LINER NOTES

DANIEL: The name of the playlist comes from the James Wright poem, “Sappho”: 


They cannot tear the garden out of me,

Nor smear my love with names. Love is a cliff,

A clear, cold curve of stone, mottled by stars,

Smirched by the morning, carved by the dark sea

Till stars and dawn and waves can slash no more,

Till the rock’s heart is found and shaped again.


The songs I picked all came from different places, which I think speaks to all the different ways we can interact with music now. ML Buch I heard on WSUM while driving home. Summer 2000 was recommended to me by Bandcamp. Hayden Pedigo was on a Pitchfork mid-year list of best albums. Sometimes you seek out the music, and sometimes it seeks out you


MIKE: It's okay to like Skynard every once in a while


EMILY: Discovered this from the playlist made for this acoustic product showroom at Neocon. It was such a vibe in there. Most of the commercial design world is bleak and dystopian and corny but this space made me feel good for just a bit.
