December 2024

 

This month’s additions feature six new artists to our playlist, and five acts who are back for their second appearance. (And one new version of a previously heard song). Also, this month we’re changing our format around a little… a little less of the playlist play-by-play, and a little more general talking about various music stuff. We’re still loving making our Spotify playlist every month, but wanted to shake things up a little here on “the pod”. Hope you enjoy!

November 2024

 

After bringing you a bunch of returning artists last month, Phoebe brought all new musicians to her submissions for our November playlist. Al contributed some new ones too, as well as new releases from our two most honored artists. We hope you enjoy these eleven songs.

October 2024

 

October brings us lots of returning artists to the playlist. Beirut, Harry Nilsson, and the amazing Allison Russell are among the seven returnees we’ve got for you this month. This is might not the most cohesive collection we’ve presented. We don’t care. Here are eleven good songs for you…

September 2024

 

Sad to say that Frank, your favorite podcasting primate, is missing from our ceremony yet again. This has resulted in embarrassing monkey impersonations and much recrimination against Phoebe, who again forgot to bring him when we recorded this episode. Somehow in spite of this adversity, we managed to come up with yet another damn good playlist and podcast for you. A few returning artists, a bunch of new and obscure artists (though maybe fewer great videos this month?). It’s what we do for you.

August 2024

 

August brings us to the 50th monthly version of the In the Distance, Oblivious Playlist! And with summer in full force here, Phoebe and Al have never been more hot and humid with their music choices. They’ve settled on a few returning artists, a bunch of new artists, a new attitude, some cicadas, and a dose of happy pills!

July 2024

 

Frequent Obliviites know that we sometimes take our show on the road to record in odd places like beach motel rooms or state park campgrounds. This month we carried our laptops, mascots and various sounds effects up to the roof of the OML Studios for our July episode. So listen up as we bring you you eleven great songs, plus bonus sirens, traffic, train horns, jet flyovers, and other general city sounds! We always try and keep it entertaining for you, and remember, “this is not a professional podcast”.

June 2024

 

June brings you another one of our themed playlists! Even in our regular playlists, we love finding more obscure and under-the-radar music, so all the artists we’re featuring this month had to be under 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify (and never featured in our playlist before). We think we found you some good ones that you’ve (hopefully) never heard before? Let us know what you think!

April 2024

 

April’s playlist brings us a few returning artists, a few brand new artists, as well as some people who have should have been in our playlist a lot who we’ve overlooked over the years. What do you think?

March 2024

 

The songs that Al submitted this month had a theme. Phoebe’s songs largely (and unwittingly) fell into the same theme. And the eleven songs that ended up in the playlist this month are very much about… ambition. What do you think?

Greatest Hits Volume Four

 

Long-time listeners know that every eleven months, we get together for a very special Greatest Hits playlist, featuring our favorite songs from the previous months. It’s one of the highlights of our year, and we hope you enjoy these great songs we’re bringing back for you!
