NOTES
- I hadn't listened to anything for like the entire last week of March so going 6 days into April as well is like a life record of non-listening.
- I listened to like half a Lilith Fair lineup this month
- Goddamn I listen to my own music way too much
- Man I listened to the most un-420 music on 420
- You saw that right. 98 Degrees. "NOW! That's What I Call Christmas" 2-Disc set. Monica. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME.
- I don't have strong enough feelings about this playlist to make any other observations right now
