Put This in Your Ears Project: 2013 Mixes so Far

The Put This in Your Ears Project is proceeding apace, and I’m focusing on songs that came out in 2012-2013 so follow along if you’d like to add some new music to your collection. Here are the finished mixes so far, and the June mix is almost complete too.

Also, I use re/spin to repost finished playlists on Rdio. It takes like 15 seconds, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Put This in Your Ears, Update

Update on my song-a-day project: You guys were in two camps, loved it or wanted to shiv your laptop screen every time you saw one.

I’m continuing the project, because it makes me happy, but I hear those of you who thought it was overwhelming my other posts. Here’s my solution.

From now on, I’ll provide a link to the day’s song at the bottom of whatever I’m posting. If you’re on Spotify, you can automatically follow along daily by subscribing to that month’s playlist, which I keep updated. Once a month, I’ll post a roundup of that month’s songs, as well as the occasional playlist I make for whatever I’m up to. The May playlist will be done soon, and here’s the full playlist for April:

Go subscribe if you’d like to keep up, or check in on my daily posts for the song link at the bottom. As always, please let me know if you have suggestions. I’ve found a ton of my favorite songs that way.

After listening to 1,000 new songs as part of my Life List, I decided to post a new song on Mighty Girl every day for a year. For this project, I’m focusing on songs produced in the last year or two, so if you’re looking for new music, put this in your ears.
