It’s been a week, a month, a year of upheaval around these parts, and today’s playlist theme has been chosen to reflect upon this. The bedroom is being renovated, the highway is being repaved, careers are being shifted, our old home is gone and a new site is taking its place.
Sometimes the trappings we surround ourselves with get dull and boring, or maybe they just aren’t working as well as they once did. When that happens it’s time for a renovation. Tear it down and build it anew. Nothing is so satisfying as looking upon your completed project and knowing you made a thing.
Here’s a little playlist to soundtrack your reconstructive impulses. What songs would you add to it?
Good morning!

Maybe not totally in keeping with the theme but since you asked @zammy I’d add Start Again by Shred Kelly.

Had one of them most amazing and emotional concert experiences of my life last night – for those who might be interested it turns out the the Hip kept back some tickets that are being released now for sale, so you can still go. I would highly recommend this even if you aren’t the biggest fan.

anyone recall another new wave-ish 80s song about a holiday? I can’t recall the band
not Madonna or the Go-gos.
thought it was the Silencers, but I was wrong

pretty sure the band was from st paul/minneapolis, which is why I thought Silencers, but that’s just because they’re first album was A Letter from St Paul
