Can’t believe that we are already in mid-November and starting to get into the holiday season. With that said, there is a ton of new music being released and below is a little snip-it to help get you in a groove as we start the countdown to 2018. Got some newbies as well as some seasoned vets in this mashup of music. Hope you enjoy and cheers!
Peace + Love + Music
“Do you remember…….” Welcome to September and welcome to Life is Beautiful month! We’re going to kickoff this countdown with a dance party thanks to the funkiest duo around, Chromeo! Get amped and get ready to catch them performing in DTLV on Sunday, September 25!
Hitting the road this weekend, hosting a BBQ or just chilling by the pool for MDW? Here’s a playlist for you to listen to, the Life is Beautiful 2016 mixtape courtesy of our friends at Pandora! Enjoy and rock out! http://pdora.co/LIBFestival

Been a bit since I put together a playlist so here’s a extended one for June. Hope you find some good tunes to rock out to.
Just dropped this evening, the 2014 Coachella lineup. Take a look and maybe I’ll see you out in Indio this April. Pretty strong from top to bottom and boy oh boy are there some gems in the tiny font.
Thanksgiving gave me a minute to sit back and have a little fun putting together a Top Tracks of 2013 playlist. This clearly doesn’t include all of the great music that has filtered our ears this year but it is a collection of music that has been on rotation for me in 2013. I tried not to duplicate artists (I could have gone on for days with whole albums from the likes of Vampire Weekend, Cayucas, White Denim, Bastille, etc.) so I hope you like this playlist which should keep you going for hours and perfect for some holiday road trips.
Cheers!
Finally got a chance to put together a little playlist for this month. Lots and lots of new releases recently so hopefully you like this collection which includes a few tracks from Life is Beautiful performers.
Do You Hear The Music?
