music to my ears

So it's 2013, finally. We survived the end of the world, enjoyed (or rather tolerated) the company of family during christmas (or whichever holiday you celebrate--or maybe you don't), and felt the lack of excitement as the ball dropped (or was that just me?). (And yes, I understand these things all happened over more than 14 days ago but I felt like I lacked a big 2013 new year post, so here it is.) But more importantly, I had the chance to stay up late at night spending countless hours surveying the internet and Spotify for new music during my break. And when I say "new", I use that term quite loosely. Sure, I love finding new albums put out by some of my favorite, or soon-to-be favorite artists and bands, but I also find some sort of thrill in rediscovering hidden tracks that I've never heard of. Older music that I've yet to uncover is just as good as gold in my eyes. So, I'd like to share these treasures with the interwebz via Spotify. Playlists in the past range from random ones such as

• ✓✓✓
• ☺☺☺☺☺
• happy underground, etc. 

...to playlist that had a certain purpose such as...

• ☾ which are a combination of songs that make me love depressed, love sappy, love mad, love etc. 
• ☆★☆, a few random EDM songs I wanted to save
• getting colder, a short playlist that include songs that make me feel like curling up in my bed with a cup of tea and a good book and wishing for some snow already
• (~¬‿¬)~ a phenomenal combination of songs to ski to if I do say so myself

You get the idea, right? But I decided that, since I love music and making playlists and just loving life while doing so, I'd start posting some on here. And why not start now?

This one is quite a mish-mosh of random yet perfect
songs that I thought everyone would benefit listening
to.

Does anyone recommend 8tracks? I know a bunch of people use it, but I really enjoy spotify. Also, comment on how you like my music yay
