February 2009: Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell

So for the past thirteen months I have been making a playlist for every month of the year. I used to burn them and listen to them in my car but that whole ritual was thrown out the window the second some douche decided to steal my car's stereo. These playlists are made up from the songs/bands Ive been listening throughout the month. So theyre usually new songs or discoveries. I get about thirty albums per month and I just put them on my itunes and now and then one comes up and catches my ear and I will add the song to the playlist. I do have a rule though, no more than two songs per band per playlist. Anyways, I also like naming them because I like naming shit. The name is normally taken out from a lyric or a title from one of the songs. Ive also ordered them in a way that I think the album will flow smoothly and delicately.

This time was a bit difficult because my itunes playlist got erase cause of a virus so I had to remember the whole thing but I only remembered about 80%. Here it is anyways.


By the way, the songs turned out to be very emo and they're mostly about unrequited love so there yuh go, if youre a psychologist go and figure. Don't ask me why but that's just how it is. This time I will highlight in yellow the bands playing at SXSW.
