Schmutzie’s August 2026 Playlist

You can listen to this playlist on 9 different platforms:

Apple Music & Amazon Music (65/75) & Deezer (74/75) & Last.fm & Pandora (72/75) & Qobuz (68/75) & Spotify (73/75) & Tidal (74/75) & YouTube Music (74/75).

I love lists and facts, so, to continue:

52% of the songs are from 2026, and the complete original playlist on Apple Music is about 4 hours and 5 minutes long with 75 songs across 7 decades and 22 genres: alternative, avant-garde jazz, blues, children’s music, comedy, country, dance, folk, hard rock, indie pop, K-pop, metal, pop, pop latino, psychedelic, punk, R&B/soul, rock, rock & roll, soundtrack, techno, and worldwide. The songs are in reverse order by year and then in alphabetical order by artist within each year.

These monthly playlists are a bit of a music history sampler moving backwards through time if you play the songs in order, but I like to hit shuffle and let them surprise me.
