Classic Rock Playlist

With the end of summer means the start up of the drudgery of work days or school days. There are days when I am stressed out beyond belief and just in need of a good outlet, something that requires more than just calming music and soothing environment. That is exactly when I pull out this playlist and start belting my heart out. My favourite way to listen is to get on the road, go for a drive with the music up and the windows down. In this playlist you’ll find two straight hours of some of the best classic rock…

“In the Zone” Playlist

As we gear up to face the reality that summer weather, vacation and the blissful relaxation that is synonymous with it is coming to a close, I find myself looking forward to the opportunities that are yet to come in these following months. While seeing the days become shorter and the weather forecast beginning to dip in temperature can be disheartening, the end of a season and start of a new one brings about a sense of productivity. The air will become crisper, and with it our minds clearer, for either school or work to kick in to full gear…

Summer is the time to enjoy the gorgeous weather. And what better way to have fun with your summer activities than to accompany them with some music?

Today’s Spotify list is a carefully curated list of 40 songs: a combination of current summer hits, a few slightly older ones (like Robert Glasper and Yasiin Bey’s incredible collab…

Canada Day Playlist

Happy Canada Day to all our fellow Canadians! Today we decided to celebrate by curating a Spotify playlist made up of Canadian musicians. Some classics, some newer, some more obscure, some popular. Made up of 60 songs by various artists, it’s definitely a mishmash of genres, but I think that well represents the diverse “mosaic” nature of Canadians and our culture! Have a happy, safe, festive Canada Day! ~ Z ~ photo by Ali Tawfiq on Unsplash

Head in the Clouds Playlist

As promised, I have another playlist for you! This time filled with old-school, classic songs that were a big part of my childhood. For me, these are the kinds of songs I love to listen to while on a plane somewhere. I travel a lot and while the stress of airports, layovers and screaming children can be exhausting, I find that the time I get with a good playlist to zone out, let my mind aimlessly wander, or look out at the incredible scene of being in the clouds are some of my most relaxing. So if you’re headed onto…

Roadtrip Playlist

Over the weekend, I took a road trip with one of my friends from Montreal to New Hampshire. For anyone unfamiliar with their North American geography, that is a six-hour car ride, not including bathroom breaks. That is a long time to be stuck in a car for anyone. So, what do you do to make the time pass faster. If you’re with someone else, there’s always the option of books or magazines, but as someone who is prone to motion sickness I tend to avoid reading in cars. Instead, I prefer audiobooks. But as we all know, sometimes the…
