Lucky 13 Vol 4: Sonic Soul for the Dino Network
, by Penny, 9 min reading time
Hey there, Dino Network! Are yall ready to turn the volume up to eleven? Because I am absolutely buzzing today! We are back with the fourth installment of our legendary series: Lucky 13 Vol 4. This isn't just a collection of songs; it’s a full-on vibe shift curated by the brilliant Eva. She has been digging through the crates and scouting the digital airwaves to bring our dinosaur friends the most eclectic, soul-stirring, and high-energy tracks across five distinct genres.
Whether you are currently knee-deep in flour while working on your latest sourdough creation or you’re scrolling through our latest collectibles at Tobies House, these playlists are designed to be the soundtrack to your life. We are leaning into the eclectic spirit that defines us, and let me tell you, yall are going to be vibing with these selections for weeks.
So, grab your headphones, clear some space for a quick dance break, and let’s dive into the sonic magic Eva has put together for us!
Playlist 1: Modern Alternative (Lucky 13 Vol 4)
First up, we are hitting the ground running with some serious edge. Our Modern Alternative playlist is for those moments when you need to feel the raw energy of the 2020s. We’re leaning into that gritty, rebellious spirit that makes you want to conquer the world: or at least conquer your to-do list!
Eva really outdid herself here, blending the high-octane energy of Yungblud with the ethereal yet punchy vibes of Willow. It’s the kind of music that pairs perfectly with browsing our more "intense" collectibles. Imagine listening to "Honey (Are U Coming?)" while checking out our Wolverine X-Men figure or feeling the mutant power of Rogue.
The Tracklist:
- Yungblud - "Lowlife"
- Willow - "Wait a Minute!"
- Maneskin - "Honey (Are U Coming?)"
- Pale Waves - "Lies"
- Mod Sun - "Strangers"
- Maggie Lindemann - "she knows it"
- girl in red - "Serotonin"
- Royal & the Serpent - "Overwhelmed"
- Bring Me The Horizon - "LosT"
- Dominic Fike - "Mona Lisa"
- 24kGoldn - "Mood"
- KennyHoopla - "how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?"
- The Interrupters - "Gave You Everything"
Playlist 2: Outlaw Roots (Lucky 13 Vol 4)
Now, let’s take a sharp turn toward the dusty roads and neon-lit honky-tonks. The Outlaw Roots playlist is a tribute to the rebels of the past and the torchbearers of the present. This is for the Dino Network members who appreciate the storytelling and the grit of real-deal country and folk.
We’re starting off with the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash, because you can't have "Outlaw" without him. But Eva has also included the hauntingly beautiful sounds of Orville Peck and the deep, gravelly soul of Colter Wall. This playlist feels like a long ride through the desert at midnight. It’s mysterious, it’s powerful, and it’s a little bit dangerous: kind of like our Ringwraith collectible. If you’re feeling a bit more heroic, maybe listen to "The Man from Waco" while admiring our Batman Michael Keaton figure.
The Tracklist:
- Johnny Cash - "God's Gonna Cut You Down"
- Orville Peck - "Dead of Night"
- Colter Wall - "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie"
- Tyler Childers - "In Your Love"
- Sturgill Simpson - "Turtles All the Way Down"
- Sierra Ferrell - "Fox Hunt"
- Charley Crockett - "The Man from Waco"
- Margo Price - "Hands of Time"
- Paul Cauthen - "Cocaine Country Dancing"
- Jason Isbell - "Cover Me Up"
- Zach Bryan - "Something in the Orange"
- Waylon Jennings - "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean"
- Willie Nelson - "On the Road Again"
Playlist 3: Psychedelic Soul (Lucky 13 Vol 4)
BRB, just ascending to another dimension! 🌈 Playlist 3 is all about expanding your horizons and letting the groove take over. Psychedelic Soul is where the retro meets the future, blending the classic sounds of The Doors and Pink Floyd with modern masters like Tame Impala and Khruangbin.
This is the ultimate background music for a productive afternoon at Tobies House. We suggest putting this on while you try out our Purple Powerhouse eggplant recipe. There is something about the swirling guitars and hypnotic beats that makes the sourdough rising process feel like a spiritual experience. If you’re feeling particularly whimsical while listening to "Catching Smoke," you might find yourself searching for something cute on our site, like Yoshi or maybe a bit of chaos with the Joker Lego Movie figure.
The Tracklist:
- The Doors - "People Are Strange"
- Tame Impala - "Let It Happen"
- Khruangbin - "Texas Sun"
- Temples - "Shelter Song"
- Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "Hunnybee"
- Pond - "Paint Me Silver"
- King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - "Catching Smoke"
- Pink Floyd - "Breathe (In the Air)"
- Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit"
- MGMT - "When You Die"
- alt-J - "Breezeblocks"
- Glass Animals - "The Other Side of Paradise"
- Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - "Found God in a Tomato"
Playlist 4: Modern Americana (Lucky 13 Vol 4)
For the Dino Network friends who love a good melody and a heartfelt lyric, Modern Americana is your sanctuary. This playlist is curated with a focus on powerful vocals and acoustic-driven arrangements that feel both timeless and fresh. We are leaning into the strength of The Chicks, the shimmering pop-country of Kacey Musgraves, and the raw emotion of Brandi Carlile.
This playlist is perfect for those weekend mornings when you’re tidying up your collection or planning your next adventure. If you’re feeling the patriotic vibes of "Gaslighter," you might want to check out our Mickey Mouse Patriotic figure. Or, if you’re vibing with the grit of "S.O.B.," maybe the Detroit Lions NFL collectible is more your speed. It’s all about finding that connection between the music and the items that bring us joy.
The Tracklist:
- The Chicks - "Gaslighter"
- Kacey Musgraves - "Butterflies"
- Brandi Carlile - "The Story"
- First Aid Kit - "My Silver Lining"
- The Lumineers - "Stubborn Love"
- Mumford & Sons - "The Cave"
- Shovels & Rope - "Birmingham"
- Hurray for the Riff Raff - "Pa'lante"
- Rhiannon Giddens - "At the Purchaser's Option"
- Lake Street Dive - "Good Kisser"
- Yola - "Faraway Look"
- Valerie June - "Astral Plane"
- Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - "S.O.B."
Playlist 5: Melodic Horizons (Lucky 13 Vol 4)
Finally, we reach the Melodic Horizons. This is the playlist for the late-night thinkers and the early-morning dreamers. It’s smooth, it’s pop-forward, and it’s packed with the biggest voices in the game right now. We’re talking SZA, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Hozier.
Eva wanted to make sure we ended on a high note: something that feels expansive and full of possibility. These tracks are the ones you find yourself humming while you’re out and about. It’s the perfect vibe for browsing our most fun and colorful items, like Unikitty Girl or the fabulous Harley Quinn from the Lego Movie. And for our sports fans, "Young Dumb & Broke" is a great tune to listen to while checking out the Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors figure.

- SZA - "Kill Bill"
- The Weeknd - "Less Than Zero"

Making Music a Lifestyle
At Tobies House, we believe that everything is connected. The music you listen to, the food you bake, and the characters you collect: they all tell the story of who you are. We aren't just an e-commerce site; we are a lifestyle hub for our dinosaur friends who refuse to be put in a box.
Eva’s curation for Lucky 13 Vol 4 is a testament to that. She didn't just pick "popular" songs; she picked songs that feel like us. Whether you are vibing with the star-power of Hagrid or the stoic duty of a 332nd Company Clone Trooper, there is a track in these lists for you.
We even have some magic for the wizards in the audience! Put on some "Breathe (In the Air)" and take a look at our Dumbledore in Blue. Or, if you’re in a tech-savvy mood, maybe "Let It Happen" is the perfect song to accompany our IG-11 Mandalorian figure.
The Dino Network is all about community, and music is the universal language that brings us together. We’d love to hear which of these playlists yall are leaning into the most! Are you an Outlaw Roots fan, or are you floating through Melodic Horizons? Let us know the next time you’re hanging out with us online.
Before we wrap this up, remember that these playlists are meant to be shared! Turn them on during your next dinner party, play them while you're working out, or just use them to drown out the noise of the world for a little while. Eva put a lot of heart into these, and we know our dinosaur friends are going to appreciate the soul in every single track.
Keep exploring, keep vibing, and keep being the amazing, eclectic humans (and dinosaurs) you are. We’ve got so much more coming your way soon, but for now, enjoy the sonic journey of Lucky 13 Vol 4!
Love ya to the moon and back, Xo.
