Welcome to the end of February, where this week we learned such lessons as – maybe listening to 3 Lisa Germano albums in a row is not such a good idea. No matter, it’s a new day and there are new songs to hear.

This week we get it rolling with Devin the Dude’s classic To tha X-Treme, then switch it over to Sonique’s hit It Feels So Good. Lizzy Mercier Descloux’s Slipped Disc was a hit at any party (remember those?) and still bangs. Whatever you think about Buffalo’s Griselda crew, it’s hard to deny the amazing beat on Nicholas Craven’s remix of Conway and Elzhi’s 212. Here’s a lost 80s hit from Babyface: boy band (naturally) The Boys with Dial My Heart (I gotta say this is better than Britney’s “Email My Heart”). I love Laura Nyro and I especially love the lyrics on and everything about Buy and Sell. KeiyaA is a talented young artist to watch out for, and my favorite song of hers, Hvnli, is next. Then a good old torch song in Etta Jones’ (not James) If I Had You. Johnny “Hammond” Smith’s Can’t We Smile? is a sweet ballad for this Sunday afternoon and the Lijadu Sisters’ Osupa I is a gentle jam from the Nigerian duo.

Hey, I think we’re at 290. Seems like another track has been taken off streaming, so it’s currently 289. But still, tune in next week for a cool milestone! And check out the playlist here.

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means: time to Chill. Today is the day to hang and kick it and so forth. Oh, and I have more songs for you.

Speaking of chill, we’ll start with Samantha James’s Amber Sky and move on to Sweet Trip’s Milk, which is probably the most mindblowing thing I’ve heard in the past two weeks. Then a killer Alchemist production in Step Brothers’ Tomorrow. All Donuts fans (I know you’re out there) will recognize Dionne Warwick’s You’re Gonna Need Me. Some classic Little Brother recently came to streaming, including their genius Mos Def collab Let It Go. Next, the very smooth I Try from Angela Bofill. After that, Project Pablo asks Why, Though? and then things get very twee very quickly with Saturday Looks Good To Me’s Meet Me By the Water. The late Allen Toussaint’s Southern Nights is the penultimate track today, with Aphrodite’s Child’s ballad It’s Five O’Clock to finish this week’s playlist additions off. Take care all.

And listen here.

What day is it? What year is it? What’s happening? Oh… it’s Sunday. Right. Okay, here we go:

Ever heard of Day 26? Me neither, but their song Co Star is really good. So is Don’t You Worry by Freestyle Fellowship’s Myka 9. And rest in peace to John Prine man, I recently heard Hello in There and loved it, so it’s on here. I put a Chris Bell song earlier in the playlist but today I’m including This Mortal Coil’s version of You and Your Sister. After that, Italian synth dudes Sensations’ Fix with Acudreaming, from a great RVNG compilation of their material. Then, one of my favorite (and one of the most ominous) songs by the great Shangri-Las, Past, Present and Future. Sic Alps (whatever happened to them?) are next with Wake Up, It’s Over II. Following this, everyone’s favorite Grateful Dead with Mountains of the Moon from Aoxomoxoa. Then, Marvin Gaye’s She Needs Me and Phoebe Snow’s All Over conclude this week’s additions.

We’ve hit 250 songs this week! Celebrate with me by listening here.

Hi folks, it’s your pal Ethan Reis here for what will probably be the last GSG playlist update of 2020. Thanks for tuning in and happy holidays and new years to you and yours.

This week we begin with an early Ciara jam in Field Mob’s So What, before South African artist Yvonne Chaka Chaka sings Sangoma. Then one of the most brilliant songs of 2020, Open Mike Eagle’s Wtf is Self Care? Next, T.I. affiliate Big Kuntry King is coolin’ with Young Dro on Focus, and Wild of Night hosts a Video Party (recommended for all you Kate Bush fans). Been listening to so much Willie Nelson that I couldn’t help but throw in the original Three Days, then one of my favorite bands Lambchop with If Not I’ll Just Die. An absolute classic follows in Broadcast’s Come On Let’s Go, then we turn to Memphis for Eightball & MJG’s Friend or Foe (the MJG verse near the end is perfection). Rounding things out this week is a 2020 favorite, Shabason, Krgovich & Harris’s Friday Afternoon.

Listen up here.

Wow. The songs this week are really good. I mean really good! Damn. What the hell.

So here we go y’all. Jon Lucien’s Lady Love kicks things off, followed by the heal theme from Ico (never played it, but seems cool!). Then a throwback track from one of my favorite albums, Magnetic Fields’ Josephine (from Wayward Bus). Quelle Chris’s beautiful Living Happy is next, along with Gene Clark’s One in a Hundred. Luther Vandross brings a jam in See Me and Catherine Howe sings My Child. Then we have overlooked British folk-rockers Heron with Yellow Roses, and Supermarket Blues from Eugene McDaniels’ brilliant Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse. Closing things out this week is Cat Power’s Back of Your Head.
