Long way home, after the break!
Greetings!
Yeah, I'm late with your April 2026 mixtape. The past few weeks have been BUSY! Just couldn't find the time to sit down at this computer with all the SoCal day & night trips after posting our two recent Journals. It's always better to skip a few weeks so they get all the views anyways. So thank you for reading those fantastic adventures! Now we're back with your monthly music time capsule featuring 160+ of my favorite tracks from this period.
Is it a small tell for next quarter's "Listened List"? Absolutely! This listener has been keeping up with all the releases (as best he can). We're even predicting that my Spotify Wrapped will highlight "Metal" as my favorite genre due to this vengeful season. That's not counting all the Nine Inch Noize blaring out my speakers. So much rage happening right now.
Their Coachella performances were GODLY.
The festival had a big impact on my April listening patterns honestly as I walked away from those Indio live streams blasting NIN, Sombr, Rezz, PinkPantheress, and Sabrina Carpenter. I tried to include those buzzworthy additions here as best I could. They will appear on my Replay '26 surely and I'm not ashamed to say that.
Building these playlists beyond the first week of the month allows better curator anyway. For artists promoting new singles for soon-to-be-released albums can be moved to next month's playlist. Makes the roster feel more focused, right? No playlist should surpass 150+ tracks when necessary. Would be simpler if I didn't include the mainstream songs, but I like having them.
These Monday Mixtapes might start appearing over on Apple because I figured out to separate Playlists from my Library recently! Would you like that? I'll keep y'all updated. Until then... here's your snapshot of April 2026 in music! More tunes & adventures soon!
