Found Someone’s CD Collection On The Sidewalk →
Have you ever seen a 1,000 CD Case Logic lying on the sidewalk? It’s upsetting.

– The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

i’ve always been a list maker but this break is covered in lists. there are lists all over my phone, in word documents all over my desktop, on pieces of paper all over my bed and floor, all over up in my head. lists of songs i’m not listening to, lists of songs i want to be listening to, lists of songs i can listen to, lists of things to do, sublists of things to do for each thing on...
i honestly have no mental concept of which albums came out in 2011 and which didn’t so here’s just a two-part zip file of what i was listening to this year
