Schmutzie’s July 2025 Playlist
This playlist is out on 8 platforms:
Apple Music &
Spotify &
YouTube &
Tidal &
Deezer &
Amazon Music (66/67) &
Last.fm (66/67) &
Qobuz (65/67)
55% of the songs are from 2025. The complete original playlist on Apple Music is about 3 hours and 48 minutes long with 67 songs across 7 decades and 17 genres: alternative, electronic, folk, pop, indie rock, traditional folk, jazz, singer/songwriter, rock, contemporary folk, K-pop, R&B/soul, punk, hip-hop/rap, alternative folk, funk, and country. The songs are in reverse order by year and then in alphabetical order by artist within each year.
In the last half of the playlist, I’ve specifically chosen more popular oldies because it’s comforting to sing the three words I remember every time the chorus comes around. They feel like an anchor, my most comfortable pair of shoes, a dry spot in a thunderstorm. We need to gather our easy comforts, people. History says we’re probably in for the long haul.
These monthly playlists are a bit of a music history sampler, so, as usual, enjoy the trip :)
