Tonight I will be listening to my #MoodFixPlaylist and try not to freakout about the impending collapse of society.

Hey Now Now by the #CloudRoom is a good song for this mood, since it was written when the lead singer had an HIV scare and was waiting to get a test back and was singing to make himself less nervous.

I'm not sure exactly what the lyrics mean in "Could Be Machine by #Celeste, but it sounds like she is dealing with some shit, and the manic driving pace of the song is perfect for my #MoodFixPlaylist.

Still infuriated by the #Democrats, so listening to "(Give Me Fucking) Zen" by #KFlay and #XAmbassadors.

Adding Giving up to You by #WildBelle to my #MoodFixPlaylist. A wonderful driving beat that is impossible not to tap your toes to.

I think #BrushyOneString is an inspiration for showing that you can get amazing results with 1/6 of the complexity that people think a process requires.

The news of the #Democrats caving on health insurance has me listening to my #MoodFixPlaylist in an attempt to keep my blood from literally boiling.

"The Party Line" by #BelleAndSebastian seems like an appropriate song right now (in name and manic energy, if not relevant lyrics).

Adding Santa Fe by #ZachCondon aka Beirut to my #MoodFixPlaylist. The Flying Cup Club is one of my favorite albums of all time, but this song might even surpass all of the tracks on there.

Content warning: The music video features death and depression.

Adding Beast by #AgnesObel to my #MoodFixPlaylist. The repetitive percussive piano melody really grabs the beat of my #ADHD brain, and then exactly one minute in, the song really takes flight.

Still listening to this #FoxyShazam album on repeat after almost two full months. It keeps getting better and better despite all of the dozens of times I've heard it.

Definitely adding Unstoppable to my #MoodFixPlaylist, and look at this video! #EricNally really might be the best front man of any band right now, with serious #FreddyMercury vibes.

The #FoxyShazam album keeps getting better and better as I've listened to it dozens of times. The second track, "Wanna-be Angel", is another one of my favorites, especially since it is about #masking in order to get other people to like you:

"For you I wear this mask
At home I tear it off
'Cause I don't need it
No, I don't need it at all!"

That being said, the "I'm not gay at all" line is not great, even though it likely comes from being being a victim of other people's #ToxicMasculinity.
