February is usually a pretty bad month here in the Midwest. Tons of snow makes for quite a hermetic lifestyle. You watch a lot of Netflix and try to find something to pass the time. We hope this month’s Hipster Music Playlist helps out.

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.

I have been called a hipster on more than one occasion. I like indie music more than any other genre of music. Don’t get me wrong, I can rock out to Richard Marx or Ace of Base (depending on the amount of alcohol in my system).

Here are 15 new indie songs I’m currently listening to. Your ears will thank you for listening!

2014 was a memorable year for the site. We had a record number in visitors. I want to thank everyone for making the site a fun place. I need to think of something special to do. In the meantime, we prepared a nice Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist this month.

January is usually an extremely slow month for music. I did manage to find some new material and a few gems off some albums released late last year.

It’s the last month of 2014 (that was weird to type). It was a pretty memorable year in music, but the only album to exceed one million albums sold was Taylor Swift’s new album (sorry music industry). It’s unfortunate because a ton of awesome music was released. People intake music in different ways, but mostly it’s via torrent.

I’ve been writing so many NBA previews and NFL & college football ‘picks against the spread’ posts. It gives me time to listen to new music while I research everything. I listened to hours of music while writing last month. I’m more than prepared for November’s Hipster Music Playlist.

The first day of October is here and instead of writing my weekly college football and NFL picks against the spread post tonight, I took a break and decided to post this month’s Hipster Music Playlist.

…don’t worry, I’ll have my college football and NFL picks up Thursday afternoon-ish.

Sorry about putting this month’s Hipster Music Playlist up late. I’ve been dealing with some medical issues and a case of the ‘it hurts to sit up to type words’.

August is hit or miss for for great, new music. Bands are preparing their Fall/Winter releases, so bands often wait until after August to release new material.

I guess if I keep ‘super-sizing’ these playlists to fifteen songs, it will soon become the norm. Well, it’s official. We will always include at least fifteen songs in every hipster music playlist going forward!

July is an awesome month for new music. You can’t have an eventful Summer without a soundtrack that goes along with all the tomfoolery.

I decided to super-size this month’s playlist with 15 songs. March is when a lot of bands start releasing new music. Many of the songs this month also have great videos. Make sure you check out Big Data’s music video for “Dangerous”, it has one of the oddest storylines in a music video ever.
