This Too Shall Pass.

Exam week = death.

But I’m doing my best to not let it get to me. I’m taking time for sleep, exercise, church and fun stuff. Like playlists! I got to make a playlist for H earlier today [I only make playlists for people that ask for them] filled with wonderful bluegrass and old country Cash and little music like that.

Lately, I’ve been really interested in branching out my music tastes. Nothing crazy, I still haven’t found much straight rap or screamo that I can stand, but I’ve been feeling a lot of jazz/bluegrass/country/punk. All of which I’m mostly a stranger too, so recommendations are always welcome!

And out of those new listens, I’ve gotten into the whole Celtic-punk feel particularly of bands like Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys. So if you’re new to them, be sure to give them a solid listen.
