Driving south on PCH at golden hour; windows barely cracked; small passengers asleep behind you spent from a day at the beach. Looks like there’s still crumbs from potato chips on em. Keep the volume low and the adults quietly delighted.

If this isn't nice, what is?

If this isn't nice, what is?

— Kurt Vonnegut

It started as a Friday ritual.

“Until Monday” began as a small weekly gift for close friends, family, and colleagues — one song that nestled perfectly into the weekend ahead. Part gratitude for hard work, part affection, part self-expression.

Now that one song opens a twenty-track playlist built around a single scene, drawing on the two great passions of my career: music and documentary. Each one is made for the deeply human moments that transcend race or region. We’ve all been there, or we know we will be soon.

I’d love for you to join us this week.
