Guest mixologists Mxology Shay and Gabby Perret join us for our annual end-of-the-year roundtable, where we shamelessly pander to the algorithm by slowly and repeatedly enunciating the titles of our favorite singles, EPs, albums, and artists of 2023. Literally who needs Spotify wrapped when you have us? And speaking of wrapped, we’ve reached the official end of Season Five of Tunes & Tumblers! We wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for listening and supporting us on this journey. We’ll s...

Throw a bell behind your favorite track of 2023 and come back to us. Now that we’ve essentially given you a hack for free Spotify royalties, join us at our extra special holiday roundtable as we dis...
