What if Fire Emblem: Three Houses took place in modern times? What music would the characters listen to? This question has been on the outskirts of my mind for quite some time (over a year, in fact), and it never stops intriguing me. I’ll hear a song in the store and think, “I bet Marianne would like this,” or I’ll turn on the radio and … Continue reading Fire Emblem: Three Houses as playlists – Part II
Which is better– road trips with friends, or road trips alone? I myself prefer the solo road trip. Sure, it’s nice to have other people in the car to talk to and keep you awake, but when it’s their turn to control the aux, you’re forced to listen to whatever music they provide. As someone with country music-loving friends, a road trip can go from … Continue reading The ultimate road trip playlist
Now that the world is starting to open up (at least in the U.S.), we can finally start doing things we often took for granted before this whole thing started. One thing I think a lot of people have been missing is being able to chill out at a coffee shop. There’s nothing quite like the coffee shop atmosphere– the overpriced lattes, the smell of … Continue reading Coffeehouse playlist
So often I find myself writing about men. The majority of the posts on this site highlight male-only bands. In fact, when was the last time I reviewed an album by a female artist? When have I showcased a woman-led track as the Song of the Day? (Hint: never.) Even as I’m writing this, I have Jimmy Eat World playing in the background. I don’t … Continue reading Female Focus (playlist)
It probably comes as no shocker that colors and I do not mix. I prefer my life to be dark and dreary. Black clothes? Check. Black furniture? Check. Black shampoo. Check! I blame my parents. They chose to have me knowing fine well that I’d have to grow up in the mid-2000s emo/pop-punk era. Nah, there’s no way they were prepared for the fringe bangs, … Continue reading 40+ colorful songs for summer
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you do something great, people will start to copy it because they think it’s great, too. Sometimes people will put their own spin on it and it’ll turn out amazingly. Sometimes it’ll turn out horribly. Other times, it’ll turn out so well that everyone thinks that version is better than yours, or worse– they’ll forget … Continue reading The best cover songs of all time (playlist)
Summer may technically start on the solstice each year, but I think we can all agree that summer really starts at the beginning of June. If you’re like me and absolutely detest all things sweltering, summer can be a bit of a struggle. Frizzy hair, annoyingly loud air conditioners, and worst of all– the relenting reminder that you can’t wear your favorite hoodie for months. … Continue reading July/2021 Playlist
Ah, the holiday season is upon us. From the somehow always controversial Starbucks cups, to the obligatory ugly sweater Zoom parties you need alcohol to get through, there’s no escaping the potentially-forced merriment surrounding the month of December. It’s the one time each year dedicated to giving, decorating, and listening to Michael Bublé. But 2020 has been a struggle, and if you’re not feeling the … Continue reading December 2020 (non-Christmas) playlist
What if Fire Emblem: Three Houses took place in modern times? What music would the characters listen to? It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, but over the past year, I have accumulated an obscene amount of hours playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Think of a number of hours and double it. It still wouldn’t be high enough. Being the music/gaming … Continue reading What if Fire Emblem characters were playlists?
It’s here, guys. The Spotify Wrapped release date is one of my favorite days every year, 2018 being no exception. I get to dive into my own psyche and try to put together the puzzle that is my life. Who am I based on what I listen to? What does this list say about me? Could the trajectory of my top hits be an indicator … Continue reading Spotify Wrapped 2018: An Introspective Unboxing
