Once again, I just turned on my favorites and let YouTube decide. I’m not unhappy with how this turned out actually …

Another week, another deep dive into my favorites that I forgot about …

The original text for this post had me all cheerful – it’s Julyyyyyy! – but in light of the past week, I just don’t really think it’s appropriate to feign a positive attitude; I can’t just bury my head in the sand and hope that everything will get better. But I still need to focus on school. I’m headed into a pretty intense six or seven weeks with my final clinical rotation, and that means that I will be in a position to help people with a uterus. I just have to pass the NCLEX.
Sigh.
So I just hit shuffle on my liked videos, resulting in a set of pure randomness, which thankfully had a lot of chill songs. Enjoy.

I am absolutely thrilled that Kate Bush is getting her due. My mom introduced me to her when I was a kid; she has several of her vinyl records, and I remember that she used to wake me up by blasting “Babooshka” (and occasionally “Wild Women Do” from the Pretty Woman soundtrack) at the highest possible decibels her ancient speakers could manage. It annoyed me then, but I can honestly say I kind of miss it?
Anyway, as a celebration of Kate Bush’s successes, I’m doing a whole “on rotation …” of my favorite songs of hers (other than “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”). Enjoy! And spread the love that is Kate Bush!!

My body is melting … and it’s only June. #cries

I wonder how long it will be before I can say I’m well-rested. Not in the near-future, methinks. Send caffeine.

In but two days, it will officially be June 2022, which is so bizarre to me because it was, like, just June 2021. The music I’ve been listening to has definite summer vibes, though, and it’s a place I could live indefinitely. I’m one of those forever summer people, partially because my extremities almost never stay warm, so if I can channel it even a little early, I’m here for it.
And as always, head on over to YouTube for the full May 2022 playlist!

You know, I was going to do themes for this particular series of posts, but each time I try to make it a regular thing, I always go back to my “pure randomness” way of selecting songs, so … I think I’m just going to have those be the exceptions. Something to do when I have the time to think of shit to center a playlist around or if I get a wild hair up my ass. Hell, I may not do any introductions whatsoever? Just have y’all jump right in with my favorite tracks for the week.
Meh, I’ll make that decision at some point, but not today! Today is for … doing nothing, methinks.
Anyway, without further ado, here’s this week’s playlist!

I’ve been doing a lot of reevaluation lately because … well, it’s a long story – one that I’ll be doing a post on very soon, maybe even this week – and I’m still processing a lot of shit. Naturally, this means I’ve been distracting myself with all sorts of things, like studying, drawing, painting, and listening to new (to me) music.
Thankfully, YouTube Music’s algorithm has gotten better at suggesting different artists to sample, but there’s still quite a bit of work I need to do. It doesn’t help that it includes some of the other videos I watch over on YouTube itself, which can make curated playlists a wee bit weird. And it includes artists that I am not fans of (I’m looking at you, Lords of Acid). But then again, Spotify had years of information regarding my listening choices, and they were quite piss poor when I started there, too. I even complained to my then-husband that I preferred Pandora, which I’ve actually considered listening to again now that I’ve dropped Spotify.
What a weird, cyclical world we live in.
But anyway, here are some of the results from my new and improved musical suggestions, and as always (since last week), feel free to head over to my YouTube playlist!

As I head into finals week, I am a bit … scattered. School’s been rough this semester, especially the last month, and I’ve been in kind of a down place despite taking my meds. But with these stupid tests looming over me, I’m in this fun limbo of neither great nor horrible, where I’ll be until later on this week.
Otherwise known as “did I pass or not?” that’s become a fun part of nursing school.
Until then, I’m going to be listening to music that makes me happy. Not that any of the other “on rotation …” playlists haven’t been songs that I love – that’s kind of my shtick on here – but a lot of these are throwbacks to happier times.
So … enjoy! Oh, and welcome the new featured image! I figured it was about time to retire “midday dewdrops” for something more musically connected.
Oh and ALSO! I’m starting to create monthly YouTube playlists just in case anybody wants to take a look-see: just click HERE for May 2022. 🙂
Alrighty, I think I’m ready to get into the actual music here.
