Queen B does it again - I’ve put this whole album on your computer (yes I downloaded iTunes for you) because it is straight fire.Ī new artist to me and to the world in general I think - it seems like she’s about to blow up, which is totally earned. We should try to see it when it comes here on tour but I wanted to start the playlist with this song because if there’s anything I’m known for it’s my ability to make self-aware jokes about the grimness of my situation. Okay, you may live under a rock when it comes to pop culture, but I’m sure you’ve heard of Hamilton. You can’t just listen to Radiohead and The Beach Boys on repeat forever. (don't worry, I got you an actual Christmas present, this is just a bonus). You need to know what’s going on in the zeitgeist, Joanie. You and I are both going to start listening to music that’s been released since 2011 (spoiler alert: pop music got gooooood). It’s been a big undertaking and I’m making this a family project now. Sam and the boys have tried to get me up to speed on all things pop culture but there’s just so much. Just so you don’t think I’ve been sitting at home watching Netflix all day, I’ve also been catching up on the last five years of music. You don’t have Spotify or anything (it’s this new streaming service that I don’t understand). Which I appreciate of course, because, you know, here I am, but based on your CD collection (CDs Joan!!! CDs!!! What are you doing!?!? iTunes has existed for nearly 20 years), you haven’t been buying new music. Joanie - I know you and I know you’ve probably spent the past five years working your ass off and doing nothing else. I wanted to end this mix with a track that would fill you with light.

But this song just really makes me feel uplifted and full of light. "Om Nashi Me" - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Again, post-college. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole This might be my favorite song of all time. "Places" - Ours Great to sing along to when you’re feeling melodramatic.ġ6. "My Drug Buddy" - The Lemonheads Sadly beautiful. It never feels dated and everyone knows it.ġ4. "Say It Ain't So" - Weezer One of my favorite songs to karaoke. "Time is Running Out" - Muse A rock song that makes you want to dance. But I really wanted to put Frightened Rabbit on your mix. "The Wrestle" - Frightened Rabbit OK, this song came out after college. "Waltz #2 (XO)" - Elliott Smith This might be the song that got me into indie rock in the first place.ġ1. "The Leaving Song" - A.F.I. Something about these lyrics is empowering.ġ0. Didn’t fall in love with it until I had heard it many times.ĩ. "Skinny Love" - Bon Iver Didn’t hear this ‘til grad school. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" - The Postal Service My favorite track from what might be the best album of the 2000s.Ĩ. "Paper Tiger" - Spoon Makes me feel cool when I’m driving and singing along.ħ. "Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl" - Broken Social Scene Sitting alone and meditating song. "Girl/Boy Song" - Aphex Twin Like Mozart for the electronica age.ĥ. "Rebellion (Lies)" - Arcade Fire I could listen to this song on repeat forever and it would never get old.Ĥ. First heard it riding in the back of a pick-up truck with friends in high school. You probably remember me playing it a lot when I was in high school.Ģ.
"Where is My Mind" - The Pixies A classic, no-brainer for any alternative rock list.
