Playlists

God, do you remember 8tracks? (Are you old enough to remember 8tracks? Fuck, I got old.) They really said "just upload whatever" for a while.

8tracks is a shadow of its former self fuckin' dead, but I found a lot of joy in making bespoke playlists for a while, over a lot of different themes: characters, vibes, quotes. Here's a selection.
