Art , music, and culture is oozing everywhere here. My morning subway ride took me through two stations in Queens with music blaring from boom boxes and live performers in the subway stairwells and in the cars themselves . Everybody in the streets this morning seemed to be completely decked out, everyone with earbuds in, tuning in and tuning out. Curious to hear from my peers who are visiting Spotify Friday how the company is influenced by the booming music scene of this monstrous city. Reggae , House, Punk, Trap, Techno, Disco jams….I’ve heard it all already! Such a pleasure to hear more than the bongo buskers back home in Eugene….Heads up to my fellow Art Directors Spotify posted this up in regards to their applicant qualifications :

“You get nervous if you’re not sketching concepts or polishing the designs that represent the big-thinking work. Your head is in the clouds while your feet are on the ground.”

Definitely feel like I’m on cloud 9 with 1992 Deluxe slowly draining my battery as I head toward the East Village to buy a new blank sketch book for the week.

What is your perfect city playlist?
