This week, I had the good fortune of talking to Mia Rushton and Eric Moschopedis, February's artists-in-residence at The Neighbourhood Time Exchange (Find out more HERE). Also, it's Valentine's Day (ugh), so I thought I'd play some love songs that aren't too gross and sappy. The playlist is rounded out with funky tunes you can groove to, and some rock songs about breakups.
