Monthly playlists featuring new releases I’m into, friends I’ve made playing music, and whatever old treasures the online ouija board led me to that month. They inevitably coalesce around a feel or a set of genres, so if one month isn’t for you, next month might be.
June 2022: Every Single Storied Rainbow | Apple Music | Spotify
With a title like this you'd expect a Pride mix, but it's more loosely themed around daydreaming and looking at the sky, which... is pretty gay I guess. Comfort Americana for sleepy cowboys, featuring a lot of Chicago friendlies and a lot of songs I heard on Kit's 2021 year-end mix.
May 2022: Something’s Got a Hold of the Past | Apple Music | Spotify
chill-but-not almost-summer mix: new alt hip hop, 70s easy listening, '22 easy listening, folk songs that are rap songs, rap songs that are folk songs, stealth queers, two Helen Reddys, and some ballads I'm learning for a wedding
April 2022: The Wild Precious | Apple Music | Spotify
folky/jazzy new growth feat. my friend Lee, some J-Pop, some Brazilian folk, lots of new music from the insane first quarter of 2022, and a bunch of songs I heard on the show Our Flag Means Death
