it’s not quite as easy to endure without the comfort of central…

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…

May Playlist: I Want to Be a Part of It
Music has a unique power to define a place or time for us, providing a soundtrack to a certain period in our lives or a place we used to know. There are bands and songs that take us back to childhood car rides or high school dances, late nights in a dorm room or unpacking…

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…

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…

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…

January Playlist: A Shot of Vitamin D
The holidays have ended, the temperatures have plummeted, and we have all descended deep into the grey, frigid slump that is January. There are guns in the news and Christmas lights to put away, the wind chill is subzero and our throats are sore, and it all makes us want to curl up in a…
