A summery mix of mostly new-ish mostly upbeat tunes to listen to.

I used to run an Internet radio station at Live365 called Polka Dot Radio. I gave that up in 2008 and since then, I’ve gotten my fix for music sharing by creating playlists at 8tracks.
The original radio station had a tagline of alt-folk, 1990's, and indie pop, and for the most part, that is still a pretty good description of my musical taste. My current playlists are heavy on the alt-folk / indie pop / alternative sound, with a smattering of favorites from other decades peppered in there.
You can play all of my virtual mix tapes and get more details about them in the posts below. Happy listening! 🎶
Quiet Time 12
There’s not very much to say about this twelfth collection of music for quiet time, aside from “more of the same” 😉

I have a new playlist to share! It contains 20 new-to-me tracks, and is pretty similar to most of my other non-themed playlists. If you like those, you’ll probably like this 🙂

I cranked out a new volume of my Coffee and Keyboard series this weekend. C&K playlists are 2 hours long, and feature upbeat instrumentals in a variety of styles. The idea is to help you focus without putting you to sleep.

Like quiet Christmas music for studying, reading, knitting, or sleeping to? You might enjoy the Quiet Time Christmas playlist. It’s the latest in the Quiet Time series, and it’s just like the others, except there might just be mention of silver bells in there somewhere.

I published two new playlists last week: Quiet Time 11, and Robots Need Love, Too. That’s ten new playlists this year, ranging in style from bedtime music, to work-friendly instrumentals, to classic tunes from the 60’s through the 90’s, to current indie pop/rock and alternative mixes. My taste can be a bit eclectic.

When I made my first Quiet Time mix in 2016, I thought it would be a one-off. And now, here we are, looking at Quiet Time 10!

If you like Beck, Bleachers, The Decemberists, Blind Pilot, Wilco, and Darlingside (to name a few), you should like this new Summer playlist. And if you don’t know who those people are, but you like my other mixes, then you should still probably like it.

I’ve been spending a lot of time playing around with my music collection lately, and the result is three new playlists! One with new music for spring, another volume of Coffee and Keyboard for those times you need some wordless music for working, and a collection of music from the 1990’s – it’s a diverse group, so hopefully you will find something fun to listen to!
