Songs For Winter – A Playlist

photo
For me, winter music was always defined by the music being played through my (horribly blown) 1984 Volkswagen Jetta speakers on the annual drive down to the cabin for New Years. I usually ended up doing the drive on my own, due to the overwhelming amount of hockey practices that would take place at this [...]

A Christmas Mixtape! For You! From Me!

photo
This is only part 1 of a two part winter playlist. As you would expect from the cliche title, this is purely ‘Christmas’ related music. Although, it’s Christmas related music that has been majorly filtered from my mass amounts of Christmas music I’m sure everyone has either heard, (Alvin and the Chipmunks, Bing Crosby, Frank, [...]

An Autumn Mixtape

picture
Tomorrow’s Halloween, anddd my Physics midterm, SO I figured there was no better time to make an autumn mixtape. As I said in my last post, I believe Autumn is the most perfect time for singer-songwriters, and lonesome music. Everything is in slow motion, the leaves fall like their falling through mollasses, and black coffee [...]

The Indie Portal: 2002/2003 – A Playlist

I get these incredible cases of music nostalgia, if it could be called that. I get this incredible longing to go back to certain points in my life where I was introduced to a certain band or a certain genre of music, and I had to discover the ins and outs of that. I constantly [...]

I’m wide awake, it’s 4 a.m – A Playlist

It’s 4 a.m. My vanilla scented candle has burned to a close. So has my energy. My mind is swarmed with the Vedic texts and Sutras from my Hinduism readings. It still seems light outside? Nightime here really isn’t very dark. I say that, but over these 3 weeks in Montreal I have heard the [...]

We drove in silence across Pont Champlain – A Montreal Playlist

Polaroid outside of Le National after Animal Collective – Photo by me!
Montreal is the most amazing place in the whole world! Not only because I’m going to be living there for the next 4 years, and not only because my grandparents and my cousins are out there, and not only because the music is amazing, [...]

‘friday night and i didn’t go to Kanye.’ – A Playlist

photo: postmarks
I always find myself making playlists at the most bizzare moments. Like sitting at a red light, trying to scroll through your ipod in 2 minutes to come up with a decent “on the go” before it turns green. Or spending hours making the perfect playlist to accompany something so insignificant like the cleaning of my room, [...]
