One Night – Hedband & Thorisson

7 November 2018

This song is big hair and legwarmers, bright colors and bold patterns, a taste of the 80’s that is electric and undeniable. This is the hottest themed bar in the city, the DJ playing nothing but retro throwback hits…

Wonder – Just Shad

30 October 2018

This song is purple and blue, deep mysterious colors. This song is bruised up knees, dirty sneakers, a box of cigarettes. This song is your friend who races red lights in his beat up honda civic, dizziness, confusion, confliction, and comfort…

Long Hair – Moontower

16 October 2018

We return to the golden hour this week, a fitting track to come home to. This song is the sun just below the mountains, a shirt that reflects in the warm light. This song is black boots and skinny jeans, growing your hair long and walking down Hollywood Blvd with your headphones in…

Burning Summer- Wyndsrfr

12 September 2018

This song is your college bedroom, midterms creeping up on you, sweat on your forehead and an ache in your shoulders. This song is the rumble in your stomach when you remember you’ve been so busy working you forgot a meal or two…

Before U I Didn’t Exist – FRND

5 September 2018

This song is the touch of someone comforting, the softness of held hands, taking off and running together with reckless abandon. This song is forgetting about everything before that person, letting go of the things that hurt you for the experience right in front of you…

Mama Say (Scavenger Hunt Remix) – Betty Who

21 August 2018

This song is an open window, scaling the roof to get down to your boyfriend’s idle car, where he’s waiting to take you out. Your mom said, firmly, no. But are you going to let that stop you?…

Dollar Bill – Phoebe Ryan

14 August 2018

This song is a fat paycheck, the ability to spend money with absolutely no consequence. This song is a Porsche on Rodeo drive, a sparkling chandelier. This song is a dress with real diamonds on it, imported silks, bottle service every night of the week….

Fever – Lenno

31 July 2018

This week is all about dancing. This song is a light up dance floor, the gentle brush of people moving around you, the way your hair sticks to the back of your neck. This song is about finding the closest thing to heaven, the way a song can touch humans of all walks of life to move…

I Won’t Let You Walk Away – Mako feat. Madison Beer

24 July 2018

If you want to feel what this song is about, you need only listen to the lyrics. Madison sings, in her sweet pop voice, “I got my windows down, getting lost in the breeze, and I feel like I’m causing a fairytale… 

Bad Behavior – The Motion Epic

17 July 2018

The song is a pool at night, the way the lights in the water make the surface look like neon, glowing invitingly. This song is your friends hopping over the fence and sitting on the vinyl beach chairs. This song is the cheap beer you snuck in, and the way the sky looked huge overhead as it spins in your dizzy eyes…

Hot Summer – Heffron Drive

10 July 2018

This song plays in the background of your beach fantasy. This song is the bright red of a lifeguard swimsuit, the smell of coconut lotion and sunscreen, the tingle of a cold drink in your hand. This song is watching the lifeguard’s hips sway side to side, thinking about getting close to them…

Perfume – Natalie Shay

2 July 2018

This song is walking through your high school, holding your books close to your chest. This song is a million prom posters meeting you. This song is checking to make sure your shoes are tied, tapping your pencil in biology. This song is hearing your friends talk all day about who they want to ask them to prom. This song is the fleeting and quiet glances from the girl across the room. Pastel purple, blushing pink…
