Play this one in order if you can — or else you'll really be in random world. After a number of requests from friends for "new music," here's twenty songs that helped ease the disconnection and isolation of Covid times. All over the map. Buckle up.
All in Playlist
D.A.T Funk
Sometimes danceable, always moody, some deep cuts from alternative night archives past and present
Look at My Laces
A tidy little playlist of new and old shoegaze that mostly lies outside of the regular canon you’re used to seeing associated with the subgenre.
Sunny Day Soul
An hour of sun-drenched optimistic soul, reggae, rare groove and more.
Revenge of the Nerds
Late 70s and Early 80s power pop, nerdcore, soundtrack pop and related ephemera. Influential whether you like it or not. Lots of studio wonkery and likely a decent amount of cocaine produced these sparkling rippers.
A Playlist Your Older Brother-in-Law Will Think is Just Okay
Something your 50ish brother-in-law can "rock out" to. You know, feels good man.
