Slow Dancing in the Dark – Joji

20 November 2018

In the music video for “Slow Dancing in the Dark”, Joji (born George Miller) stumbles around as a half-human, half-goat creature shot in the back by cupid’s arrow, until his legs become too weak, and he face plants on a group of white tiles, waiting to bleed out. Since its release in September, the video as amassed 30 million views…

Can’t Be Seen – The Rolling Stones

20 November 2018

Well, office Christmas parties are just round the corner, which means that it’s a good week to talk about affairs. Yes, I know – Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho! But wait, it gets worse. Believe it or not, over here in Scandinavia some employers even send their employees on a two-day Christmas cruise – as if one night wouldn’t be enough to stray from the straight and narrow!..

Same Old Eyes – Savannah Conley

20 November 2018

Have you ever wanted to be able to see something with someone else’s eyes? Because you’re the only one who sees people the way you see, and you’ll probably never know what people see when they look at you…

Friday Morning – Khruangbin

20 November 2018

I have the best job in the world! 😉 Not only do I get to curate two amazing lists – this essay writing list and Music to Grieve to, but if you didn’t know – I get to listen to every track published on musicto.com each week. Yes – it’s a tough gig – listening to sometimes over 30 hand selected tracks and reading their accompanying write ups…

Friday Morning – Khruangbin

20 November 2018

Be prepared to take a deep dive into your wild ocean of feelings while listening to Khruangbin. I had the glorious pleasure of recently witnessing the live performance of these three funky gurus creating pure sunlit sounds…

My Own Private I Don’t Know – Fascinator

20 November 2018

We jellyfish don’t know anything.  You might think we’d be confused by this, but in fact the opposite is true.  There’s great certainty in total emptiness.  We’re never torn by indecision.  We never have to worry about what’s right and what’s wrong.  We can just go with the flow and let the waves wash over us…

Oceans – Small Talks

20 November 2018

I’ve been following Small Talks for almost a year now, and was stoked to finally see them live this past week at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, opening for both the incredible Broadside & With Confidence…

Who Needs You – Loren Nine

15 November 2018

I remember the first time I heard Eva Cassidy. I know exactly where I was when I discovered Norah Jones, the road I was driving down when Melody Gardot commanded I pull over, and listen in hushed reverence…

Anna – Antje Duvekot

15 November 2018

You can keep your Beethovens, Bachs, and Bruckners, all your Bob Dylans, Bruce Springsteens, and  Billie Hallidays, cos when I go to my desert island this is the song I’m going with! 

My Great Gig In The Sky will begin with this tune…

Same Old Song (S.O.S. Part 1) – Two Feet

Another track ready to be played on your favorite moment of the day. A smoothy bluesy guitar dance on a slow trap beat, while the voice is always super warm and sexy…

Dissolve – Kllo

14 November 2018

This track is one of the perfect representation of what my playlist will look like: dreamy, deep, danceable, melodic. The perfect track for lots of moments during your everyday life…

Bad Ritual – Timber Timbre

14 November 2018

The opening track from the 2011 “Creep On Creepin’ On”, “Bad Ritual” speaks to the lasting pain caused by infidelity, of a love now lost. Traversing past memories and finding pleasure in the small, yet constant reminders of the now that trigger memories of that relationship…
