Good day, friend! I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been busy the past few weeks with midterms and other assignments, but I’ve still found the time to listen to music. It’s my job, after all!

Yves Tumor – “Kerosene!” By: Jesse Benitez I know I slacked a little these past few days by not keeping up with the “Track of the Day” posts, but I guarantee you, this song alone (and quite possibly this entire album), makes up for all of it. Released as a single prior to Yves Tumor’s …

The Wombats – “Let’s Dance To Joy Division” By: Alexandria McAlpine Twice a year, I pick a song to represent my semester.
