Jane Asylum

I’ve set-off around the world a few times as a digital nomad. My favorite places are off-the-beaten-path spaces. I enjoy good food, although I’m a sucker for trying anything once. Discovering new music and artists is a passion, but I adore retro tracks and nostalgic songs. Whether fueled by imagination, or anchored in the real world, I live for adventure, especially when set to the beat of diverse and eclectic playlists.

Ready. Set. Join me on a sonic adventure!

Pink Lemonade – DADDY LONG LEGS

As companies and businesses shut down, streets empty, borders close, and wine storages deplete (yes, at least the Portuguese have their priorities straight; plus, you know, bidets) the last couple of weeks has been weird to say the least…

Where Have You Gone – The Pleasure Seekers

3 March 2020

Interview with Easy Comes Home

22 January 2020

Christian: I think the EP came simply because I had a decent amount of songs on my hard drive that I liked. I try to listen to a lot of different genres and I want my music to reflect my listening habits. I’ll really take from anything that inspires me, so my process usually leaves me with a wide variety of songs and styles. I would feel a bit like I’m betraying my style if I only released one song; that’s just not how I think, and it wouldn’t be an accurate depiction of who I am as a musician…

Love Rollercoaster – Ohio Players

21 January 2020

What do you get when you bury a high-pitched scream in a song using an amusement park ride as a metaphor for the thrill of sex? You get Ohio Players’ “Love Rollercoaster,” along with a shitload of urban legend…
