I have found a lot of good music for this month’s playlist. It expanded to 25 tracks for a second month in a row. Also, a band this month did something that almost never happens, they appear twice on this playlist.
I don’t think having 25 tracks on a playlist every month will become the norm, but it is needed this Summer. I haven’t been able to cut the playlist down to 20 the last two months.
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.
