March was an interesting month for songs because I did two trips (there and back) with two driving days (one day for 9.5 hours and one day for about 4). This means that I had WAY too many songs for my typical Top 12 Playlist – I listened to “All Songs Considered” as well as “Sound Opinions” episodes and I had about 5 for each podcast to catch up on!
I decided to do the first 12 songs that I had in my notes for the March list as the regular Top 12, and then create a playlist called Drive in March 2020 with the other 25 songs ๐ They are all in the music sidebar to listen to, but I want to post a video for some of the songs that have become favorites and often on repeat.
These three videos are from my all-time favorite bands: The Decemberists, Overcoats, and Margaret Glaspy. Margaret and Overcoats released new records earlier in March, and I have been watching Colin Meloy on livestream during quarantine.
These next ones are from the Driving list: “A night like this” by Caro Emerald is from my zumba class that has now become livestream and the instructor told me the name of the song in March; “Animal in Man” by Dead Prez is a very cool song about the book Animal Farm from a Sound Opinions episode; “You know you’re right” by Nirvana is also from a Sound Opinions episode and it is an instant replay for me once it ends ๐ฎ
Please listen to the rest of the playlists while you are working from home, relaxing, cleaning or whatever! It is hard for me to only showcase a few of them ha – music is always gret for my mood whether to de-stress, dance, reflect or simply sign-along ๐
I love Caro Emerald and that whole electro-swing/jazz genre of music.
Most house/electronic dance music hits right in my wheelhouse, but I also love the jazz/swing music too, so it just makes me toe-tap when this comes up on my rotation.
Thanks for sharing your list! Some artists to check out over the following month! ๐
