SPD Playlists: Jamie Prokell
"I listen to music at least 11 hours a day," says More magazine's senior art director Jamie Prokell.He's constantly on the search for new bands and sounds. "[I'm] happy to share some of the music I have found in the past year. Some of it is good to get pumped up to start work, some is good for walking and traveling, a couple work for kerning."
