We music aficionados all had to start somewhere. Deep down, we all harbor a little love for the first musician we ever fell for. The boybands on which we developed our first crushes, the emo groups who finally “got” us, and the bluesy voices that finally awoke our sensitive sides are all so important and our first favorite bands all held some sort of significance for us when we were little.

Playlist: Melancholic Melodies

by Tess Dugan-Knight ’18

Maybe its the lack of sleep, the pressing hangover, weight of last night’s bad decisions, the end of a great weekend, or having to start preparing for the paper due Monday and the test on Tuesday but I find Sundays miserable. All I want to do on Sunday is curl up in my bed and listen to artists that understand my despair. And so it is on Sundays that I put together long and intricate playlists in an attempt to quench my despair and put off writing that paper for at least another few minutes.
