It's already July which is crazy but cool bc that means we have our second ever post! This month we have playlists from 4 unsmiling gentlemen but I promise they're all quite nice. We have Jimmy Ouwehand, Matt Ogden, Tyler Buchanan, and again our lovely editor John Cecil who is not going to do a playlist every month but it does seem like it. Have a great month everyone!

Down In The Easy Chair
Matt Ogden (Philadelphia, PA) -- I typically name my playlists after a lyric from one of the first songs I add to it. It becomes an unofficial theme for the playlist as later added songs tend to fit the vibe of the lyric. So this playlist adheres to that playlist creation structure and is also just the songs that stayed in my rotation since the beginning of the year! Enjoy!
