Great work!! Will shuffle this playlist this week - assuming it was meant to be heard on shuffle? i tried to do the same project, and came about 20 songs short. Guess I could just add 20 songs today lol but would lose some of the "meaning" as you stated. I did great through March but often found myself forgetting for like a week and then struggling to keep up!
Only doing 7 this year. 1. Julien Baker - Little Oblivions 2. Lucy Dacus - Home Video 3. Snail Mail - Valentine 4. Japanese Breakfast - Jubilee 5. Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time 6. Indigo De Souza - Any Shape You Take 7. Turnstile - GLOW ON Honorable Mentions 8. Every Time I Die - Radical 9. Mini Trees - Always in Motion 10. Faye Webster - I Know I’m Funny haha
My super random guess is maybe the feelings / enjoyment drop off significantly after #7. Or maybe that user is a big fan of odd numbers lol
