00_MONTHLY PLAYLISTS

At the beginning of each month I create a new playlist on Spotify, add a variety of my recent favorite tunes to the list, and continue to add to that list until the very last day of the month.

See all Monthly Playlists

Each playlist typically rounds out to around 50-70 songs, including indie, pop, jazz, electronic, rock, soul, R&B, and everything in between (except screamo or hardcore dubstep…sorry). Every playlist includes a custom album cover with a random photograph from my camera roll, occasionally paired with whatever jumbled thoughts I am thinking at the time.

I remember when Spotify first became a thing, my friend Ryan told everyone about it. We were in high school and I thought he was a bit of an idiot. At first I stuck to jurassic technologies like the radio and apps like Pandora and 8Tracks, but eventually I followed suit and began creating monthly Spotify playlists a few years later, giving birth to the first one in 2016—playlist “001”.

If my calculations are correct, and I live another 80+ years, we’ll be able to see playlist “999”.


 

PARTY: PLAYLISTS

Playlists for parties, probably best for anyone considered a young adult and above (though I hear 15 year olds these days are going harder than their college counterparts).

See all Party Playlists

There are multiple playlists in this specific series—some fit for family holidays or grandma’s next birthday party, to loosen up your parents, aunts, and uncles a bit, some fit for casually drinking by the pool, and some fit for making memories you may or may not recount (or wish to remember) later.

Favorites

For starting the buzz ⇢ Party: Chill or Get Hyphy?

For a random house party ⇢ Party: Vibes

For bringing the younger selves out of your aunts, & uncles ⇢ Party: Groove

 

ANYTHING ★ PLAYLISTS

Any playlist with a “★” in its name means that, in my opinion, the collection of songs is fit for a variety of situations. These are all ongoing & continuously updated as well.

See all Anything Playlists

This playlist series includes one of my all time favorite playlists, “For Friends, For Trolls”, the playlist that includes any song that I find compelling—also the playlist that I naturally force all of my dear friends to listen to.
