Listen to the playlist here

“Said and done”Quentin Miller

This sounds like leaving the club at 4 am. Contemplative and dreamy; sobering up after a wild weekend.

“Shot my baby”Daniel Caesar

The Killing of Two Lovers (2020) dir. Robert Machoian

“Peaches”Jack Black

This song has burrowed itself inside my brain and will probably never leave. Jack Black is a treasure.

“Yo Digo Que Las Estrellas” Silvio Rodriguez

Reminiscent of a bedtime story. Reminds me of Otis Redding with a hint of Joan Baez. The guitar can put me in a coma.

“Of Another Kind”Winston Surfshirt, Milan Ring, Jerome Farah, Panna Cotta

Could’ve been in Idlewild. Sounds like early Black Eyes Peas (complimentary). Swings and sways. Put this in the new Aristocats.

“WOOF MEOW”Saiming

A wobbly vibe. He raps like he’s ice skating; elegant, sleek, and sharp.

“Orange County Punk Rock Legend” The Garden

If the puppets from ‘Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared’ made a band and practiced their sets in a burning garage, this is what they’d make.

“Dream Hill”CASIOPEA

I can see why YouTube has suggested this band to me in the past year. The last 50 seconds sound like podracing on the rainbow road. Shouts out to BobnLarry.

“BREADWINNER”Floyd Fuji, Topaz Jones

Sometimes men want to provide. Gender role aside, there’s a specific kind of depression that comes when you realize you’re not able to take care of yourself; let alone the ones you care for. If I only had more money.

“black enuff”redveil, JPEGMAFIA

Shaka Zulu warrior music. Black is confidence. Black is power. Black is beautiful. Black is enough.
