The Memory Dream, Part 1

Air Date: January 8, 2025

Welcome to another episode of Eclectic Wonderland! This week’s show is a very special one—it’s my birthday! 🎉 To celebrate, I’ve curated a dreamy playlist of some of my all-time favorite songs, weaving together memories and music into a surreal soundscape.

The show begins with a tribute to David Bowie (who shares my birthday! Well, his Birthday is the day after, Close enough) and takes you on a journey through post-punk, shoegaze, dream pop, and more. This mix is part of a much larger Birthday Playlist that could easily fill an entire year of shows, but for now, we’re starting with Part 1.

Today’s show is a mix of some of my all-time favorite songs from the past 5.5 decades. It’s a surreal soundtrack of memory and imagination, featuring:

🎸 Bowie, Bauhaus, and Brian Eno

🍒 Cocteau Twins, Smashing Pumpkins, and Beach House

🌌 Love & Rockets, Tones On Tail, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Set your reminders!
