Social Distancing From Cupid
You can miss us with all those arrows this year Cupid, 6-feet away please! Here's a few songs to make your Anti-Valentine's Day less about love and more about distance.
I'm not one to make excuses, but I'm sure we can all agree on blaming Covid-19 for ruining our Valentine's day this year. If there is ANY holiday that should be neutralized in the name of Corona it is definitely Valentine's day. This playlist should lend a helping hand to anyone who feels left out, downhearted, or just downright cramped by the restrictions of Covid-19.
1. Just a Friend-Biz Markie
Most of us have found ourselves unknowingly trapped inside the mystifying borders of the Friend-Zone. Everything seems to be going just as planned and before you know it, you're just a friend. Biz Markie reminds us of how a relationship, or 2020, can start off seemingly great and increasingly became more regrettable.
2. Akon ft. Styles P- Locked Up
I know we all remember Akon's smash hit and prayed we would never have to realize what it felt like to be LOCKED UP. However, Covid-19 has helped provide millions of us with this exact experience and without any end in sight to be seen.
3. My Chemical Romance- I Don't Love You
From misunderstandings, to nasty arguments, or just plain loss of interest, break-ups are a misfortune that have made Valentine's day a nuisance for many of us. My Chemical Romance did an amazing job encapsulating what it's like to get the short-end of the stick when we part ways with someone.
4. Midland-Burn Out
Sometimes there's just nothing we can do to prevent things from going south. (See what I did there?) Midland has been a surprisingly refreshing sound in a genre that is infamous for post break-up songs. Make sure you stock up on cigarettes this Valentine's day, you're gonna need 'em.
5. Johnny Taylor- Too Many Memories
Ever so often we run into that special someone who gives us memories that last us a lifetime and more. If anything is going to drive you over the edge this Valentine's, it's definitely going to be remembering all the good ones you had before.
All things considered, I don't think spending this Valentine's day solo is the worst idea for most of us! With a pandemic that is rising in case numbers exponentially across the U.S., A little less love, and a lot more distance could be a good thing. So hop on the bandwagon, fire up your favorite speaker, and let's allow Covid-19 to take the blame this year!

It's Better to Have Loved and Lost....
I like to consider myself a hopeless romantic so in a way, I do enjoy seeing all the sweet gestures and creative ideas couples come up with on Valentine's day. Nevertheless, it's the endless supply of terrible love ballads that annoy me to no end. I imagine every radio station DJ walks into the studio on the 14th, blows the dust off an old box, and inserts "Valentine's Mix" then throws in some new stuff just for flare. Isn't this holiday supposed to be about going the extra mile? I feel like it's an entire day dedicated to making us relive the nostalgic feeling we would get a 3 a.m. when we heard Celine Dion's "The Power Of Love" playing on the TV. I'm certain someone's dad is digging through an old box looking for that CD right now.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

The Greatest, Most Dynamic, Complex, and Diverse, But Least Popular Musical Genre Yet Invented, May Have Finally Erased an Enduring Blemish
If you are reading this then you are probably a junglist like myself. A lover of drum & bass/jungle music. Because of that fact there are at least three things that I know about you. Number one you are a very cool person with excellent tastes who I'd love to hang out with and happily call a friend. Number two you have had a variation of the following conversation way too many times in your life to count.

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
