So good we had to run it back…again! I shared this before: earlier this year, I sought out the help of a dear friend to put together this second incredible playlist you’re about to delve into. She shared her favorite rock tunes of the eighties; just as before, you will notice that it spans...

Le magasin des envies, Vol. 12: A Love Story
I had a lot of fun last time I took this playlist concept to weave a tale. So, I decided to give it another go. It’s still a love story that most of us can relate to. It finds someone at the end of a relationship, trying to pick up the pieces of his/her...

And just in time to say goodbye to September, we’re back to delivering the playlists you’ve been so fond of. I was elated (and, I must admit, overwhelmed π ) to see this little idea of mine stretch into a whole series spanning ten volumes…so far! I’m always eager to get into this particular zone...

A couple of years ago, I had a lot of fun revisiting the eighties and its music. Also, I always felt that it was a decade that deserved more than two playlists and a DJ mix. Earlier this year, I sought out the help of a dear friend to put together the incredible playlist...

What can I say? The spirit of Valentine’s Day swept me today. So, I felt compelled to put together a playlist of songs to go along with the usual wining and dining that I’d enjoy with the missus. That’s before we got to serious matters — you must know by now how I get...

This is undoubtedly one of my favorite playlists concepts and it’s always fun to bring in a new piece. As Valentine’s Day is approaching, I thought I’d revisit it and help some of you fellas out. So, after an evening of fine dining and an elaborate flower and sweets gift combo — don’t be...

I decided to give my spin on one of our more popular playlist series. (It’s also one of our more suggestive series; no coincidence there, right?) So I asked the series mastermind for the creative process behind it and quizzed a few dear lads and ladies and this is what we’ve come with. Picture...

At long last, the long awaited weekend has come; it’s time for a bit of rest and recreation. Well, why don’t follow me a few steps above the clouds, eyes closed, and ears at ease. Allow this selection of songs to take you far away from your surroundings and into a serene (yet pulsating)...

Another collection of songs to elicit a mixed bag of feelings, yearnings and — hopefully — a rush of oxytocin and endorphins πππ...
