Ive been making a playlist for every single month for the past ten years! ʚ(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )ɞ its so fun to skip back to a random moment in your life and to see what it was soundtracked to :-)

Ah I do this also, usually every few months I make them into cute cassettes that I can listen to whenever I want to like little dairies

Out of curiosity, how does the curation process work here? Do you sit down at the beginning of the month and decide what your songs for the month will be? Or do you add to the playlist as you go along? I'd honestly love to start something like this but I'm not sure how to decide what I want to listen to and what I'll enjoy throughout the month

@OPA101 I’ve also been doing this for 10 ish years and I basically just add songs to it as I think of them or when I hear them for the first time and think I’d like to get to know this song (lol, sometimes I delete those as the month goes on when I realise I don’t like them) - I also add songs in advance, like my august playlist has about 5 songs on it already so I’m starting off strong with July favourites

@OPA101 I also don’t limit myself to that playlist for the month, I frequently go back and listen to old ones (like different July -2016, 2021 or whatever - ones throughout July lol) so often the same songs crop up in months across the years as I’ll add them from those too. It doesn’t have to have any rules basically! and I live choosing the album cover thing on Spotify

do you ever reuse songs or is each playlist fully unique from the others?

i’ve been doing this since 2018 and it’s so cool to see my music taste develop and improve since then, documented month by month! i add songs that i’ve been listening to a lot or songs that were recently released, just whatever i’m in the mood for that month! and i can also kind of revisit times in my life by listening to an old month playlist. also, at the end of the year i compile that year’s monthly playlists into a year playlist, and it’s like a longer and more comprehensive wrapped playlist!

This may will be three years I've been doing it. It feels so important to be able to go back and see what you were listening to in any given month of your life. it's like a barometer of how sad you were.

been doing it since 2020! it keeps track of your listening habits without having to wait for your spotify wrapped
and looking back at your older playlists gives you an unmatched feeling of nostalgia :’)

I carry around a little notebook at all times and make people draw ET for me in it. Its so silly to see what people draw … especially when I ask people who aren’t artists. Its kinda my version of a Rorschach Test ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

I never travel without my mini printer! <3 I love tangible things so being able to print things from my camera roll in real time is so special! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜ My favorite mini printer is the Kodak mini 2 retro! I love it because it prints one color at a time, similar to a riso printer! Its SO fun to watch <3
