Welcome back to another fun-filled Jet Fuel Jukebox!
This week I’ve gone oldie, modeling my half of the playlist after hits from the 1960s. This is due to my obsession with the recent video game release of Mafia 3, which has taken up much of my free time over the past week. Mafia 3 takes place in a fictionalized appropriation of New Orleans in the late ’60s, and it features a wonderful, time-appropriate soundtrack from which I’ve plucked my favorites to include in our playlist this week.
In addition, Jake has updated his half with more recent tunes that he’s been enjoying. This week’s playlist as a whole features tracks by Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, Of Monsters and Men, and Florence + The Machine.
