I’ve been getting a lot of messages and emails lately asking if I would be releasing a new playlist any time soon. Well, your eager inquiries have been rewarded. This playlist has been personally tested to be suitable for fireside chats in the woods, falling asleep in a tent, quiet nights reading, driving through the mountains, fly fishing, and whatever adventures you can get yourself into. So, just as the season of adventuring is about to be upon us, I give you the Campfire playlist. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have the last few months.

If you’ve know me for any amount of time, you may notice that I neglected to release the fourth in the Pumpkin Spice Latte Mixtape series, the fall playlist I’ve released every year for the past three years. It wasn’t for lack of trying, but other things piled up, life happened, and here we are halfway to winter with no mixtape, and honestly not much inspiration.
Worry not, dear readers. I have for you instead, the first installment of the winter themed playlists; titled Good Winter. It’s a snow (or, as I realized later, blood) themed playlist perfectly designed for cold snowy (or rainy) days inside next to the fire with a blanket, a french press, and an old book. For when you come back in from playing in the snow to a smooth cup of hot chocolate, the feeling of blood rushing back into your fingertips, and the smell of evergreen.

I hope you enjoy what I’ve constructed here. I hope this finds you warm and well. Listen to this on those cold days inside or on the road, and there’ll be a good chance that I’m somewhere listening right along with you.

So here it is, the long awaited, highly coveted, much anticipated Oh, Pioneer! playlist. It’s called Kindle the Fire in Your Chest (Kindle the Fire for short) and it’s an hour and 37 minutes packed full of amazing jams by tons of great artists, as well as the classic reading of “Pioneers! O, Pioneers!” by Will Geer.
This playlist is has been personally tested by yours truly and is proven to be a great soundtrack for roadtrips into the wilderness, chopping down trees in your back yard, reading books by Hemingway and Thoreau, and standard-issue shenanigans and cockamamie.

If you enjoy it, or have any comments or suggestions, come at me, bro.
