The Playlist

A list of what I’m currently listening to during the week. This will also serve as a place for me to update my favorite albums of the year list as I come across new stuff. I’ve added a list of currently readings as well. If you want a full list of books I’ve finished lately, or how I’ve rated them, check out my Goodreads page.

Now Playing:

Currently digging into From the Pyre, the most recent release from The Last Dinner Party. Would recommend. Honestly, might have to move it above the Prewn album at some point…
