Reflections And Foresights





Hello hello, internet folks! A bit of an off kind of post, but still on topic for this blog. I've conjured a few ideas for future posts, but these will be more long term "projects" if that's the correct word.


Essentially, I'd like to really work more on playlist building. One such playlist will be the 2020 playlist which I plan to release at the end of the year, highlighting songs from each of my monthly playlists. A playlist made of playlists; playception! Included with that will be the entirety of each playlist generated this year. That one's around 150 songs at this point, which doesn't sound like a lot; and it isn't really. If I were to include every song from every album it'd just be a mess, but there will certainly be some goodies added in there as well.


Another idea of mine (props if you've made it through this wall of text and are still reading) will be genre specific playlists. It'll take time to build these considering a lot of songs can fit into multiple genres, and artists themselves covering multiple styles. Realistically, these playlists could range from EDM, Indie, Emo, Hardcore, Metal, and several sub genres. I don't want to go crazy with it but considering the amount of material I've collected and listened to over the years it's a bit boggling. It'll take some dedication for sure. 


While you're here, I ought to at least put a song in the post. So here's one of my favorites from a truly legendary musician.




Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds- Sail On

February Roundup Vol. 2

  Shame, shame, shame! I've been quite lazy on the blog front of things lately but I will always try to post my monthly playlists since I'm always looking for new music. FB posts are still at least a few times a week so there's that. Nevertheless, February had a lot of nice music for me, and it'd be a crime to not share some of em. Worst Party Ever- False Teeth This is that perfect sing along type of emo. I've definitely glanced over Worst Party Ever before and I'm glad I finally listened to them. False Teeth is really great but Road Trip is like, wow factor for me. It's vocally reminiscent of another band that I cannot remember but its right there, agh. Regardless WPE will be a frequent listen for me going forward. For The Win- Crash and Burn For The Win is not super unique per se, as you can draw a lot of influences but that's not to say the music is bad. Crash and Burn is a nice feelsy and vocally wholesome song but I cannot help but internally laugh...

A Youthful Summer

A Youthful Summer There's something about certain songs or artists that give feelings of nostalgia or just plain bliss. A Youthful Summer is a playlist built around those long summer days throughout the 2010's. I suppose the aesthetic and nostalgia aspects would be geared towards folks that grew up on some of the music on this playlist. Regardless I feel there are a lot of good musicians being represented here, I hope you enjoy! I like to touch on all of the genres that I enjoy, but this playlist is narrowed down to a few main genres. Pop-punk is easily the most prevalent but realistically the genre appeals to a lot of younger folks. Not a bad aspect by any means but I like the nostalgia the genre evokes.  In terms of overall influence I think the cake goes to A Day To Remember. Their music made "heavier" sounds more accessible to a wide audience. That's where the bit of easycore comes in. Belmont and Lonely Avenue are 2 slightly newer arti...

The 2020 Roundup!

  Man I don't even know how to start this one. 2020 has been an absolutely wild ride from start to finish. I'm sure it's been that way for everyone and it's a year no one will forget. Perspective and growth have been some keys to move forward with and hopefully the world is a little better on the tail end of everything. I'm not here to go on about all of that though, it's 2020 roundup time! A duality of playlists from the beginning of this blog back in February wrapping up this insane year. Let's get into it and look back at a few key bands and songs that got me to this point writing this post! First though, I've got 2 playlists for everyone today. One of them is a full compilation of each monthly playlist that are viewable on this blog. An "exhaustive collection" I call it, although it's only 234 songs. It would be way too much for me to write about everything I listened to over the year, or even on a monthly basis. Most of my monthly roun...
