Happy vernal equinox to all :^) Like many of the bulbs and seeds that have been quietly awaiting warming soil temperatures, I too have been laying down the roots for (hopefully!) future germination, soon. I certainly hope to be more attentive to (about?) this newsletter. But in the meantime, here's another 123-song megamix for your perusal.
I started building this out last fall, off the bones of a previous playlist I'd made called "The Last Snow of Winter," which I'd assembled while I was at MacDowell almost exactly a year ago. If my most recent RADIOLIO playlist was themed around "emotional annihilation," this one's themed around, hmm, let's call it "emotional snowmelt / haunted room tone."
Some particularly delicious moments:
Radiohead, "Daydreaming" -> Kelela, "Sorbet"
Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle, "Anhedonia" -> Mitski, "The Deal" -> Slowdive, "Chained to a Cloud"
Actress, "Memory Haze ( c 1 )" -> Amar Lal, "Only" -> Natural Wonder Beauty Concept, "Driving"
TSHA, "Time" -> Carly Rae Jepsen, "Put It To Rest" -> Tinashe, "Treason"
Doves, "Jetstream" -> The Mountain Goats, "Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise" -> Gigi Perez, "Sometimes (Backwood)"
Lightning Bug, "I Lie Awake" -> Heart, "Soul of the Sea" -> Hot Chip, "Clear Blue Skies" -> The Moody Blues, "The Night"
Taeko Ohnuki, "Sargasso Sea" -> Wand, "Blue Cloud"
Some newer featured players include Ali Sethi & Nic Jaar together and separately, James K, Jai Paul acolyte Fabiana Palladino, and Lightning Bug. Plenty of regulars too — I've listened to Lush over 300 times in the past three months 🤠

I listened to Kelela's Tiny Desk Concert while prepping seed cups in the hopes that her "subtle genius" (thx Lisa) vocals would help them grow. Given the overall germination rate, I think my plan worked :')
My good pals at Broccoli Mag are starting a music magazine called HEARTBEAT and they're looking for visual contributors. Check out their guidelines here; the deadline to submit is March 31st.
I'll be going to see Flora Yin-Wong at the Spire on March 28. Also featuring Gi Gi and DJ Tips.
I might write about this show for my friend Amar's new project, which, I don't trust Instagram embeds so here's his call to action: "Bay Area buds - starting a physical showpaper, coming soon to local spots near you! Inspired by NY's Gunk and Showpaper of yore, will be making these monthly listings of shows, music in rotation, possibly writing and more from friends. Send me your shows for the list for April, and if you know a spot that will host them for people to grab, holler. They are currently available at @edithspieoakland @tamarackoakland @1234gorecords and @coneshapetop with more to come! This month's beautiful art by @rilliken and next month's art could be by you??" Hit him up @ummm_r.
Megan Thee Stallion cosplaying two of the stoniest, coldest stunners (Bruno & Jolyne) in the considerable stone cold stunner showcase that is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ... that's all

Next playlist will come out in the summer, hopefully, and feature my versions of "jock jams." The first song added was Charli XCX's "Von dutch" but the current first track is Tamaki Nami's "Believe," which was the third opening of the anime Gundam SEED and probably my most-played running song. My hope is to thread the needle between "sweating at the club (night)" and "sweating at the club (gym)."
Thanks for "listening." Stay tuned...!
🎶 xoxo Lio
