Music is a big part of our family. I think one of the first conversations Tim and I had was about music, leaning against the host station waiting for the first table of the day at Calhoun’s. So around three years ago when we first started talking about opening Pale Fire, the conversation naturally drifted to what kind of music we would be playing. Right away, Tim wanted something that could be a collaborative effort with our community.
Like or dislike Spotify, (we know Thom Yorke, Taylor Swift, and most recently Bjork all hate it and Dave Grohl “doesn’t effing care.” ) It can be a way for users to create and share playlists with other followers. Tim asked many of our friends and future brewery patrons to each create a Spotify playlist called ’96 Songs.”
Much like that stack of mixtapes you have lying in a shoebox somewhere, we are finding these to be made with a great amount of care and tlc. Some picked themes, some picked decades, some take you all over the place, and all say a lot about the creator. Brent, who made one of the 96 song playlists below shared this favorite reference:
These playlists may not be playing at the brewery yet, but they’ve definitely been fun to listen to at the Brady house. So here are playlists from some of our musical investors, we are hoping these tracks and individual tastes create an atmosphere for great conversations over a couple of pints.
In no particular order. Check back for additions.
