About This Blog

 

There's a pretty good chance that you stumbled upon this blog accidentally. If that's the case then I welcome you to read a bit about what's going on here.


I began this blog back in February 2020 as a way to physically (virtually) post playlists that I make via Youtube Music. I've always been really into compiling playlists and lining music up that can flow into one another nicely. As well as making playlists, I'm always looking out for new music to discover and share with people. I'd like to say that I like a bit of everything mostly although I can easily get caught up in 2 or 3 genres for months on end. I try to not reflect that on my posts by coming up with random ways to put music together. Album grab bins, appreciation posts, bands of the month etc.

One of the main issues I come across is my ability to write about the music I'm trying to share. It's difficult to describe music beyond its sound, and to stuff a description with too many adjectives seems elementary. I think this is something that'll come with time and I've already set the rule that I won't post something to just post it. I'm not the type to advertise something that I do if I'm not trying to do it professionally. Everything here is genuine and music I post is music I've listened to and enjoy.


About Myself


Just a dude mostly. I make electronics and love cats, especially my cat. I spend my nights attempting to play my massive backlog of video games but usually end up on YouTube. When it comes to music I'm mostly in love with Post Hardcore (90's, early-mid 00's, 2015-current). A lot of artists tend to have more than one genre to them, or switch styles during their career. It's something I don't try to overthink as I see a lot of gatekeeping when it comes to defending which band is in what genre. I grew up starting out with bands like Nsync and the like, but got into rock around the age of 8. Bands like Switchfoot and Rise Against were some of the earliest introductions for me. Contemporary yes, but still great. Around this time I got into heavier artists like Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot. This as well as growing up with an older cousin sparked a big dive into metal throughout my teens. Big loves to this day are sub genres like Thrash, Death/Deathcore, and Metalcore. I enjoy the more old school artists like Dream Theater, Megadeth, and Metallica etc but I don't listen to them frequently anymore. I'd say over the last 5 years of my life I've mostly listened to Post Hardcore, Indie/Emo, and Pop Punk the most. 


I'm not sure what else to say but I hope that you enjoy going through my content!

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...

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...

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...
