Sock It To Me Santa: Holiday Weekend Playlist, Nakatomi Plaza Edition

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

This time around, we have an especially-curated holiday playlist from RVA Magazine’s music-obsessed Editor-In-Chief, Marilyn Drew Necci. Here’s what she has to say about it:

“The reference to Nakatomi Plaza, the immortal hijacked skyscraper at the center of Die Hard, is intentional. Much like Die Hard, which was retconned into a ‘Christmas movie’ over 20 years after its initial release, many of these songs were never really intended to be ‘Christmas songs,’ per se. Therefore, most of them are songs that have not been played to exhaustion on the all-Christmas music stations we’re inevitably bombarded by while working or shopping over this holiday season. I tried to avoid anything that makes such playlists, as well as unusual versions of played-to-death standards, and I mostly succeeded at both. Ideally, the result is a holiday playlist you can put on at your Christmas party this year without having everyone demand you unplug your iPhone immediately.”

So there you have it — our Christmas gift to you, the RVA Magazine family. Enjoy.

I Was An Eagle: Weekend Playlist by Deau Eyes

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

This week, we’ve got a set of great tunes from Deau Eyes, the musical project of Richmond-based singer-songwriter Ali Thibodeau. Straddling the line between 90s-style indie/alternative rock and a more classic Americana-influenced rock sound, Deau Eyes has been making quite a stir on the regional music scene for the past couple of years now — and that’s with only one single having been released thus far!

If you listen to this entire playlist, you’ll get a chance to hear that single, “Paper Stickers,” at the very end, but before you get there you’ll get an amazing assortment of powerful songs in all sorts of different genres — folk, soul, indie, psych, and many more. All of it’s sure to keep your chilly December weekend warmed up, though — and isn’t that what’s most important?

Raise your hand, Virginia.
