Remember when I said Spotify loves recommending to me cover songs by an artist of the opposite gender than the original artist? EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL https://open.spotify.com/track/42mpSy8GAtYFpdkMwODYMC?si=_unGT-c3TCmplSce1Nk-Cw

Spotify seems to really be pushing me towards making a playlist all about hating men https://open.spotify.com/track/5AJfahYQ4mbhVMhYFznHVR?si=BGWgQ-uCQMKElI9Xe3URIA

I was recommended a different song on this album, and that’s in the thread here, and honestly I really like most of this album https://open.spotify.com/track/5VgBtslpcAtLF2JmRMesZf?si=wWXZWG5UTR21ABoq4aNWoA

(There are, frankly, far too few love songs with the lyric “I masturbated and thought about you,” and this one meets that need admirably)

Today, a good song to have recommended me when I’m disappointed about not having done much creative stuff lately and am also in the midst of a depressive stretch so am lacking the energy to do much about it https://open.spotify.com/track/55dG0La7vf18Zzzr0i0yFM?si=cAxWZ2QIRLyLLg0PMGVgCw
