Another summer, a new manuscript, a new playlist.

Everybody’s Talkin’: Harry Nilsson

Notes: This is what genius plus stage fright look like.

A Heart Like Mine: Dwight Yoakam

Notes: This is what sexy country magic looks like.

Braids: Lemonade



Notes: None. Just listen.

Hot Like Sauce: Pretty Lights

Hot Like Dimes: Pretty Lights

Notes: Term “woot woot” apparently invented to describe the “Hot Like” songs by Pretty Lights.

Someone to Love Me: Mary J. Blige

Notes: If you don’t love Mary J., you were born without ears.

It’s Like That: Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins

Notes: Don’t know what’s greatest about this: the music or the way the dancers all look like pure, fresh-faced possibility.

Time to Pretend: MGMT

Notes: Don’t do drugs even if druggie music is often excellent. Also, it’s probably best not to date models.

Call Me a Hole: NIN v Carly Rae Jepson
