New year, who dis?
Jokes aside, a ton of stuff happened in the real world since I deigned to appear on this website and scream into the void as I am wont to do from time to time.
I still have a job, which is a small miracle, but I'm trading it in for a younger model. Online teaching is by far one of the worst experiences of my life (so far) and no amount of money can keep me there. Call me a millennial (I am), call me weak (maybe), call me whatever you want (just not mean things to my face because I am delicate) I just know that I can't stay in this position in good conscience until June without having an actual breakdown. You know you don't like your job when you would willingly kill yourself than go, right? That's a good sign it's time to GTFO, right? I'm not just being a wimp? And like, they just... don't have their shit together. For a place that deals with educating the youth of tomorrow, you would think their board administrative team would be a little bit more on top of things.
I digress.
Idiot Americans did trademark Idiot American things by storming the Capitol in defense of Mango Mussolini losing the presidential election, which shocked no one. America as a nation has shown through this global pandemic thing that they are by and large the stupidest people in the room and will invariably believe the easiest lie that you can tell them without blinking an eye. I have family that lives in America and they're split down the middle politically, but what a deep chasm divide that is. So in short, I will be avoiding America for at least the next 5 years. Mostly because I don't want to get the 'rona and I don't trust those chucklefucks to do the right thing and get inoculated to protect themselves and me from getting sick.
Biden became the 46th president of the United States of America. My country's Governor General (a figurehead position similar to Mitch McConnell's head because he don't gots no brains to fill it) was exposed as a toxic human and wanted for vehicular manslaughter. Buckle up, Buckaroos!
Anyways, turn on the news, you'll see all this (and more) so I don't have to figure out what I did for nearly 2 months.
It's time to talk about music. What have I been listening to lately?
To be honest, nothing. My days are filled with 23 7-8yr old's screeching on Zoom for 4-6hrs and then followed by blissful silence. I listen to the radio to get some adult connection during my drive to purgatory work. I download my weekly playlist on Spotify but I rarely listen to it since I messed up my algorithm somehow and it regularly recommends purely ska to me, which naturally, makes me want to blow my fucking brains out in a spectacularly public way for maximum trauma. Who do I need to talk to at Spotify to tell them that Ska makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me?
So in short, this post is spectacularly short because I haven't listened to anything in weeks. Hello, darkness my old friend...

it still counts as my new year post since it's still january. don't @ me.
I am literally one of the worst humans on the face of the planet. Not actually, nor literally, but I am unreliable and possibly just a little bit shit at what I set out to do. Good intentions blah blah blah.
Anyways. Thanks mostly in part to Spotify who likes to remind me regularly that I have questionable taste in music, I have compiled all the shit I listened to last year. Spoiler alert: it's all hot garbage but it made me happy so ya'll will just have to fucking deal.
Cheers. May 2021 bring you all the smiles and stuff that you hoped 2020 would bring until it shit on all your dreams and told you it wasn't mad, just disappointed.
Anyways, the things that were on high rotation for me in 2020 in ascending order after the cut.
