I was diagnosed with aggressive stage 3 breast cancer in 2018 at 35 years old. I knew that I would kick cancer's ass eventually, but first I needed a 'f*** cancer' playlist to get me through it. The Clash and Foo Fighters for surgery days, Neko Case and Future Islands for treatment days and the entire Beatles catalogue for everything else. I didn't know exactly what was in the chemo cocktail, but I knew that rock and roll was always pumping in veins. (and surgery scars are about as punk rock as it gets.)\n\nThankfully, I am 6 years clean (NED) and feeling great thanks to the support of my loved ones and amazing medical team. To the people who are currently going through treatment - keep keeping on and never underestimate the power of music. It saved my life and I know it will do the same for you.\n\nThank you so much for letting me share my story and thank you for playing amazing music 24/7.

My Dad had great musical taste, but like every kid I hated a lot of it when I was younger, only to realize later how great it really was. If there's one artist he loved that really grew on me, it was Sade. My father LOVED Sade. When the Smooth Operator video came out on MTV, my Dad always turned it up. It's important to say that he experienced the music he loved viscerally and his earnestness about it was almost too sweet to witness, always singing along and tapping a foot. Like all the music he loved, Sade brought my father real joy. That joy now lives with me and I think of him whenever I hear her.
