i spend a lot of time driving with my dad and idk what that man likes aux wise so i’ve started curating songs he nods approvingly at into a playlist and it’s become my dad aux playlist, incredibly helpful for someone whose taste you may not be so familiar with
It’s soul healing I think. Went to see They Might Be Giants with my dad and cried at Birdhouse thinking about 8 year old me singing it with my dad. We‘ve also seen Belle and Sebastian and Yeah Yeah Yeahs together. He said we just need to see Avril Lavigne and Blondie now and we’ll have seen all the bands we used to cover when I was little (him on guitar me singing). Just go to gigs with your dad, the best gig companion.
This has to be my first rec for 2025, try everything to get where you want to be, love the process, pursue your happiness <3 Happy New Year guys!! AND THE CRINGE OF TRYING IS GOOD
