Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Nicole (class of 2024) featuring some tunes from the TV series Gilmore Girls.
Re-watching Gilmore Girls
It’s finally the season to take out your cozy sweaters, order pumpkin spice latte, prep your Halloween costume and, most importantly, re-watch your favorite comfort show: Gilmore Girls!! Here is a playlist with some iconic tunes from the show, and other songs that remind me of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library associate Melanie and features some music by artists in (and from) Richmond, Virginia (aka RVA).
RVA All Day
An utterly non-comprehensive utterly Richmond-y sort of playlist. Featuring music old and new in MANY genres.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Marissa (class of 2025). It’s called “Brain Scratch.”
Brain Scratch
Ever listen to a song that scratches a certain itch in your brain? Or, in other words, a song that no matter how many times you listen to it, you can’t seem to get tired of it? I like to refer to those as “brain scratch songs”. This playlist describes that feeling for me, and I hope it will for you as well.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! To day we feature a collection of Riot Grrrl music curated by Music Library Associate Melanie.
Riot Grrrl
Riot grrrl began in the early 1990s as a DIY, feminist punk movement. Riot grrrl saw girls as a “revolutionary soul force” with the power to disrupt the status quo; rejecting social constructs of how women were supposed to look and behave; and zeroing in on personal and political discussions of sexism, sexuality, sexual violence, female empowerment, racism, ageism, homophobia, fat shaming, and able-bodiedism.
The riot grrrl movement allowed women their own space to create music and make political statements about the issues they were facing in the punk rock community and in society.
This playlist is inspired by the Music Library’s current exhibit: “Girls to the Front: The Riot Grrrl Revolution” which you should come to the library to take a look at should you have the time or inclination.
It features riot grrrl music from the 1990s(ish), and tracks by fellow travelers, antecedents and descendants.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Nikoloz (class of 2026) and features some Russian songs from the 2000s-2010s.
Early on the Other Side of the World
This playlist includes Russian songs from the early 2000s, and some from 2010s. I myself am not Russian, but these songs were commonly heard on TV growing up in Georgia, very early in my childhood.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Danny (class of 2023) and features a selection of favorite tunes for the holiday season.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Eliana (class of 2024) and features tunes by less-famous siblings of famous singers.
The Forgotten Sibling
You’d be surprised how many famous singers have a less-famous sibling (or two!) that’s got a pretty established career of their own. Here’s a playlist for all the forgotten singers living in the shadow of their brother or sister. They deserve a time to shine.
Noah Cyrus already has a pretty large following and makes some great songs (imho), but she still hasn’t reached the caliber of her older sister, Miley.
FINNEAS has always been loved by fans of his sister, Billie Eilish, but has recently made some great albums of his own. Don’t worry, though, he’s still writing and playing in all of her releases.
Solange emerged from the background of Destiny’s Child with a vibrant solo career that has had its successes, but is yet to reach the height of her A-list sister, Beyoncé.
Jamie Lynn Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, played Zoey on nick’s Zoey 101. Still, she never reached Britney-level success. Fun fact: her dad is named Jamie and her Mom is named Lynne. Lol.
Julio Iglesias Jr. is the younger brother of singer Enrique Iglesias and the son of singer Julio Iglesias, so it’s a very musical family! Julio jr’s songs have done well, but none have amassed a following quite like Enrique’s Bailando.
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Esther (class of 2025) and features an assortment of chamber music.
“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”
One of my favorite aspects of chamber music is exploring the intimacy of its subtle expressions. Here are some of my top chamber music pieces (including some I’ve been gatekeeping).
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Danny (class of 2023) and is entitled “Midnight Delight”.
Midnight Delight
(the title depends heavily on if you enjoy letting your feelings out before a good sleep)
Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Danny (class of 2023) and it may be somewhat relatable during exam season. Hang in there!
