the playlist

As we here at SoJO get excited over our 1st ever Little Pink Dress Party on Thursday, we salute all the shades of Pink with the week's version of "The Playlist".

Your goal for this weekend is to make the mothers in your life happy - that means the mother to your children, your mother-in-law (be nice!), and of course the woman who carried you for 9+ months and suffered through hours upon hours of labor.  This edition of "The Playlist" salutes Mom with sweetness and fun!

As tequila and tortilla chip sales have increased this week, and parts of NYC are being closed down for street festivals, it means Cinco De Mayo is ready for another "Fiesta" celebration.  You may be ready to get together and have some fun, but what you need is the right music to go with this celebration - welcome to "The Playlist" for Saturday's celebration.

Take 20 songs and tie them around a topic or theme and you have the weekly version of "The Playlist". This week we salute the Borgata in Atlantic City with their summer schedule of music.

This weekend saw The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland induct an incredible talented group from the world of Rock, Rap, Alternative, and members of a classic 50s group.  This diverse group with many talented players will get saluted through this week's version of "The Playlist".

This month has seen money take center stage - from the record setting Mega Millions Lottery drawing, to the lack of money made in A.C., and the taxes that you may owe by Monday.  We make the cash that seems never to last long enough, and we dream of the "better life" with so much money that taxes will not effect us.  Time to take time out from reality with this week's edition of "Th

Now that April is here, we have to be ready for the eventual rain that always comes with this Spring month.  You know the old saying - April Showers Bring May Flowers.  All well and good this theory, but rain can also bring some thunder and lighting, the occasional flooding, and the mad scramble to find the umbrella in the house.  This week's edition of The Playlist will dive into all that encompa

The official start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season began in the very early hours of Wednesday morning when the Seattle Mariners defeated the Oakland Athletics 3-1 in 11 innings.  The rest of the league will follow suit after April 4th, creating excitement and hope in every fan.  This week on "The Playlist", we will salute the great American past-time though songs you may have ne

Spring is here!  The weather arrived a little early (a nice gift), but the winter season is over and we managed to escape with minimal damage locally - considering how severe the last 2 winters went, we deserved a break!  Now we can embrace what many feel is the best of the 4 seasons.  Spring is not perfect, but is always welcomed knowing so many things come with this season.  This week's version

You may be familiar with the saying "May the Luck of the Irish be with you".  Well St. Patrick's Day is coming on Saturday, and being part Irish (mother's maiden name is Lenihan) I'm waiting for that luck to rub off for The Powerball drawing that night!  This week's edition of "The Playlist" brings the Luck your way, through those of Irish decent, those you felt the Luck in the

The passing within the last week of Davy Jones has brought a reminder of the influence that The Monkees did have on Pop music.  Their legacy will be firmly intrenched in Pop culture forever!  This edition of "The Playlist" will hopefully further expend upon this as we look at successful songs that came from artists that were real?

Sunday saw Hollywood's best be crowned kings and queens of the past year.  The winners were all worthy, but there were cases for some that they have been snubbed.  The best example of snubbing was the category for Best Original Song - only 2 songs were nominated!  In the history of the Academy Awards, that is the least amount of nominees in a category that has existed since 1934.  Is there less an
