I create playlists for everything-the changing seasons, birthdays, holidays, dinner parties and big events. I’ve done it since I can remember and any of my longtime friends will tell you that my mix tapes are legendary. There’s no better way to capture the mood of an event or trip than with music and it’s the best when a song comes on your shuffle and instantly takes you back to a time when you played it over and over.
So in keeping with my tradition, I made a playlist for my first trip to Miami and to the Democratic Debates to preserve the experience with music down the road. I thought I would share it with you in case you’re also into this sort of thing and I’ve had it on in the background for almost a week now and I’m loving the mood.
It’s called “Florida or Fillibust” and I hope you enjoy!
