Winter Indie Music Playlist 2017

Lately I'm being encouraged to back up these playlists on Spotify for those who listen in their cars and don't want to download or use memory in their phones. I'll try it out this week. Since I sift through thousands of songs a year with my harsh critical ear, my apprehension is that many of the songs will be too obscure and unavailable and I'll just get frustrated. Let's find out. If the experiment works, I'll probably be found under the handle BLANCONADA.

Here's the annual winter playlist, with the artists written out below. It was fun seeing the reappearance of former playlist faves Elbow and Charlatans UK, and to be able to include a relevant track from the new Robert Plant album. Can't believe how young he still sounds. Hope you enjoy.

Summer Indie Music Playlist 2017

I'm pleased to say I found enough happy and/or uptempo songs to complete my playlist before the actual start of summer. Usually I'm still scraping the barrel around August. I hope we're all finding more opportunities for joy and dancing in the face of adversity and negativity.

The track list is included below (in case YouTube deletes any of the videos). Here's to a beautiful fun-filled summer for you and those you love!
