We just landed in Bristol, baby! (Mentally, at least) 🇬🇧🌧️ We’re slowing the tempo all the way down to explore the smoky, mysterious world of Trip-Hop. We’re digging into the 'Bristol Sound' circa 1990 to find out what happens when you mix hip-hop beats with moody jazz, dub reggae, and a little bit of existential dread. 😅 We’re spinning the classics that defined a generation of late-night drives and rainy afternoons. Plus a few modern-day surprises along the way. Put your headphones on and lower the lights—it’s going to get heavy in the best way. 🎵 ▸ LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE'S PLAYLIST: Listen free with ads: 🔗 — YouTube Music - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/yt66 Listen with a paid music subscription: 🔗 — Apple Music - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/am66 🔗 — Spotify - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/sp66 🎧 ▸ MUSIC DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE: ♪ — "Safe from Harm" - Massive Attack feat.

Let's rewind WAAAY back to one of our single-digit podcast episodes! Back when we had a different podcast name and everything! In this "Good Storytelling" episode we highlighted a collection of short stories all told through traditional songs. This playlist was a wild ride of songs, each one a narrative with its own characters and plot twists that’ll keep your ears hooked. It's a great reminder that music can be just as thrilling and full of surprises as your favorite book or movie. — Originally aired 6/8/23. 🎵 ▸ LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE'S PLAYLIST: Listen for free: 🔗 — YouTube Music - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/yt8 Listen with a paid music subscription: 🔗 — Apple Music - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/am8 🔗 — Spotify - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/sp8 🎧 ▸ MUSIC DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE: ♪ — "Meet the Parents" - Jay-Z ♪ — "Fool for Love" - Petey Pablo ♪ — "Pimp Council" - Disturbing The Peace (feat.
