I went from musty to musky and y'all cant mush me

So I've been dealing with a long list of things that are not good lately, and despite all that, schoolwork and other things keep coming.  So I need something to lift me up out of the uncomfortable muddling dreck that my life tends to be these days...and what better way to do that than by also sharing with people? After all, we are all having to deal with a winter that won't go away, and finals and papers and midterms that are either breathing down our neck or biting off our heads.  So here's a little music mix that I made, composed of songs that make me a happy, dancey, not-focused-on-moping person.  And even though listening to the music doesn't make my life not difficult or sucky, at least it makes it tolerable in a nice way, like breaking your leg and then sitting on a really comfy couch to rest.  Anyway, it's a decent mix of hip-hop, soul, pop, and some older stuff.  Enjoy, it's free!

in SO many ways!

I tend to enjoy most of what Married to the Sea/Natalie Dee/Toothpaste for Dinner has to offer, but this has a special place for me:
