All the Playlists

Diet Mountain Dew – Lana Del Rey

20 March 2018

With her debut album, Born To Die, Lana Del Rey became the woman of a thousand think pieces. Her apparent love for sex, booze and drugs offended critics across the spectrum. She garnered hate from people who didn’t think her overt display of these themes had a place in mainstream pop, as well as those who didn’t think she was pushing them far enough,..

Truro Road – Juan Maria Solare

20 March 2018

One of the most lovely themes I heard since I started this journey as a playlist curator. This could be the perfect soundtrack for a film, is delicate and in the same time plenty of emotions.

You Make Me Feel… – Cobra Starship

20 March 2018

2011 was a pretty good year for Cobra Starship considering that their song “You Make Me Feel…” feat. Sabi which also happens to be this week’s track was released in May of that same year and was certified 3x platinum in Australia, 2x platinum in Canada, Platinum in New Zealand and 2x platinum in the U.S…

Between the Bars – Elliott Smith

20 March 2018

There is no way that someone who grew up in the nineties wouldn’t know who Elliott Smith was–especially if you’ve seen the generation (and genre) defining film Good Will Hunting. The movie was nominated for many Academy Awards, including Best Song in a Motion Picture for ‘Miss Misery,’ a song by Smith. Between the Bars, though, is closer to my heart: used in a precious scene between Will (Matt Damon) and Skylar (Minnie Driver)…

Waves – Hemmit

20 March 2018

This week, we’re doing things a bit different. Because that’s what heroes do. They break the rules (but not the law, that’s more the realm of the villains and we aren’t interested in those sorts)…

I Want to Be Evil – Eartha Kitt

20 March 2018

A lot of humans dislike jellyfish.  They point out that many of us can sting you horribly – even fatally.  We sometimes swarm right near public beaches and force them to close for the day.  We’re alien and often grotesque in appearance, and so on…

Transatlantik – Canozan

20 March 2018

Canozan, being one of the unique sounds of Turkey, continues to amaze. He is highly influenced by Turkish folk while he is successfully blending it with electronic elements but refusing to be chained to a specific genre. What’s going inside his head, goes to his songs. He released 38 songs so far and is planning to release an album consisting of acoustic songs…

Dance Yrself Clean – LCD Soundsystem

20 March 2018

There’s something therapeutic about cranking up a favorite song and belting along behind the wheel–you know what I’m talking about–and this is just the song for that..

Enjoy The Silence – Depeche Mode

20 March 2018

This song, so beautiful that it has touched millions and so magical that it can shake your core on a special night, even after knowing it and loving it for many years.

On Friday I was lucky enough to go to the Depeche Mode concert here in Bogotá. It was a really unexpected thing, I really wasn’t sure I would be able to make it, the day had been really stressful and hard on me and I was feeling desperate and hopeless about so many things, important things, about the future in general and about my life and my family…

Living With Your Ailments – Kiran Leonard

20 March 2018

Kiran Leonard is only 22, but his music has a depth and a whimsy to it only rivaled by his unconventional structure. Also, in spite of his age he’s released A LOT of music, impressive for someone so young…

Out of Time – Blur

20 March 2018

Originalmente esta canción fue concebida como una forma de protesta contra la guerra del golfo. De ahí que su cielo, este surcado por punteos árabes en guitarra.

Pero además de ser un estandarte “Anti Top-Gun”, refleja otra instancia más sutil en su interior.

Esta canción habla fundamentalmente de la distracción…

To Do List – Jericho Jackson

20 March 2018

Jericho Jackson is a Detroit duo made up of producer Khrysis and rapper Elzhi. The two have had long careers individually and finally came together to release this collaboration this year. A friend hipped me to the group and I instantly connected with the music…
