On Quiet Time 14, a new Winter playlist, and the demise of 8tracks.

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, first at 8tracks until they went under, and now at Spotify.
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! 🎶
November Mood
Well, it’s November, and usually by this time, I have either made a Fall playlist and listened to it ad nauseum for the last two months, or decided that I didn’t need a new one at all. It’s not like me to actually make a Fall playlist in November. Except this year, I did.

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!
