This Is: The Rival Staff
complied by Maria Russinovich
Hello hello hello! We are BACK for Fall '20 and we couldn't be more excited to share this playlist with all of you. When thinking of how we were going to do staff photos for such a virtual semester, we were stumped. We thought, "Maybe we could all wear tiny hats?" or "We could all hold our pets!" But when scrolling through Twitter one day (as one does) we saw the perfect idea.
Spotify artist playlists.
So, we went about asking every staffer for their favorite colors, what they want their playlist name to be, and for their best photo, and voila! We had our staff photos. Now if you know us, we used to have a playlist series where each staffer would get a whole week to themselves to showcase their music taste and let people learn about them through smooth jazz, bass-boosted EDM, or soft country music. In the spirit of these old playlists, along with the theme for our staff photos, we wanted to create a mega playlist full of songs our staffers love, with one song from each staff member. We hope you love the playlist and the staff photos as much as we loved making them. Happy listening, and stay safe out there!
