10 Oldies But Goodie Albums

Music moves so fast these days that things get lost in the mix. Just when I was starting to listen to 'Lemonade,' Drake released 'Views.' If Beyoncé and Drake read this article, which they probably will, I hope it will inspire them to put some more time between their album releases. You people need to give us peasants time to catch up.

I consider myself a music person. Nothing makes me happier than listening to a song that gives me goosebumps and transports me to a whole different place. There's a Pandora commercial out right now that hits the nail on the head. In the commercial, people are asked how a certain song makes them feel. Each person goes through the wave of emotions that the song stirred up. That commercial comes on at least four times during my Diner, Drive In's and Dives binges, and I tear up every time.

That being said, I'm not the best at staying up to date on new albums. Maybe it's my lack of motivation, but it usually takes me a couple weeks before I learn about a new album. In marketing terms, one could say that I'm a late adopter consumer. (I just finished a marketing class and I wanted to impress people with that term.) So here's a list of albums that you young whipper snappers might have got lost in the noise. Each of them are great, and just like that fateful Pandora commercial, they each mean something different to me. Some make me sad, some remind me of a certain weekend and a couple are just straight classics.

1. Cosmic Troubles-Faith Healers: Don't let the sort of creepy album art turn you off. This album is probably exactly what you want to hear. The year old album, still makes me want to smoke cigarettes in a bar while a beer you've never heard of.

2. 1000 Palms-Surfer Blood: Throw this on while you're driving to the beach with your group of friends in a Jeep with the top down. This is happy, feel good music for your soul.

3. Konk-The Kooks: Remember this one? No one has a gritty British accent like The Kooks' lead singer. Released in 2008, this album got me through my most angsty times. A special shoutout to the track, 'One Last Time.'

4. Elephant Shell-Tokyo Police Club: I distinctly remember listening to this song on my green iPod mini. This is one of those albums where you listen to it and somehow you know all the words to all the songs. I can't remember important things worth shit, but somehow I have this catalog of unnecessary lyrics.

5. Favourite Worst Nightmare- Arctic Monkeys: The Arctic Monkeys changed my life with this 2007 album. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing, no skips or pauses. Guaranteed by the end you're going to want to live in London and wear leather jackets from Camden Market.

6. Carrie & Lowell- Sufjan Stevens: This album is beautiful. I end up in tears 9/10 times I listen to this masterpiece. Each song is so heartfelt and pure that it feels like a page ripped out of Sufjan's diary.

7. Songs for Imaginitive People-Darwin Deez: Listen to the whole album, but especially listen to 'Chelsea's Hotel' a personal favorite of mine.

8.Easy Tiger-Ryan Adams: Ryan Adams will always have a special place in my heart as the first man I've ever had a crush on. His honest lyrics on this album make you want to give him a huge never ending hug. Special shout out to 'Two.'

9. The Money Store-Death Grips: Caution only listen to this album if you're ready to head bang for like forty five minutes straight. This 2012 album is perfect for when you have a terrible day and you need to punch air in your room. Which is what I usually use it for.

10. What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?-The Vaccines: One of my favorite albums of all time. Some songs will make you want to call your ex, some will make you want to punch your ex directly in the face. An awesome roller coaster of emotions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
