A Kate Inspired Throwback Playlist

Today I’m bringing you a Kate Inspired Throwback Playlist! One of my favorite things about Spotify is the ability to create your own playlists, but I also love the playlists curated by other people. Spotify puts out a Throwback Thursday playlist every week and sometimes I’m certain the creator has been following me around since high school. I decided last week to try making my own throwback playlist. I’ve never tried embedding a Spotify playlist before but if I did it right I think you can click below to listen to the playlist! If not, click here. With the exception of one notable Meredith Brooks song I think these are all “family-friendly” tunes.

If you were wondering why my username in some places (like Snapchat) is TheKateMixes, it’s a reference to my well-documented love of making mix tapes and cds. These days I make playlists instead because they’re faster, I can share them with people who live far from me and I can add as many songs as I want. I know a playlist isn’t the same as a mix cd, but I try to stick to my old rules to preserve a little bit of the spirit of the old mixes.

One of those rules is that I try never to use more than one song by the same artist on any list. That’s why Sarah McLachlan isn’t included! I couldn’t pick just one song of hers (womp womp). Maybe my next playlist should have all the artists I could never limit to my one song only rule? That would be a fun game – and maybe a very long playlist. I also had a rule that I wouldn’t show anyone the list of songs before they’d heard the whole cd but obviously the playlist format has taken away that element of surprise.

Okay, friends, tell me – would you rather make your own playlist or have somebody make one for you?
