Ryan’s Music Picks 🎄 20 December 2016
There are 3 or 4 different kinds of Christmas songs, really. There are songs about Santa coming to town, songs about how it’s cold and romance is in the air, songs about the fact that it is winter, and songs about baby Jesus being born. I tend to gravitate to types 3 and 4, but…

Ryan’s Music Picks 🌲 8 December 2016
Quick update for the rest of the year: after this, sometime in the next week or so-ish, I’ll do a roundup of Christmas music. It might be an extra long one, because I have feelings about Christmas music. If you’re curious to see, you can click here for 3 pages to links to Christmas music…

Ryan’s Music Picks 23 November 2016
It’s been a bit. I’m sure you’re getting lots of emails about black friday deals, but I though you might want some good driving music. I took (am taking?) a break from Twitter and did some stuff with my family. This week we drove up to the Sierras for a family camp, and then took…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 7 November 2016
It’s election week this week, and I am stressed. I’m not going to bring politics into this email list, but if you’re curious, you can take a look at my twitter. So, with stress comes plenty of beautiful, mostly instrumental music for me. Check it out: Delicate Steve – Positive Force (Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify)…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 👻 Halloween 2🎃16 Edition
I made a mixtape! I didn’t expect it to happen after I realized that Traktor for iPad and Apple Music tracks didn’t play well together. But I figured it out. So here it is: Moon Cities – Silent Sandy Circuitry (Podcast, Soundcloud, Mixcloud) This is kind of a fall mixtape and kind of a Halloween thing, so beware…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 24 October 2016
Halloween’s approaching. I think I’m working on a mix. In fact, don’t be surprised if a lot of stuff you’ve heard here pops into that mix, if I’m able to pull it together in time. Other than that, I’m reveling in the earlier sunsets and the little bits of rain we’re having in So Cal.…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 12 October 2016
I love the fall. We barely get any in So Cal, but even October demonstrates slight changes from the usual 100% sun situation we have. Specifically, the evenings begin to cool down, the leaves start getting crunchy, and the spiders come out. Seriously, we get lots of dang spiders in the trees, but the evenings…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 30 September 2016
It’s a short one this week. I switched from Spotify over to Apple Music and have been working on syncing my library and uploading the stuff that Apple Music lacks (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke’s Rubicon should never leave my phone) but it’s pretty sweet. Here’s some stuff I’ve stumbled upon this week. Master Boot…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 23 September 2016
This last weekend was my ten-year anniversary with my wife. We took a weekend off, then came home to a bout of nasty stomach flu that rotated to each member of the family. I’m still recovering. So the picks this week are a combination of two very different themes: disco for our fun weekend escape and…

Ryan’s Music Picks: 14 September 2016
I haven’t written in a couple of weeks. Life’s been getting in the way, but music that I want to talk about keeps piling up. I need to get some of this out of my system, so here’s a bunch of stuff that’s come across my plate lately: clipping. – Splendor & Misery (Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify) This is…
