Quarantine House Clean: Weekend Playlist By Jonah Laze

by | Mar 27, 2020 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you a playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we bring you another set of tunes to help get you through the extended period of sheltering in place that we’re all living through. It comes from GWARbar’s Jonah Laze, who has been inspired to some serious housecleaning during this time of quarantine, and brings us a set of hip hop, hardcore, and rockin dance tunes to keep your feet moving as you dust the top of the TV for the first time since you moved in. Because after all, there’s nothing else to do except for a speed run out of the house to look for toilet paper again.

If you miss getting your GWARbar fix, not to worry — they are currently open for takeout and delivery, between 11am and 10pm every day. Get yourself a scumdog and some cheese tots, put on this playlist, and get ready to scrub that kitchen sink.

This place ain’t gonna clean itself, Virginia.
