every week, i’ll discuss a song i think is particularly influential or special. stuff here tends to be older, more obscure and follows my general listening trends/favorite artists at the moment. genre-wise, it leans towards punk and shoegaze.
if you want to suggest any songs, feel free to do so on the home page! i will review them at song of the week-N.
