A thing I’m loving lately

This time of year is hard. Winter has been going on for way too long and I’m desperate for springtime, sunshine, and relief from always feeling cold. All the fun holidays that revolve around eating and drinking and getting together with friends and family are over.

I need a pick-me-up, and the album Morbid Stuff by PUP is doing it for me. It’s got plenty of energy but none of it is lighthearted. It’s exactly the mood I need right now. I legitimately love every single song on this album, which has been very rare for me lately.

What are you listening to lately?

The best power ballads

I’m back on the playlist making game and this month I had to use Valentines Day as an excuse to share my love of power ballads. They are super 80s. They are sappy and romantic. And I can’t help myself from getting pumped up whenever I listen to them.

February is pretty dreary, so I need the extra boost this playlist is giving me.

Enjoy!

Seasonally unimpressed

I’ve been working on putting together a new playlist every month but never got around to sharing this one from November—aka the unofficial start of seasonal depression season. I missed making a playlist for December and haven’t gotten around to making one for January yet, but since we’re still in the thick of winter gloom and a collective post-holiday hangover, I think this playlist is still pretty appropriate.

Have a listen!
