I love the new Ethel Cain album! I like having some drone music playing while I'm reading and I can definitely see myself listening to this while reading a fucked up horror novel

My midwestcore 2024 playlist

Better than Chemicals by Courtesy

The new Courtesy single rocks!! Everything comes together so well, it's transcendent

I love this EP! Groovy, cosmic indie rock, very solid

It's crazy having a name like Wade bc occasionally someone uses it in a sentence as a verb and I just have to act normal even though it shakes me to the core

Maybe I was wrong about you, earnest exclamation point! Or maybe your usurpation of the period's domain is ungodly and garish.

Me and the most beautiful drag queen in all of Wisconsin, Anna Vyvanse

Last night I drove to Madison for a drag show and put together a playlist for the drive

Big show in precisely one week can we get some shares on it?

1 share = 1 taco I will eat outside the venue at this gig

Now that I've listened to Foxing's entire discography and cried, I can get this day started!

Doomer is a heavy shoegaze song I wrote about human nature and feeling hopeless about the current state of the world. Unfortunately after this last election I can't say my attitude has changed. Grateful to have found this app where everyone's good vibes have been helping my mental state quite a bit!

December by Neck Deep is one of my fav songs and the new illuminati hotties cover is EXCELLENT
