It’s a new year and it’s cold as hell outside. It took me a longer time than usual to put together this month’s hipster music playlist. I used up a lot of my extra cache of tracks in last month’s playlist. Bands aren’t too keen on releasing new stuff in late-December and January.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

Make sure to go over to our Spotify playlist where we add every track each month. There’s something for everyone there.
