Marc's birthday is New Year's Eve, so we always throw a party. It's tradition at this point. And whatever we end up calling it every year - Cocktails & Countdowns, Tipsy & Toasty, Drinks & Dancing, or Wining & Dining - I love the way it's always a fun excuse to get dressed up and raise a glass to my favorite person.

DINE & WINE
To kick off the DINE & WINE playlist, Aretha sings it best: “I’m drinking again.”
This mix is smooth, a little sexy, and the perfect soundtrack to an evening soirée, dinner party, or late night cocktail. You can dress it up or dress it down, but I recommend at the very least dimming the lights.

BEACH, PLEASE
Currently seeking sunshine and summertime.
I started the BEACH, PLEASE playlist while on vacation in Vieques, Puerto Rico to capture the feeling of beach-hopping. It’s electronic with a more laid-back vibe, perfect for a day party spent in the sun and/or the sand. What can I say? Island life inspired me.

Lately, I’ve been finding myself needing to unwind on nights and weekends. Wine helps, but so does the right soundtrack. Something that’s a groovy mix of vintage and modern.

#TBT - OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL
This is a picture of my great uncle. I consider it visual proof that some of the coolest things today still come from the past.
I think this also applies to music. Sometimes, the best way to capture the right mood is to throw on some upbeat oldies.
And on that note, my OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL playlist is now up on the SOUNDTRACK page. It's some of my favorite early rock & roll music, mostly from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
