As a teenager, one of my favorite hobbies was creating mix CDs. Although I had no one to gift them to, I'd often burn them onto a blank CD and create album art for each one anyway. I was heavily inspired by the playlists posted by the writers of Rookiemag, Tumblr user thisishangingrockcomics, and the 8tracks community. Here are some I've made just for this site.

Each playlist has a Spotify link. Apologies to Apple Music snoozers users.

brain zaps on the hottest day on earth
35 tracks, 2hr 23min listen 2 playlist on spotify

A soundtrack for a deliriously dancing your way through the hottest day of the hottest year. You can't quite tell if you've forgotten to take your regular drugs, or if you're coming up on another one. Now that you think about it, you can't remember anything before the present moment. Either way, the blaring sunshine is cooking your brain inside your skull like a baked potato.
This is my favorite playlist I've made for this site. The tracks flow together so well, I highly recommend listening to it in order!

The Daybug

30 tracks, 2hr 02min listen 2 playlist on spotify

Somewhat inspired by one of my all-time favorite songs, "The Nightfly" by Donald Fagen (get it?????), this mix is intended to loosely simulate tuning in to a radio station. With a creative (imho) utilization of short album interludes as faux-stopsets/bumps, the playlist contains four 30-minute blocks of music. Don't worry, there are no drawn-out skits or "commercial breaks," because I pride myself on being a vibe curator, NOT killer.
For an optimal listening experience, you've gotta play this one in full and in order. Optional enhancement: toggle on a gapless crossfade @ 1 or 2sec, if you're looking to have a slighty more authentic radio vibe. Anyway, without further ado...

Good morning, Jeanland! I'm Alicia The Daybug, your number-one source for hits, bangers, and bops, here on WJEAN-FM 99.8...
