One of the things that I’ve missed during my unemployment is listening to music. All the music I downloaded was listened on my way to and during work. You’d think being unemployed would give me more time to listen to music but it never seems to work out that way. Between television, books, comic books and podcasts, music seems to get lost in the shuffle.
Since it seems like every is using Spotify, this seems like a perfect way to continue my Mixtapes For No One. Here’s a quick mix of songs I’ve been enjoying from this year and albums I’m looking forward this spring/summer. Hopefully, this will give me a reason to stay up on what’s good and what’s coming out:
- “The Only Place” by Best Coast
- “Lazuli” by Beach House
- “Happy Pills” by Norah Jones
- “Heavy Metal” by White Rabbits
- “Need Your Love” by The Temper Trap
- “Comeback Kid” by Sleigh Bells
- “Perfect World” by Gossip
- “Simple Song” by The Shins
- “Afro Blue” by The Robert Glasper Experiment (featuring Erykah Badu)
- “Look Around The Corner” by Quantic & Alice Russell
- “Gun Has No Trigger” by Dirty Projectors
- “Spiteful Intervention” by Of Montreal
- “Breath of Life” by Florence + The Machine
- “Youth Without Youth” by Metric
- “Disparate Youth” by Santigold
- “Every Single Night” by Fiona Apple
- “Take A Walk” by Passion Pit
- “Climax” by Usher

(Sorry if you’re not using Spotify yet. Just assimilate. Resistance is futile.)
