PYL In-Flight Mix Tape (2020)
Each week in the PYL In-Flight Entertainment newsletter, I include a link to a song that relates to the topic of the week.
How do I decide on the songs? Sometimes the songs just come to me and other times I have to do weird-ass random searches. While I like to showcase women artists, I also tend to be nostalgic for music from my teens and twenties.
Consider this your PYL In-Flight Entertainment Mix Tape that comes with all the love and intention of a teenager in the 80s!
