A few months back a friend of mine was making a road trip to Tucson and asked for something to listen to. So I started tossing together a vaguely alt-country kinda mix (mostly coinciding with what I listened to when I lived in Arizona in the mid/late 90s). For the purpose of a long car ride I leaned toward more upbeat tracks - none of the sad/forlorn stuff. Then my wife told me to throw in more old country (like 50s-70s), and then from there I just started adding whatever fit this vibe. The result is a mix of 100+ songs that I never would have thought to put together but has turned out to be my go-to mix whenever I just need some good stuff on in the car or while I'm making dinner etc. It's not ordered - ideally shuffled.

Similarly, a friend requested a mix for her cross-country drive after her 16-year marriage ended, needed to go beyond her own library of songs that were now all associated with her marriage. So I made this:

Just my latest playlist of mellow atmospheres for background chilling, vibing etc - this one concentrates on a slightly hippyish, boho vibe with lots of acoustic guitar flourishes before moving into other dimensions. Enjoy. And if you want to hear any of the others, search "Club Stoic" in playlists on Spotify.

My semi-regular Heavy Solstice playlist of worldwide drear is extra burnt-out for this season of resignation. Built around three versions of Armenian composer Komitias' work "Apricot Tree", a melody that shadowed me all year. Hearts out to the inhabitants of the Karabakh region. The music of this part of the world plays an ever larger part of my listening as time goes on.

some late 70s and 80s r+b. kind of going for hiphop-adjacent and those sort of retro-familiar grooves. always opting for the extended mixes where available, because why else are we here? my friend andy humbly requests that you don't play it on shuffle (but you can if you want): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5FupAJPNkWsvm4Ah1QQSvS?si=0da01242513242d0

Something different: "Current Favorite Songs." Ranges from really recent pop stuff to rare grooves to everything in between. General focus is r+b, but not very strict by any means whatsoever. And Sade. Lots of Sade. Meant to be played on shuffle. Plan on updating it very frequently over the next week or so to fine tune it a bit more.

*melodramatic
tho maybe i meant to make up a new thing but said "melodtamatic" instead of "melodraumatic." y'know, like a portmanteau of the following words:
melancholydramaticmelodramatictraumatic
because idk that's how ny brain thinks sometimes. too much blue nile and long walks, i reckon.

Seeing as Angelo Badalamenti passed away, and I've been to see both Wild At Heart and the new Lynch/Oz documentary in the last week, I thought I'd tweak and re-post this playlist of very-much-Lynchian vibes.
For this one I was thinking about Lynch and also Andrew Weatherall, who in a strange way I feel as kindred spirits - maverick weirdos operating in a way so that they bubble just under the mainstream, willing to talk about but never fully reveal their craft. There's also an obsession with the "seedy underbelly", with rockabilly, with what's going on in the backstreets both physical and psychological.
So here again is 'S M O G', a soundtrack for a doomy, smoky, 3am Gothic-noir dub, jazz and electronic lounge

What are brownies? That's something they started making in the early '70s. All the rock got down / mid-tempo, a bit folky, a bit dusky, and all the album covers had to be sepia. There's much more than what's here, of course, but this is a place to start, and a place I like to go when my soul feels like leftover hash:
