April playlist
When I think of April, I think of yellow. And now I’m only thinking about “Yellow” by Coldplay. I mean, I love the band and this song, but that music video was so uninspired. He’s literally just walking in the same direction, at the same location, for 4 minutes, 32 seconds. I came here to write something zazzy about April and whatever, but here I … Continue reading April playlist
5 songs we still listen to from 2007
Nostalgia is a fun thing. From time to time, we find ourselves going back to the good ol’ days, pulling out photos, trying on outfits we swear we used to fit into, and listening to whatever music was on our first iPods. “I can’t believe I used to listen to this garbage,” you say as you quickly skip over the High School Musical soundtrack, even though … Continue reading 5 songs we still listen to from 2007
March playlist
MARCH. That’s a fun month. It’s both a month and a verb. It’s the only time of year when you get to drink Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s and pretend to be Irish. It also holds a day most people desperately look forward to: the first day of spring. I hate spring. It’s the worst.

Top 5 Killers songs (And none of them are ‘Mr. Brightside’)
Las Vegas band The Killers have been teasing a new album to follow up their 2012 release of Battle Born for a good six months or so, and it’s about time. Five years without these Springsteen-wannabe, former eyeliner-wearing rockers has been five years too many. Lead vocalist Brandon Flowers has spent the hiatus putting out his sophomore solo album, The Desired Effect, and as much … Continue reading Top 5 Killers songs (And none of them are ‘Mr. Brightside’)
January playlist
Welcome to 2017. A fresh start and a new you is emerging into a bright future and things are looking up. Just kidding. Things suck. But you know what?
