Pete Rodriguez is one dude that I could hang out with every week. But we don’t get to; cause we have busy lives. But he and I are collaborating on this monthly playlist called Some Pop, Some Not. I pick the music and he does the art. Which I gave him zero direction on and he freaking crushed it. 

This months playlist has a heavy “hipster” vibe to it (whatever that means) as I was curating a playlist for SUPPLY and their hipster yard sale. 

Hope you enjoy this relatively easy-listening playlist.

p.s. pete, if you’re reading this, let’s go get drinks sometime.

T.J. and I were talking business in early January while munching on one of Brooke’s legendary snack trays when I said “I really want to do a bridal show someday.” T.J. pulled out his phone and said, “How about February 24th? I’m available.” 

Six weeks later on February 24th, twenty-three vendors gathered at SUPPLY to host a unique and beautiful wedding show. Sean from Bring On The Bash mixed live, Penny’s Icecream handed out delicious cones and Stray Lights had the coolest booth of all time.

It was a pleasure to plan and host my own wedding show along with my brother-in-law T.J. Thank you to everyone that took part in the event and to all that came. We look forward to doing it again next year!

An hour long mixing sampling what Taylor does and has played at weddings!

October was a busy month for me and I forgot to post the playlist. To save time during the busy season, I smushed October & November together. Here is the most eclectic playlist yet. Enjoy! This playlist is NSFW.

Young Dumb & Broke is every high schoolers quiet anthem and its easy to think back to those days and remember “the struggle” which now seems so simple. “Punk Rock Girl” by The Dead Milkmen is a song I’ve known for sometime but never knew it was them! Henry Jamison is an artist that I discovered this month. He is a mix of Iron & Wine and Ryan Lewis. Folk music but with the bass lines and drums normally reserved for hip hop. “Blood On The Leaves” is one of my favorite Kanye West songs. “For No One” by The Beatles is also one of my favorite songs. I saw a documentary this month on the production of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and it was during watch the show that I was reminded of this song.

Mixed a fun and chill set at Mad Chef in East Petersburg on August 24th. The session was about three hours and here is the whole thing. I’ve recently started mixing on vinyl and its taking some getting use to. The set is full of mistakes. Oh well, here it is for posterities sake.

On August 24th, I will be mixing live at Mad Chef from 7p-10p! Keep watching to see a sneak peek of my set or if they event has already passed catch a glimpse of what I did. 😛

By accident, this is the most cohesive monthly playlist that I’ve created to date. It’s pretty darn chill. First off we have what may be my favorite Talking Heads song, “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody). Something about that track makes me long for home. “Starlight” is a song I stumbled upon by chance and I’m so glad I did. My most listened to song this month was likely “Mexico” by James Taylor. The lyrics really crack me up! Lastly, if you make it this far into the playlist, “Peace Piece” by Bill Evans (my favorite jazz musician, btw) is perfect. For me, jazz, specifically Bill Evans, and rainy weather go hand in hand. I listen to him play and it takes me back to my childhood bedroom, sitting on the bed and playing Animal Crossing on the Gamecube with my Mom. I loved those days and still miss them.

Kicking off this month’s playlist is one of my favorite songs by The Police! I LOVE the baseline to “Spirits In The Material World.”  I can never have enough of David Bowie and I rediscovered “Fame” this last month. “Shawty Is Da Sh*!” was in a mix by Four Color Zack that Kelsey and I were listening to. Kelsey knew all of the words. “Yeah Right” by Vince Staples is my hip hop song of the month. I don’t know much about him but when I first heard the song I knew that the beat was produced by Flume or Cloud 9. It was Flume. Then the surprise verse from Kendrick Lamar. “Yeah Right” is like a hip hop dream for me…. albeit Vince Staples. I hope you enjoy the majority of oldies that the playlist is composed of this month! Let me know which song is your favorite and be sure to follow me on Spotify to creep on what I’m listening to everyday.

Dylan and Michael’s wedding was a truly unique experience that I got to be a part of. Dylan’s mother owns a magnificent property overlooking the Susquehanna. The view painted a beautiful backdrop for the day. And the dance party was just as cool as the couple. Outside, underneath lights and on top of oriental rugs. You’ve gotta have guts to pull that off and they did it with ease and late into the night! Luckily the beauty and hype was caught by two fantastic and down-right cool photographers known as: Earthmark Photography. Click right here to see their blog!
