BSR Staff Playlist: Music for Cool Kids to Fall Asleep To

In an effort for our listeners to get to know the staff at BSR (and to provide excellent music), we’re featuring a different BSR staffer made playlist every week.

In these fast-paced times, the ability to multitask is an extremely valuable skill. For example: what if you could get a full night’s sleep while also cultivating good taste in music?

To help make this seemingly impossible hypothetical a reality, I have spent countless hours in Black Squirrel Radio’s state-of-the-art laboratories devising a scientifically engineered playlist of songs that can serve as both a powerful sleep aid and a primer on how to like cooler bands than your friends.

This collection of tracks transcends restrictions of time, genre and mood to craft a medicinal assault on insomnia and poor taste. For best results, it is advised by the BSR medical counsel (myself) to shuffle this playlist and let its 2.516 hours of weapons-grade indie rock, dreampop, soul, hip-hop, folk, oldies, jazz and other assorted brick-a-brac put you into a deep, satisfying sleep. Do not be alarmed to find a bunch of band shirts you don’t remember owning the following morning; this is a natural side effect of this treatment.
