Midwinter Playlist 2018: Bomb Cyclone
Last week, the East Coast was walloped by a snow storm. And not just any snow storm: This thing earned the unequivocally dope classification of “bomb cyclone.” Now sadly, we both had to make our way to our offices despite the howling winds and pelting snow and sub-zero wind chills. But what we should have…

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…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

August Playlist: Summertime Sunshine
Summer is coming to a close, and we’re all very sad about it. While we won’t miss the heat or the humidity or the smells of a New York summer, there is a distinctive scent of reality check in the air as we head into fall. So before the last of these long, lazy days…

July Round Up
It’s summertime in the city, and the living in our parts is decidedly sweaty. The heat has seeped in everywhere, even in places that should remain blessedly cool (see: Scout’s workplace, Zelda’s apartment). Zelda spent much of this month drowning in politics (#newsroomlyfe), while Scout was besieged by hordes of summer campers (#museumlyfe). But we…

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,…

April Playlist: Sexy Getting Ready Songs
It’s finally April, y’all, and the rising mercury means we’re ready to leave our caves of winter hibernation and hit the town! Now for us that means our favorite bar and not necessarily “Da Club” (If you’ve met us, you know we’re not really club people…unless we’re in Europe, and then it’s a whole new…

February Playlist: Love Love Love
Oh February, you month of hearts and flowers, chocolate and cupids, fuzzy teddy bears and glittery cards and more pink and red than a strawberry stew. As two brutally single females, we can tend to regard all these Valentine festivities with a healthy dose of cynicism and a tinge of despair. We’re equal opportunity love bugs,…

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…

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…
