Listening List Selects: February Edition - is HERE!
Songs from my favorite releases, curated for maximum bop efficiency. 9 hours of emo, punk, and indie goodness, basically a full work shift of emotions.
So clock in, press play, and let the vibes take over.

60 new songs this week, all by small artists that deserve cult followings. You want riffs? Tears? Vibes you can’t legally describe?

I have once again compiled 64 brand new songs that will change your life, ruin your mood, and make you develop parasocial relationships with tiny bands.

yes i disappeared for a month, yes i’m okay-ish now, and YES the Listening List is BACK. With 75 new songs from the past week, this is hotter than a record left in a hot parked car.

Just stumbled on this absolutely killer mathy pop-punk EP that dropped today from a UK band, Ohio Stomach Aches. I can’t find anything else about them online, but this rips. Definitely worth a listen:

Listening to this week’s Listening List is like switching radio stations during an out-of-body experience. One moment? Shoegaze bliss. Next? A song that makes you want to fistfight the sun. 84 songs. 84 tonal shifts so violent I almost called 911.
Listen responsibly.

Spotube is live!
It’s a Python app that syncs Spotify playback with YouTube and plays the music video automatically.

There is some setup, but I tried to make the instructions as clear as possible. I'm honestly terrified to share this. Let me know if you use it.

Scientists say humans can only process 7 new songs at a time. I say, shove 110 into your ears immediately. Might be more music than any reasonable person could consume in a sitting, but you?

You’re built different.
It’s Listening List Wednesday, and the vibes are immaculate.

I didn't finish all that I wanted for this, and feel like it abruptly ended. But, I hope people enjoyed these 💖

HUGE thank you to @podsandracing.bsky.social & @endofthesummr.bsky.social for taking time to make some, I appreciate you both so much. I owe y'all
Happy Valentine’s Day Part 2! 💘Because love (and my scheduling mistakes) deserve a sequel. It's a real thing, trust me.

The last batch of DIY Valentine’s cards are here, to celebrate romance, yearning, and the art of forgetting what day it is. 💌💖

Playlist update drops tomorrow!
Also, I’m moving the weekly updates from Sunday (which, let’s be real, was insane of me) to Tuesday or Wednesday, my actual days off. I love doing this, but stressing myself out sometimes, to hit a self-imposed Sunday deadline? Silly.

ope, if you're a YouTube listener who is awake rn, I haven't fixed those playlists yet. (syncing the playlist to YT can get funky) I'll have it sorted soon.

If you don’t listen to all 96 new songs on The Listening List this week, the playlist will whisper cryptic riddles into your headphones at 3 AM. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
