Songs of the WEEK ANNUAL REVIEW 2023

I didn’t see light for days, couldn’t feel the first Christmas snowflakes land on my tongue, but it was all worth it—all worth bringing you this year’s annual review on January 10th, 2024. You’re welcome, Idaho.

Exclusively heinous vibes this week. I’m actually doing great, by the way. Everything here sounds about how it looks, though.

Songs of the Week 01/13/2023

I may write like a sadboy, but I refuse to be the saddest boyest out there. "Heart-Shaped Box" was almost on this list, you know. I spared you all from that. Nihilistic ennui is overrated. Like, maybe ennui should all go touch some grass. Ever think about that?

Songs of the Week Annual Review 2022 (Because Someone Needs To Keep Spotify Honest)

I figured now was as good an opportunity as any to enter my own dark horse into the streaming music recap race—a real homegrown replay/wrapped situation. So, as 2022 comes to a close (four days into 2023), let's take a look back at the music that defined my year, and that probably didn't define yours, but here you are, reading about it.

Buckle up, kids, I'm airing out all of my flammable takes while we're still in holiday limbo so I can start this new year pure and angelic. The puffy, white, cartoon gloves are off, and honestly, they're not going back on, because that character design harkens back to blackface performances. Did you know that? Yea. I just shotgun sprayed your childhood, and I'm not even sorry for it. That's right, yea, and this is just the beginning. Ten-thirty, no mercy.
