WQXR-FM

Despite having interviewed over 400 women about their morning routines, I’m actually pretty terrible at them. But, waking up to classical music has been something I’ve managed to stick to (this probably has something to do with all my mothers’ Deutsche Grammophon CDs I would play while she was at work). Almost a decade ago, I discovered WQXR and it’s become one of my favorite things about New York City. If you have Sonos, you can set it up to play any radio station as an alarm, so every morning, I wake up right in time for Jeff Spurgeon’s Morning Bach and “Out-the-Door” dedications. Though he’s on vacation right now, his replacement has been dropping unintentional poetry, and it’s taken my mornings to another level. If you’re a classical music snob, don’t expect any deep cuts, since they pretty much stick to the “hits”. If you want something more elevated, NTS radio might be your best bet. I typically transition to it after lunch anyway. I've been listening to Discotan’s mixes, especially her most recent, Time Traveling in Tehrangeles, where she features some fun synthy Persian hits.

KDFC Classical California

KDFC Classical California is my grandfather’s favorite radio station. It was usually wafting from my grandparents’ porch in San Francisco. The app version lists the track and composer alongside a charming slideshow of San Francisco landmarks. It feels uncharacteristically age appropriate of me to be developing a taste for classical music. I’m leaning in. Blissing out to Saint-Saëns and Beethoven is making me feel less anxious about aging and the prospect of slowing down. More porch time.

The other day I overheard a young skater tell their friends, “if you can’t be good, be safe!”

RE-REC'D BY @coreydubrowa

I love this -- it sounds good in Spanish ("cuidate") too. Maybe it's just age, but I've become fond of telling people to "be good." It's intentionally vague -- it could just be a grammatically poor version of "be well" Or it could be a suggestion to behave yourself (ish). It doesn't explain itself and that's my favorite part.
