It’s time another edition of Mixtapes!, our video interview series where artists reveal their musical tastes by creating a completely off-the-cuff playlist. This time, Lake Street Dive soundtrack celebrities sliding into their DMs, playful musical feuds, and stepping in gum with new shoes.
The perfect song selection can turn a bad situation good and a good situation great. That’s why we connected with Lake Street Dive, experts at sonic curation — as can be heard on their just released new album, Good Together. The pop-soul act tells us exactly what we should be listening to in case we ever find ourselves stepping in gum while wearing new shoes, meeting a younger version of ourselves, or in the midst of a battle with Postmodern Jukebox.

Ahead of their set at this year’s Topeka’s Moon Crush Pink Moon festival, Lake Street Dive dove into a big ol’ hotel bed, got all comfy, and played a round of our favorite game — Mixtapes! As absurd scenario after absurd scenario gets launched at the band, they offer up such tuneful goodies as Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose,” TLC’s “No Scrubs,” Scorpions’ “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” and Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.”
See what prompts led Lake Street Dive to pick these tracks and more by watching the video interview above (or via YouTube). The band is also in the midst of a summer tour supporting Good Together, their new album that arrived today (June 21st).
