The Playlist: Maarten Bayliss

The local comedian, filmmaker and actor is also one half of sample-rock duo Jackson Ramsey; here, Maarten Bayliss shares what’s on his digital playlist.

The Band
Cindy Lee

I have a weird obsession with Cindy Lee. They shred whilst making me cry. I told them at a show that I’d been going on a drunken Cindy Lee rabbit hole on YouTube and they asked if I was OK. (I was not.)

The Song
“Renata” by James Holden

This is my must-play DJ song. It’s on the weird side but it’s got the people goin’ on several occasions.

The BingeWatch Show
English Teacher

Mostly for Carmen Christopher.

The Movie
Hundreds of Beavers

I had no idea what to expect, and it turned out to be a high-octane, gag-heavy half live-action, half animated black-and-white silent comedy that felt like a real-life Bugs Bunny cartoon. It’s on Tubi!

Bayliss’s solo EP, Airing, and Jackson Ramsey’s latest album, Tropical Drone, are both available on streaming services now.
