Current Top 5 Favorite Indie/Alt. Songs
The Neighbourhood is my definite top favorite band of all time. I have been around since the days of 2012 when the I'm Sorry... EP came out. Across time I have noticed that every album/ep that they have come out with, in my personal opinion, gets better and better every time. Most people know this talented band from one of their top famous songs "Sweater Weather," which came out in 2013.

The Best Playlist to AppeaseYour Flaky, Anxious, Socially-tired Heart
To be honest, this is the only thing keeping me from buying the next plane ticket out of Portland. As much as I love my life right now, being at university, seeing my friends and boyfriend everyday, playing lacrosse, something in me is always wanting to be on the move. I sit in lecture thinking of backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains, sipping coffee in Australia, or train rides through Germany.

The 'List: Fleetwood Mac
Hello, one and all. Here's the second artist profile for the new year. A mixed rock/pop act from both the US and the UK that formed in London. They went through many lineup changes and were considered more of a blues/rock band before changing their sound often and still have success elude them, until after another band member dropped out and there were five official members and their self-titled LP was released in 1975 and as they say...the rest is rock 'n' roll history.

Silver Linings Playlist: John Barry
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I honor the maligned, forgotten, and ignored. There are many elements to movies that largely tend to be ignored by the average viewer and only noticed by film students, professional critics, or total geeks. How many people do you know that would pay attention to the editing, for example? One of those elements that fade into the background for the average movie-watcher is the film's score. I consider that tragic since, when done right, the background music can be just as important as the actors onscreen. The right melodies can establish the setting, create the mood, and even tug at the audience's heartstrings. A great composer can make a great film a masterpiece and can even buoy a lame film. After all, John Williams' "Dual of the Fates" was one of the saving graces of The Phantom Menace.

The 'List: Heavy Metal
Hello, one and all. So, here it is. The first official heavy metal 'list compiled by me and by good friend Calvin (Quaker Oates) Cherry. This one was a bit long to compile on account that we both love the genre and wanted to come up with the absolute perfect 'list. Yes, we here at... I'm not sure what we call ourselves; except Hall & Oates 0.2? We want to give you the best balls-out metal experience! Anyways, on to the 'list, but first, a history lesson.

The 'List: Billy Joel
Hello, one and all. My 2018 New Year's resolution is to make these 'lists more fun and challenging, and as promised; new genres explored, more decades explored as well as years in the rock era from every decade: 50s all the way to 10s. But, every now and again, with my good buddy Calvin (I'm Hall, he's Oates) Cherry, we will indeed profile many of our favorite singers, songwriters, artists and groups. So, with great fanfare and a tickle of the ivories, our first new year artist profile 'list highlights the career of one William Martin Joel, a.k.a. Billy Joel, a.k.a. The Piano Man.

Bad Bentley January 2018 Mix
Ok, so last January I did a New Year's Eve mix while I was in Bali on tour with my other half. Beat had just launched and I swore I would do a mix every month. It was one of my precious New Year's resolutions, it lasted two and a half months.... I add the half because I DID do a March mix but it was for a completely different reason, so it didn't count. BAD Bentley.
