May Twenty Twelve

My sophomore year in college I started making monthly soundtracks (and by soundtracks I really just mean playlists.) People often ask me if there's a certain process I go through to pick the songs but to be honest, I have absolutely no criteria. It's often music off new albums or by artists I love but usually every month a random gem will make its way on there. I mean come on, who doesn't love a couple random songs from the 90's?

After twelve months, I replace last year's month playlist with this year's. It's been really fun (and funny) to look back and see what I was listening to the year before or during different seasons of my life. I also am not ashamed to admit that I'm a sucker for a good pop song, so please, don't judge but please, do enjoy!
