Music Mondays – May Playlist

May 9, 2016

I know I didn’t deliver my promised post-Coachella recap and that’s because I sadly didn’t end up seeing a lot of the festival this year. I was sick for the majority of Saturday and Sunday and unfortunately missed out on a lot of the acts. I was understandably incredibly disappointed…I had looked forward to the festival for an entire year and then got about 1/10th of the experience I was expecting and hoping for. It has taken the past couple of weeks to recover both physically and from the let down of missing something I so wanted to experience.

Fortunately my husband and I are planning on a summer jam packed full of concerts and festivals to make up for Coachella and are ultimately catching the majority of acts we didn’t get to see over the next few months. All hope is not lost!

This May playlist is largely serving the purpose of getting me, and hopefully all of you, ready for warm, sunlit and music-filled days ahead. It’s full of cheery songs meant to take you from the bright and crisp days of spring into the long and languid days of summer.

Music Mondays – Coachella Playlist Volume 1

April 4, 2016

There are just two weeks to go until weekend one of Coachella and I am so incredibly excited! To get me in the mood I have put together a playlist of my favorite songs from my favorite artists and have been listening to it on repeat. I’m sharing part one of my playlist today and will be sharing the second half of it next Monday. That way even if you aren’t going to make it to Coachella this year you can still enjoy the music and hopefully discover some new artists!

Music Mondays – March Playlist

March 14, 2016

This March playlist was my favorite to compile thus far. I can’t help but smile and be put in a good mood when I listen to it. It feels to me like it carries in it a bit of the hopeful and playful air of Spring that neither January or February’s playlists did.

Just as I did last month I had to include School of Seven Bells and Seinabo Sey…I love both of these songs too much not to share them! I think my ultimate favorite song of the playlist however is “Jealousy” from Robert DeLong. Though this was released in 2015, I did not hear much of it. In fact, I don’t believe I have ever even seen him perform it live during the couple of shows of his I have gone to! The song has a surprisingly poppy tone to and I’m kind of loving it.

This past week was incredibly busy and more than a little stressful for me and this playlist lifted my spirits on a daily basis and helped me through to the weekend. I hope it will do the same for you!
