While editing this piece I was listening to Pelican's instrumental doom metal album, What We All Come to Need. Very loudly. It's wonderful for editing, but if you're looking to get romantical, I suggest Ani's playlist

Wow I just checked out what I think is the right album and it’s giving what a weirdly optimistic and encouraging psychopomp would play whilst leading me to the afterlife and I was stoked. That would be a great afterlife gig for you if you’re into that kinda thing.

Omg, thank you for the oxytocin boost. This is EXACTLY the post I needed to read today (election anxiety running sky high). You’re so right, absolutely nothing hotter than a long make out session to a good playlist!

Thanks for saying that, Heather! My election anxiety is also at a peak (as I'm sure is most everyone's reading this), so it felt like this little moment of counter programming could actually be beneficial. Oxytocin for everyone!

Beautiful. About to listen to the playlist (even though I’m working and sadly not making out, haha)

My favorite Led Zeppelin song to make out to is probably Tangerine. I love that you have Alabama Shakes on here.
