No doubt about it, winter is a depressing time. Sure, it’s cute in December when there’s still the promise of presents, but by February you feel like every falling snowflake is a nail your coffin. And by you I, of course, mean me. But let’s forget about that now, because it’s spring! The grey icey lumps lining the sidewalk have melted, the sixteen trees in all of Manhattan are blooming, and the Ratatat mixtape has found it’s way ^[1] onto the, uh, internets.

Happy music doesn’t cheer me up in the winter, it just reminds me that I’m miserable. But in the spring, some hot beats compliment the shining sun like me kissing my boss’s ass. This spring my anthem will definitely, probably, be Silverchair ^[2]’s (yes, they still exist, they have a new album coming out, and Daniel Johns has grown up ^[3] to be a stone fox) Straight Lines ^[4]. But I’m definitely open to suggestions…

Friends, what music are you listening to, or looking forward to listening to, this spring? What music should I listen to? What should I do with my life?
