Playlist of the Month: February 2025

This is a bit of a weird one, to me. I spent most of the month very sick, and at least half of it, even listening to music was just… a lot. And while I still managed to put together something of a playlist for the month, it’s a bit misleading; a lot of the time, even when I felt up to listening to music, I was doing a lot of “hit shuffle on the playlist, then scrub through the queue and remove a bunch of stuff that still felt like Too Much.”

Still, though, there was a bit of music in the month. If you’d like the whole playlist in one go, here’s the link, or do the piecemeal-with-occasional-notes style below:

This feels like the kind of thing that I should be a little ashamed that I love. ↩

Something about sampling old ads just hits really well, I dunno. ↩

Slowly picking up the lyrics to this one, “silver spoons and butter knives” just sticks right in my head. ↩

Kept thinking to myself “shoutout to the music history classes for helping me understand all these Catholicism references.” ↩
