Mike
Hi, I’m Mike, this is where I write about shitty music. I once had a blog in like 2001? I miss that internet.
Every year I keep playlists of the songs that hit me, the ones that make me feel something. I never really looked back at them. This blog is me finally doing that: going through them one at a time to figure out what they say about where my head was. Turns out a playlist is a diary you didn’t know you were keeping.
2026
Ya '25: turning it up, then back down
My first playlist of 2025: newer songs, a lot more energy in the middle, and the year I got into Mac Miller.
2024-09: night walks and a new sound
My second playlist of 2024: seven songs, all late-night R&B, the fall I found Daniel Caesar and first thought about writing these up.
Ya: the first playlist of 2024
Fifteen songs that hit me in early 2024, and what they say about where my head was.
