This week's Mixtape Rewind has our friend and the host of the podcast What Are You Listening To?, Jenn Tully, joining Matt and Sam to present her Desert Island Mix.....which may have changed since we recorded this episode.

From 80s powerhouses to modern indie storytellers, Jenn maps the songs that shaped her life and the moments they still soundtrack.

We start in montage mode with John Waite’s Change and a spirited Vision Quest detour, then settle into anchor territory: the Eagles’ warm-road harmonies and Led Zeppelin’s tender Tangerine. Joy spikes with The Police’s Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, a steel-drum smile fit for any beach, while Taylor Swift’s Invisible String wraps pandemic-era time into something curious, mystical, and finally wondrous. Jenn’s love for storytelling shines through John Mayer’s Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, a cult-favorite narrative that sparks debate about reinvention, risk, and what it means to surface somewhere new.

Modern textures pull the set forward. Glass Animals’ Life Itself examines belonging with kinetic honesty, Iron & Wine’s Call It Dreaming offers lyrical grace for anyone carrying old loves, and Young the Giant’s Superposition turns physics into romance—finding beauty in overlap, uncertainty, and dual truths. We celebrate Annie Lennox’s vocal fire on Eurythmics’ Would I Lie to You and the candid power of sister-trio Haim on Forever. And to close, Jenn lands on Madonna’s Borderline, a timeless 80s gem that still blooms on every listen.
