PUP | I think PUP is my favourite band? I can’t really explain why but their music makes me feel vindicated, seen, a little jaded, alive, but also kind of cute all at the same time. Just like these Pups. | Toasted Toons Takes Toronto Punk pt. 2 (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTi_OEpQAo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Sorry about your broken heart, I’m trying to walk on broken glass. Do it all again for art.” | Groceries by Mallrat | You might think from these lyrics that this is another breakup song but it’s actually about having a new crush and daydreaming about all the ways that being with them would make life better. | There is something so uplifting about developing a new crush after a bout of heartache. It takes courage to make yourself vulnerable again, but at the end of the day - I’d do it ALL again for art. (at Toronto Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3PeRrJa4u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Call it like it is - you’re making an aesthetic out of not doing well and mining all the bits of you you think you can sell” // The 1975 (BFIAFL) - The 1975 // The opening track of every 1975 album is a social observation and commentary of the times. It sets the tone of the band’s environment and influences that impacted the album in some way. The opening track on Being Funny In A Foreign Language (BFIAFL) paints a post-pandemic landscape that pollutes the lives of young people with social trends . Bleak as it all might seem, technology and social media has lead to the a desire to make an aesthetic out of every minuscule aspect of our lives.

Have you found a place that’s deeper than the corners of your mind?🔮// Methuselah - San Fermin // Genius Lyrics describes Methuselah as “A song about dealing with the feeling of loss that doesn’t disappear, but rather lingers on your brain and manifests itself in various in-congruencies.” // I have a long history with this song and San Fermin’s first album but the Genius description captures the essence of it all better than I could.

“Why’d you have to have such a damn good taste in music? If all my favourite songs make me think of you I’m gonna lose it.” // Lose It - SWMRS // Shout out to the Spotify algorithm for introducing me to this song at a time when I needed to imagine that all I ruined a song or artist for every boy I dated. I believe in lyrically inspired day dreams as a healthy act of self-preservation and I don’t have any plans to change this behaviour. // PS. Lose It is the last song on the SWMRS 2016 album Drive North and there is something serendipitous about that for me because I have experienced the emotional rollercoaster of taking a spontaneous road trip to escape reality and societal responsibility.

“Will you risk your sanity (plus all the other things you might not end up liking about me)? Do you promise to love me more than you might hate me? - So I’ll stay sober (or at least smoke a little less weed), if you’ll live closer to me.” // now THIS is podracing by Mom Jeans. This song is one of my breakup staples because it reminds me what it feels like to be in love but it also reminds me that men ain’t shit.❤️‍🔥 (at Toronto Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7yhHhJCrl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Toronto Pop Culture Candy Hearts // Valentine’s Day Hearts pt. 3 // For the city that has my heart, my Toronto Valentine❤️‍🔥6️⃣These are a few of my favourite things in the city of Toronto; West End Institutions, Concert Venues, Parks, and most importantly Breakfast Sandwiches.

Expectation vs Reality / Pop Culture Candy Hearts // Valentine’s Day Hearts pt. 2 // “Always and Forever” for Nathan and Haley who provided 2010’s teenagers with wildly high expectations of romance but also somehow made me believe in love. // Unfortunately, my current love life can’t even begin to relate to a Naley type of love. The rest of the set is the reality of the current dating climate. (at Ontario, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coq0A5-sncA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Everything that I said I’d do, like make the world brand new, and take the time for you, I just got lost and slept right through the dawn, and the world spins madly on” // The World Spins Madly On - The Weepies // There are certain songs that spark an instant emotional connection in a person the first time they hear it. This song from The Weepies 2005 album Say I Am You was one of those songs for me. The first time I heard it my chest swelled and as I listened to the lyrics that made loss and regret sound romantic my eyes spilled over with tears. // It’s important to note that this first listen also took place while watching One Tree Hill (Season 3, Episode 13) and the accompanying scene is about devastating loss so my emotional reaction was absolutely the desired response. // If you are watching (or re-watching) One Tree Hill now on Amazon Prime you will have noticed how well soundtracked the show is. One Tree Hill morphed my taste in music significantly and introduced me to many artists that I still listen to 15 years later. Consider this a warning of many One Tree Hill references and captions to come. (at Tree Hill, NC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CocsNq9OVN4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I don’t wanna be your fucking dog, that you drag around. A collar on my neck tied to a pole, leave me in the freezing cold.” // Your Dog by Soccer Mommy // The last time I went through a major breakup I played this song (and the entire Clean album) on repeat. So much so that when an acquaintance crashed with my roommate they asked her if I played guitar because all she could hear were these acoustic Indie-Sad-Girl songs. Soccer Mommy is my mellow Sad Girl day dream and I’ll love her forever. Kluvyoubye. (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXrveTOapM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Breakfast Boys are my kind of boys.🥞Do you think the guys from Thin Lizzy ever sat around a wooden kitchen table eating bacon and eggs together? I bet they did and that’s so cute. Breakfast buds are my favourite. (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPnx83OVqJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Obviously Talking Heads. This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) is timeless and perfect in every rendition. I know this to be true because I have made a playlist exclusively of Naive Melody covers and I listen to it regularly. Books are home and home is where I want to be.

“Sit back and I’ll drive you to all the pretty places, pull us away from where the pain is” // Pretty Places by Aly and AJ. This song perfectly encapsulates the road trip feeling - that unique brand of freedom and sporadic existential dread. If you haven’t listened to Aly & AJ’s 2021 album ‘a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun’ you can’t even begin to understand how this music feels like sunshine. Don’t judge artists by their Disney Channel roots!! (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLYMBCJ6tE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
