I listened to a lot of music this month, most of which is not in this mix. Key among the songs that inspired it, but are not here, is “Pig Feet” by Terrace Martin with features from Denzel Curry, Daylyt, Kamasi Washington, and G Perico. The Quietus’ “Albums of the Year So Far” was a […]
This started its life as “May pt. 2,” now it might be “June pt. 1,” or it might just be “June.” I made it, disconnected, with the winter solstice in view. I just bought a grill and now I stand outside in the dark at 6pm, grilling things, listening to this. As always, h/t to […]
There will be two mixes this month. Both share some inspirations, but I’ve separated them out for reasons that will become obvious (?). Those inspirations include, but are not limited to: 1) leaving my apartment and getting coffee 2) learning what a coffee shop AU is 3) this playlist Rosalía made 4) the movie Babylon […]

A mix for some inside listening. A lot of the songs here come from Martha, Motive, and Passport Radio on NTS this month. The cover features Bosch’s “Un ángel conduce a un alma por las regiones infernales” (you can see it in full here). Tracklist: 1) “Like I Loved You” — Caribou — Suddenly 2) […]

A little late, but here we are. These are songs that came out in January 2020 or in (mostly late) 2019, inspired by listening to The Neon Skyline a bunch of times. Tracklist: 1) “Fire” — Waxahatchee — Fire 2) “Lost In Yesterday” — Tame Impala — Lost In Yesterday 3) “the view” — Oso Oso […]
After much time spent on the “best” of 2019, here is the last of 2019. I drew on end of year lists that looked at music with a different perspective than my own, like The Quietus and FACT. This mix is meant to be listened to while mixing cocktails before the first dawn of a […]
Year-end lists are a particular thing trying to be universal. That’s where the pleasure, and frustration, lies: discovering you agree with strangers on the internet (and trying not to be smug about it), or being miffed that strangers on the internet are wrong. At best, scrolling down a list of the year’s best “____” is […]
And…here’s part 2, which saw us through some solid turkey and better biscuits. These are, again, mostly songs released in the last few months. h/t to Naomi Zeichner’s show on NTS, which continues to be great. I’m still working on how to include the corrido stuff I’ve heard her play in a mix… For now, […]
