The Moody Blues

A Winter Playlist

Because misery loves music, we’ve stitched together this cozy patchwork of songs for the dark months. Just promise to crawl out from under the covers come spring.

“Bogachiel Rain Blues,” by The Moondoggies
(A little water perks them right up.)

“Agoraphobia,” by Deerhunter
(You’ve left the house for only coffee or booze.)

“Green Rain,” by Shugo Tokumaru
(The city’s anthem.)

“Cuddle Fuddle,” by Passion Pit
(You just need to be held — or felt up.)

“Let It Fall,” by Lykke Li
(Drip drop you don’t stop.)

“Furr,” by Blitzen Trapper
(The warmth minus the flour.)

“This Is Not a Song, It’s an Outburst: or, the Establishment Blues,” by Rodriguez
(It’s not just the weather, man.)

“Florida,” by Starfucker
(Search for tickets to Miami.)

“Heavy Water/I’d Rather Be Sleeping,” by Grouper
(Fourteen hours a night is normal, right?)

“Unforgettable Season,” by Cut Copy
(Er, unending season is more like it.)

“A Woolgathering Exodus,” by Benoit Pioulard
(Grab your hat and mittens.)

Put the needle on the record and give San Francisco and L.A.’s playlists a spin.
