Mixtape | September 2026

September had death on the brain, apparently. I didn't plan it, but "Death Drive," "The Price and the Cost," and "Death's Commuter Blues" all landed in the pool around the same time, and once Eliza Edens was the opener I

Mixtape | August 2026

Eventually Sure This one's uncertain from the jump, and that's on purpose. Started pulling songs I couldn't stop playing this month and realized most of them were sitting in that in between space, not sure yet, moving anyway. So I leaned into it. It

Mixtape | July 2026

Somewhere around the fourth or fifth pass through this month's pile I noticed half these songs are about money. Cheap beer, twenty dollar bills, imitation wood grain, diamond rings, a guy literally wandering around Home Depot trying to price out a life he doesn't have yet.

Mixtape | June 2026

Some months you know exactly what you're doing. This isn't one of those months. This one is more like okay, what am I actually doing, what do I actually want, what does any of this mean. Not in a crisis way. Just in a regular human

Mixtape | May 2026

May or May Not May is a weird month. The weather finally cooperates and instead of feeling relieved you just feel itchy. Like something's supposed to happen and it hasn't yet. Waiting on a thing you can't name. This mixtape lives in that feeling.

Mixtape | April 2026

The First Saturday There's a specific day that happens every April. You don't plan for it, it just shows up. You wake up and the window's already open and the air smells different and somewhere between the first cup of coffee and putting your

Mixtape | March 2026

Every month I try to make something that moves. Not a mood board. Not background noise. Something with a shape to it — a beginning that means something, a middle that earns your patience, and an ending that feels like it was always where we were headed. March came together around

Mixtape | February 2026

I absolutely overworked this one. There’s no grand concept, I just kept dragging songs up and down like I was trying to solve a puzzle that didn’t need solving. At some point I realized the only real rule was “does this feel good right here?” and that was

Mixtape | Indie Therapy Rock

The title came from a conversation. I was talking with a friend about “Problem Solver” – slimdan, and he described it as “indie therapy rock.” I immediately told him I was stealing that.  It was too good, and i've been circling the playlist for a week or two now.

Mixtape | January 2026

January wasn’t about a theme. It wasn’t about one sound. It was about how these songs felt next to each other. I kept rearranging it until it felt like a set. It opens with Cory Wong and Cody Fry’s “Better Than This” because that song just sounds

Mixtape | November 2025

November always sneaks up and slows things down. The light fades a little earlier, the days get colder, and suddenly you’re reaching for music that feels warm, comfortable, and a little reflective. This month’s playlist leans right into that. You’ll hear easy grooves from Toro y Moi,

Mixtape | September 2025

September rolls in with that familiar shift; summer fading, days growing shorter, and a little more coolness in the air. It’s the in-between month, where the warmth of August lingers but the pull of fall is already here. This mixtape leans into that transition: songs that carry the
