Listen to last week’s episode: The World’s Greatest Hits
Happy New Year everyone!
As promised in last week’s episode, I’ve made two playlists for New Year’s Eve. These are great for New Year’s Eve, obviously, but I honestly use them for any party that needs a little glitz.
Playlist #1 includes the Top Ten from the last episode, plus three extra hours of “the vibe.” So nearly four hours of glitzy, nostalgic, celebration kind of music — all horns and strings and passion. Stuff we mostly know and love, but maybe forgot how fun it actually is to listen to.
While I was listening to it just now, my 13-year-old walked through the room and said, “This is a good New Year’s playlist, Dad.”
I’m sure she was just buttering me up before asking for more screen time—but I took the compliment.
Playlist #2 is for a dance party. 1 hr 20 min.
When I find myself on a dance floor—which is rare these days—this is the music I want. I find that this stuff makes people very happy. It makes the dancing feel dumb, fun, and romantic. Perfect for New Year’s Eve, but just as good for any dance party, anytime.
Both subscriber-only playlists are below on Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. Both are in the Playlist Archive now also.
Have fun, everyone.
Happy New Year—and thanks for being part of this thing I’m doing.
