finally a new playlist. this one took a long time to publish, sorry about that. it had been completed for a while but i couldnt get any ideas for that damn cover art and then i spent too much time in the hospital compiling other lists. i hate that how that happens, youre trying to finish one project but already in your mind youve got four other projects lined up and your mind is ready to work on those and not the one youre currently working one. sheesh!
anyway, this one is perfect for filling up the bathtub with bubbles and just being there. give yourself a time out from time to time in the bath and just chill. its been my new thing this year to take more baths and just relax and it definitely works in getting rid of stress. my purple hair though leaves traces of blue pigment in the water so by the time im done relaxing i have bath full of blue water and soooo that led to this playlist. haha enjoy:
tumblr, it’s that time again. how did a year go by so quickly? why did i put this off for so long knowing this day was going to come? i dunno. i’ve been living, tumblr, just living. i’ve been spending all my time working on costumes and listening to oldies and trying to squeeze in time with the boy of my dreams (which doesn’t happen as often as id like bc im a busy bee!). so it took me forever to get this done mostly because my musical tastes as of late have been all over the radar…much too crazy for a cohesive themed playlist so forgive me for the lack of panache in this one.
i wrote a bunch of stuff right here and decided to just erase it. it doesnt matter. just stick to the basics, if you haven’t found that one, keep looking. when you do, spend your love well. that’s all. i saved you a boring paragraph, phew!

so september is coming to a close and i’m finally accepting the fact that my summer has actually ended. ohhhh welll nothing gold can stay! wah wah. hahaha so here’s this playlist i’ve been keeping to myself this entire time.
it’s been quite a while since my last playlist. it took me the entire summer to compile this one together and originally it wasn’t ever going to be published but well, here we are. i made this for someone in particular even though i was told playlists were very “obvious and juvenile” although we’ve argued over whether or not he said it was actually juvenile i’m just going to go ahead and say he did. hahah.
my gay boyfriend christopher is studying abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia this summer and as a parting gift i made him this playlist. chris isn’t used to the music i listen to so i made him this playlist with every intention of expanding his musical taste. i threw in things that i knew he could possibly like and that would definitely keep him company on his long ass flight. i hope you have a fantastic summer kiddo, keep tumblr-land posted on your russian adventures.
it’s been a while since my last playlist. i got pretty consumed by the dance show and trying to graduate so cut me some slack. haha. i would like to point out though that i took my last final today and this means i’m pretty much done with school (crossing my fingers i pass lighting class) & i graduate this saturday! ^_____^ so naturally this means i have time for playlists haha.
this one has been a work in progress for like, four months now. i know. it just never felt complete. then Craft Spells released Idle Labor and the first track just became the central focus for this playlist that lacked direction. i wasn’t going to make this one public, but i keep dreaming about it (yes, i dream of playlists) and i feel like it’s time to fully let go. i can’t make another playlist without finishing this one, i just can’t. and i’ve got others planned so, this just needed to happen. yes, like all other playlists, this one has a story and a specific order in which the tracks should be played. but i mean, whatever, you listen to them however you want :)
well. here we are. this is a playlist especially made for the tall drink of water in the ‘stang. i’m very well aware that it’s a hopeless cause, a pointless chase, a shot in the dark. however, i’m really proud of this playlist. this is proof that i can still feel—that i’m not as dead as i thought i was. so for that, i thank him. for helping the numbness subside. you truly are the Trent to my Daria. although this playlist will be very much unappreciated, and possibly resented or receive a lot of negative energy, i’m still glad it exists. Funny how that sounds like a representation of me—rough around the edges, but with good intentions, and always, always unappreciated. i’m not the prettiest face, i’m not your desired size zero, i’m ill-tempered and strongly opinionated, but deep down there’s actually a heart full of good intentions. lol what is this emo shit? lol. download this playlist, i know if at all, you kids will appreciate it. pass it on, make copies and give it to the person who makes you feel.
hey guys! it’s that time again! this is now the 4th year i do this and i must admit, it’s becoming one of my favorite things to do. originally i had intended to make 40 mixtapes and mail them out like i did last year, but time has not been on my side as of late. plus i’ve been going through one of those bizarre stages of life when you begin to question if doing certain things even matter anymore. So a bit disillusioned with the whole snail mail deal, i decided to at least still post this mix. Hopefully some of you will listen and download although it’s not as personal as receiving a personalized tape. sigh. forgive me please!
at first listen, this will probably sound like the most schizophrenic mix i have ever made. however, there is a reason for that. in between all the heartbreak we feel, somehow there are always spurts of good feelings that return to us in several different forms—whether they be flashbacks, little reminders or just by innocent coincidences. they sure as hell are unexpected most of the time but they never cease to bring a smile to your face while simultaneously tugging at those darn heartstrings. i feel like that’s what this mix is, those feelings of absolute misery that oftentimes get interrupted by memories of feelings that once were, for lack of a better word, perfect.
but you know, sometimes we need a break from heartbreak. if there’s something i have learned from my dear friend jens lekman it’s that the end of the world is bigger than love. our broken hearts are only a small part of who we are and we have to keep going. there are other facets of our lives that can fulfill us when there is an emotional void. yes, its easy to say and very tough to actually put into action, but if you just keep reminding yourself that there are bigger things than love, you can make it through. perhaps your pain and suffering will never end, but there will be other fractions of life that can make you feel less hollow, even if it’s just for a short period of time.

everything’s coming at me all at once it seems. but in reality, i’ve seen all the warning signs and i’ve ignored them. it’s almost like i’m a ticking time bomb ready to just explode. it’s not even just emotions anymore. it really is everything. what am i doing? where am i going? is this even important anymore? where is my place? do i even want to do this anymore? do i still care? what’s it all for? how do my actions/decisions affect others? how do they affect me? i am just one little person in a very big big world and every day that passes is one step closer to shedding this bubble that has been suffocating me. but has it been suffocating me or has it just been nurturing me?—protecting me from the outside world? i dunno man, i’m just trying not to drown. that is all. the problem is i seem to have forgotten how to swim. and if that’s not frightening enough, the fact that i can’t even recognize myself when i look in the mirror puts me in this crazy funk and all i can feel is being numb. it’s not so much that i’m frightened, it’s more that i can’t seem to find myself in any corner of this very big universe.
^^i wrote that on tuesday night elsewhere. lol. i thought it was necessary to understand where the following playlist came from. the crisis is anything but over, but at least i have a sweet playlist to get me through it. sigh.
