How is it December???
Loved seeing the #DecemberChill #MusicalMatters playlists and #Chill photos 😍Thanks to everyone who shared -
Don‘t forget our big ( maybe not so big) discussion of #DrZ is today on @BarbaraBB page 2pmEST, 7pmGMT , 8pmCET
Plus we‘ll announce our next theme read 🤗
This week I need to reread A Children‘s Bible for bookclub ( I‘m not enjoying it at all on the retake) and I‘m focusing on my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin & #ToB 🐓

BarbaraBB Children‘s Bible is not a book I‘d want to reread. Looking forward to your thoughts on the #ToB22 reads. The Trees is brutal but I loved it. How are @TrishB and you doing on the Lamb? 2y
Cinfhen I think Children‘s Bible will make for good discussion @BarbaraBB and it‘s short, so it‘s not too terrible. I‘m LOVING the Lamb but it‘s super long, with wayyyyy too many sub storylines and certain parts feel dated. The good news is both @TrishB and I haven‘t bailed, yet!!! 2y
Megabooks I don‘t think I would‘ve liked children‘s Bible as much if had read it in print. The audiobook was quite enjoyable. 2y

Cinfhen Yeah, Xe Sands is a great narrator @Megabooks 🙌🏻‼️ 2y
TrishB I have to admit I‘m tempted today!! As I can‘t wait to read something else, this is one of those times were reading other things is probably a good idea. I‘m 52% in and would really like to finish today but can‘t see it.🤞🏻 2y
Cinfhen Oh no!!! Don‘t hang on for me @TrishB xx I can answer all your questions when I‘m done. I think I **may** finish today 🤞🏽 2y
TrishB I‘m pushing through! You know I‘d bail if I really wanted to! 😁 2y

#DecemberChill #MusicalMatters
My favorite playlist when I'm looking for something chill has a mix of soul, jazz, and hip hop. It's a list of full albums, which doesn't lend itself to screenshots, so I created a version with one song from each of the 38 artists: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3goqyM1XPG1ldD1YKqRI22?si=3qeR4VBtTMuTPZYBGKep...

Billypar Here's the full 34 hour version with full albums for anyone so inclined: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/39STukh10nz1Ljmx17SENc?si=gfju3Db4Q1-sutJwXtBa... 2y
vivastory Excellent playlist. Added to my library. I've met two of the artists on your list 2y
Billypar @vivastory That's awesome, which two? 2y

vivastory I met Tricky as he was walking in between stages at Lollapalooza '97. I remember saying something about how much I liked his music & enjoyed his set. We only talked for a couple of minutes, but he was really laid back. I also met The Roots when they opened for Beck, also in '97. My friends and I arrived to the performance center early and as we were looking for somewhere to eat dinner we happened to drive by their tour bus & they were outside. 2y
Billypar @vivastory That's so cool! Tricky does seem like he'd be laid back. And I've listened to so many episodes of Questlove's podcast that I feel like we're friends 😅 2y
BarbaraBB Such a chill list! I‘m definitely adding in to my library! And how cool about Tricky, Scott (and going to Lolapalooza for that matter)! I listened a lot to his album Blowback since RHCP played along on some songs. @vivastory 2y
vivastory @BarbaraBB I haven't listened to Blowback. I'll definitely check it out! 2y
Cinfhen Excellent list and 34 additional hours sounds amazing 🤩 so cool @vivastory that you got to chat with The Roots & Tricky. I‘ve met Matisyahu twice!!! Does that count for anything??? 😂😂 2y
Billypar @BarbaraBB I don't think I've listened to Blowback either - I feel like I would have remembered RHCP. Such an interesting collaboration! 2y
Billypar @Cinfhen I don't know Matisyahu's music, but he's got 1,432,482 monthly listeners on Spotify, so I'd say that qualifies as a cool celebrity encounter 😎 2y

I started making a #DecemberChill playlist but then I remembered New Found Glory‘s new Christmas album just came out today and it‘s perfection 👌 Also Spotify rudely removed the 1998 Tooth and Nail Happy Christmas compilation so I couldn‘t add one of my favorites which is Five Iron Frenzy‘s cover of You Gotta Get Up by Rich Mullins. #MusicalMatters

Cinfhen I‘m excited to listen to this playlist 🎵even though I‘m Jewish, I enjoy Christmas music…..but not in October #petpeeve 😉💚♥️💚 2y

I confess, I read 50 pages of Dr. Zhivago and went back to my annual holiday fluff TBR. Self preservation. 😂 #decemberchill #musicalmatters #buddyread @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB
P.S. I‘m more of a rocker but some of the above is nice during a bubble bath.

KarenUK Me too! 🤦‍♀️☺️ 2y
Hooked_on_books You‘ve done better than me—I haven‘t even cracked it! 😂 2y

squirrelbrain Me neither @Hooked_on_books - not after everyone else‘s thoughts! @KarenUK @peaknit 2y
peaKnit @squirrelbrain Yes! 🎉 2y
Cinfhen Hehehe - at least you gave it a go😉 Duran Duran will always find it‘s way into my heart, especially Come Undone!! Excellent choice 👊🏽💚 2y
Cinfhen Ohhh & I do love that Macy Gray tune. I love that gravely voice 2y
Centique Oh I love Wicked Game so much 💕 2y

#decemberchill #musicalmatters Sharing my winter chill list (even though I‘m having a pool day by the intercoastal today!😎)
Always a bit eclectic, sharing the Spotify link below 🎶🎵🎹🎤💕📚❄️

Suet624 Saved! 2y
TheKidUpstairs ❤❤❤ that Colin Hay song is so beautifully melancholy. I love it! 2y
KarenUK @TheKidUpstairs I know! Never tire of it 💕🎶 2y

BarbaraBB That is a really nice list. I saved it too. 🤍 2y
peaKnit You‘re day sounds infinitely more spectacular than mine in dreary Midwestern US 😂 2y
Billypar You and @Cinfhen are convincing me that I really need to listen to more Bill Withers. I feel like he's got all these great songs I recognize but never knew who the artist was 🙂 2y
Cinfhen You win for the ultimate chill day & playlist combo!!! All types of FABULOUS here!!!! I‘ll be saving this one, too @BarbaraBB @Suet624 2y
Cinfhen Bill Withers is all about chill vibes @Billypar 🥰 2y
KarenUK @cinfhen 😘😘😘 2y

#decemberchill #musicalmatters @cinfhen @barbarabb
Now is as good of a time as any to post my best of the year list that I have been compiling throughout the year. As much as I like Lana Del Rey, despite what Spotify's wrapped says there was one artist who typified 2021 for me & that was Queen Sharon Van Etten.👑 Listen here, if you want:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2KKQntnk2zUgndqZMlOmhh

TrishB Great choices 👍🏻 2y
Michael_Gee I saw Japanese Breakfast when they came to STL! It was a great show. 2y
vivastory @Michael_Gee I can imagine! They were here a couple of months ago & I would have def went, but am currently avoiding crowds 2y

Suet624 Love your list. 2y
vivastory @Suet624 Thanks! A lot of them were songs I discovered thanks to my member supported radio station 🤘 2y
BarbaraBB Awesome list. Saved it for the right moment! 🤍 2y
vivastory @BarbaraBB Thanks! I loved your list, too 🎶 2y
Suet624 I‘m kind of embarrassed to admit that most of my list is male groups. 2y
Billypar Obviously I haven't been paying as close attention to the music world in 2021 - no idea that Lake Street Dive, Cat Power, and (most surprisingly) Tears for Fears all released new music. The three songs you included are really good too. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the list! 2y
vivastory @Billypar Cat Power is releasing an album of cover songs in about a month. I can already tell it's going to be my first favorite album of '22 2y
Cinfhen Thanks for sharing!!! I had a good laugh when “Sowing the Seeds of Love” made my 2021 Spotify wrapped list @Billypar 2y
Cinfhen I don‘t think I listened/ discovered a single new song all year 2y
Billypar @Cinfhen And that still somehow sounds more plausible to me than: "the new Tears for Fears album". But here we are ? 2y
Cinfhen Hahaha 🤣 that‘s 2021 for you @Billypar 2y

I‘m going with my yearly round up. I think the first time Numan hasn‘t been number 1 😱
But 3 in top 8 😁
Number one is courtesy of @vivastory who asked if I‘d listened to this, at the time I hadn‘t but obviously have non stop since.
#decemberchill #musicalmatters

vivastory I heard it on the radio for the first time in about a month last week and it made me very happy🎶 2y
DGRachel You had me at Robert Smith. 😍 2y
vivastory @DGRachel It's on my (admittedly very long) best of the year list as well 2y
See All 14 Comments
DGRachel @vivastory @TrishB I‘m going to have to grab my headphones and pull up The Cure albums from my iTunes library. No further audiobook listening will be done today. 😂 2y
vivastory @DGRachel Enjoy! 🎶 It's a good way to kick off the weekend 2y
BarbaraBB Robert Smith? I‘m very intrigued and off to Spotify now! 2y
Flaneurette Wait? What? Robert Smith? Checking this out immediately! 2y
quietlycuriouskate I've started listening to Gary Numan because of you, Trish! 🙂 2y
Billypar Chvrches amaze me at how they can keep coming up with these over the top hits. And collaborating with Robert Smith is such a great pairing. 2y
Billypar Also, I found this track on the long version of my playlist when I was going through out today - not sure if you'll love it or hate it: https://open.spotify.com/track/70p7tgRp2XJEWch2fPiMtM?si=vohsvgYPT_GnlM2dIoJT4Q&... 2y
TrishB @kathedron music to my ears 😁😁 that‘s so cool. 2y
TrishB @Billypar thanks - will have a listen as soon as I find my head phones 👍🏻 2y
TrishB @Billypar I actually liked that. I generally prefer covers when they don‘t try to sing like him! 2y
Billypar @TrishB I'm the same way with covers - better when it's a new take on the original than a pale imitation. 2y

Hooked_on_books I‘m going to guess it‘s Lovely Day 2y
Cinfhen Nope @Hooked_on_books but it‘s in my Top 10 🎵💕 2y
jenniferw88 Easy on me? 2y
wanderinglynn That‘s a tough one because this is a great playlist. But I‘ll guess Say Something because JT. 2y
MatchlessMarie Gonna go with Bittersweet Symphony. Great pick for December 💙 2y
erzascarletbookgasm Nobody‘s Love? 2y
Chrissyreadit Lovely Day? 2y
mjdowens Lovely Day 2y
TheKidUpstairs My guess is Bittersweet Symphony. Great playlist! 2y
Librarybelle I‘d have to go with Bittersweet Symphony (that‘s one of my all time favorite songs, so I‘m a bit biased!) 2y
Lizpixie Stargazing & Lonely Together? 2y
Cinfhen Woohoo @MatchlessMarie @TheKidUpstairs @Librarybelle @Megabooks It is Bittersweet Symphony but I‘m pretty gaga over JT @wanderinglynn and I DO LOVE the Bill Withers song @Chrissyreadit @mjdowens who am I kidding I‘m crazy about Adele & Adam Levine too @jenniferw88 @erzascarletbookgasm 🥰 2y
Cinfhen Nope my #SistaFromAnotherMista @lizpixie but both of those songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 2y
Lizpixie Damn. I was gonna go The Verve(it‘s one if my faves too but The Drugs Don‘t Work is their best song) but thought it was too obvious. Did you get your 2021 Unwrapped playlist today? Mine was a bit of a surprise honestly, though the fact 4 of my top 5 genres are rock of some kind wasn‘t a shocker🤟 #hairmetalforever 2y
Megabooks Yay!! It‘s a great song. 👍🏻👍🏻 2y
BarbaraBB I love Nevermind and am thrilled you have it on your list! 2y
Cinfhen Dennis Lloyd is Israeli @BarbaraBB did you know that?? 2y
Cinfhen My Spotify wrap-up is whack this year @Lizpixie apparently I had Israeli pop as my number one genre / which is wild but Spotify doesn‘t lie 😆😂 2y
BarbaraBB No i didn‘t! How cool! But I love that song 🎶 2y
TrishB Great post 👍🏻 2y
Deblovestoread Great playlist with some new to me songs to check out. Bittersweet is an all time fave of mine, too. You have great taste! 💜 2y
KarenUK Love this! Thanks for sharing! 💕 2y
Cinfhen Im still #AnEightiesGirl @TrishB @Kdgordon88 @KarenUK but my 80‘s music doesn‘t really lend itself to chill 2y
Centique Bittersweet Symphony is one of my favourites too 💕 2y
Cinfhen I have a an obscure Billy Joel song, a WHAM song, a U2 song & a Chicago song in my top 5 @Centique because memories, not necessarily the best songs but probably most significant (?) although the Verve song is purely for the vibes and music (edited) 2y
Centique @Cinfhen it‘s all about the memories isn‘t it? Music takes you right back 💕 2y
