Artists to Get You Through the Spring

This music is the only reason I'm functioning

Artists to Get You Through the Spring
Psychologies

Music listening largely depends on mood, but it also depends on season. There's a reason I love warm and cozy jazz in the winter and bright psychedelic rock in the summer. However, spring finds itself to be a hard one to find a musical taste for and to properly get through the transition season it is to the much warmer and consistent summer months. However, that does not mean it is impossible and therefore I have compiled a list of the best music to listen to the next couple of months.

1. Queens of the Stone Age

This quirky band out of California has a harder rock feel but also delves into other forms of the rock genre. A great listen for any gray spring day, or sunny day outside walking in the city. Their sound is haunting at times and generally a little darker but in a palatable way.

2. The Bamboos

A band that styles itself in a more soulful manner, they incorporate a sort of psychedelic sound with traditional funk rhythms. Hailing from Australia, they bring a unique sound and a consistently evolving history. Perfect for a rainy spring day spent next to the café window doing finals work or taking a lunch break from the office.

3. Kasabian

An old band that's been up to some new tricks lately, Kasabian, from everyone's favorite rock music haven of Leicester, England is great for any spring day. Kasabian gives us a rock sound with electronic elements that make for a rare sound. Kasabian doesn't fit one surefire genre, which is great for a variety of playlists you may want to test them out on.

4. Royal Blood

This band formed in 2013 in Brighton, UK, has a noticeably darker sound that still works for feeling spring. With their music giving a feel for an underground rock concert, the driving rhythms and slightly moaning lyrics give you a good listen for a day of angst before we finally get to summer.

5. The Arcs

While the Black Keys take a break due to Patrick Carney's shoulder injury, Dan Auerbach has started a side project with Leon Michaels called The Arcs. This project is definitely Auerbach experimenting with his more neo-folk sound that he gives even more of a taste with on Turn Blue, his last Black Keys album. It's perfect for the warmer, summer preview style days of spring that have us out in our flowy sheer tops and oversized sunglasses.

6. The Raconteurs

This collection of established rockers, most notable featuring Jack White, has a slightly pop feel but is more of an alternative rock style. Perfect for a day outside in the sun when the warmer part of spring finally happens, the lighter rock style is really great for any spring playlist.

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.

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.

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.
