Mixtape

[Rootersfriend]

Ok so I'm obsessed with music. I'm one of those people who always needs something on in the background. And when I can't then I have something playing in my head or that I'm singing.

So here's my thought, I've always pictured what I listen to to sort of be my soundtrack. I have my go to's for when I'm happy, sad, mad, whatever. Different music "feels" like different seasons to me (ex. Margot And The Nuclear So And So's is fall music, Bjork is winter music, etc...I can't explain it it's just how it feels to me). So this could go a few ways. I'm curious to hear what some of your "soundtracks" are. So here's a few options and we can go from there but I need your input:

Option 1: Just throw out a bunch of songs/artists you really like (meh, kind of boring)
Option 2: Make a playlist for your perfect day-explaining the events that make up your perfect day and the music that goes with it
Option 3: Make a playlist for a mood (Here's my angry playlist, etc...)
Option 4: Make a playlist for each season <---This is where I'm leaning but it's up to you all!

Aaaannnnd GO!

Wow you weren't kidding around there, haha huge list. I haven't heard of a lot of those. Cool stuff man. I'll have to really think hard about what and how I want to construct my playlist, I mean I have some pre-made ones, but so much of it depends on the season, and then my mood within that season. It's a much more complicated process than it probably should be haha
