We’re halfway through 2016, so now’s as good of a time as any to take a moment for reflection before we march onward through the rest of the year. It’s been a wild six months, filled with surprise and high profile releases from some of music’s most prolific artists, not to mention quite a few underground successes as well. There’s probably no way you’ve heard all the great stuff, which is why I wanted to share this Spotify playlist filled with all of my favorites. If it seems like 69 songs is an intentional joke, I can assure you the number is 100% arbitrary. There’s nothing particularly official about this, nor are there rankings, simply a collection of tracks released between January and the end of June that you should probably spend some time with. They’re ordered in a way that I think flows best, in an effort to optimize listenability. It’s worth noting that this also makes a great playlist for your summer BBQ, as it’s packed to the gills with uptempo brilliance. Please enjoy and share!
Month: July 2016
We’re back in business after an extended holiday weekend. If you’re American, I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July. Mine was spent watching fireworks on TV with a bowl of ice cream. Delicious, and perfectly relaxing. One quick thing to note, while I’ve got you here – in honor of Faronheit’s 10th anniversary, the site has been redesigned! It still doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but I think this new look is a lot cleaner and more modern. It’s been maybe five or six years since things have been overhauled to this magnitude, so this was long overdue. Hope you enjoy it! Also hope you enjoy today’s Pick Your Poison, which features some great downloads from Giorgio Moroser, The Holy, Lennart Richter and Sticky Fingers. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Carl Broemel, The Chills, Joe Budden, Me2 (ft. Kid Sister), Motel Radio, Supa Bwe (ft. Chance the Rapper), Tim Presley, Tink, Towkio and more!
