WILT | SPRING 2020
For the past few years I've been curating collaborations and calling it the WILT (or What I'm Listening To Series). Starting at the top of the year I group 2 months together (with the exception of Summer) and spend the next 60 days filling the playlist with everything from newly discovered tracks to old gems and earworms.

I’m sure many of us feel like our days are blurring together. In fact, I’ll be the first to raise my hand. But that's why I wanted to seek small joys out of my days during self-isolation.

It's Not For Me to Say
The last time I made a playlist was the end of 2018 for a customer at your favorite local coffee shop. Though she didn’t appreciate it I hope you do. If binge watching Hulu’s High Fidelity has taught me anything it’s how to make the perfect playlist. As Rob says, “Making a playlist is a delicate art. It’s like writing a love letter, but better in a way. You get to say what you want to say without actually saying it. You get to use someones else’s poetry to express how you feel." So here’s my love letter to you.

"Quarantunes"
Most things are closed right now. But you know what's not closed? MUSIC! Whether you're making your own, driving with the radio on full blast, jamming with your vintage 1990's boombox, zoning out with headphones on, or having Alexa play your favorite songs on demand- MUSIC IS OPEN! Open and essential. It keeps me sane, hopeful, and can change my mood for the better in an instant!

Nostalgic Songs For Twenty-Somethings Stuck At Their Parents’ House
In scary times like these, we naturally want to be near our loved ones. A lot of us twenty-somethings, out of fear for ourselves, situations, or family members, flocked to our childhood homes to stay (safely) close to them. Some of us are also college students, in which case there wasn’t much of a decision to be made on whether or not we’d be coming home.

A Hit of Optimism: Quarantine Playlists
As a yoga + meditation teacher, I've been taught "mind over matter" for as long as I can remember. While toxic positivity is definitely a thing we need to watch out for, I still believe that you'll attract more of what you put out in to the world. And right now, what I think we need is a bit more optimism.
