If you are a reseller, buy these two items. They will save your bacon...and time. Dymo 4XL and Accuteck 50lb scale. The dymo is essentially free printing for life. Labels are dirt cheap and no toner or tape needed again. The scale is accurate and quick...and handy for FBA packages as it goes to 50 pounds. The time and effort these two items save will easy pay for themselves in short order. #ebayseller #dymo #accuteck #saynototoner #nomoretape (at Uptown, Chicago)

everything’s rose.

This is a weird one. I suppose it’s more about mood than anything else... I wanted to focus on the idea of songs/sounds that shouldn’t go together or that wouldn’t be considered to “fit” on a playlist but show that they can. And also the idea of going from different moods... the sweetness of the Ryan Beatty & Brockhampton songs to the switch to more tense sounds like clipping and Ty Segall. Anyway, it’s odd and eclectic and I really enjoy it and hope you might too. (I almost titled it kanye is blonde, so you can think of it that way if you want)

UP TOO LATE

I really like this one... it‘s for when you’re up too late & in your feelings. Like, you’re sad about a boy but maybe want to dance or just get really sad & cry. It started w/ Don’t Leave Me Lonely from the new Mark Ronson album (which is a killer song) which I heard and automatically thought of Not This Time by 2 Bears which took me to Ever Again because I’ve been into the new Robyn album and then it was a playlist.

2019, SO FAR...

So, June is nearly over which means we’re halfway through the year & I wanted to one of those “, so far” posts but lists can get boring, so instead I’m just going to give some random thoughts...

🐕PUP! PUP, PUP, PUP! I wasn’t into this band before 2019 but as of now, Morbid Stuff is my most-listened-to album of 2019. It has been a long time since I got really into a rock album... I just really love this damn album.

🔥Weirdly, there are only a handful of rap albums I’ve listened to this year (released this year): Anderson .Paak, Injury Reserve, Kevin Abstract, Schoolboy Q, Zeelooperz, 2 Chainz, Lil Pump. I have to say the .Paak and Injury Reserve albums are my top contenders for best rap albums of 2019. 

🔥 Racks On Racks by Lil Pump is a song I love & will also defend.

🔥 This is the first 2 Chainz album I have cared about in a while...  Momma I Hit A Lick is just crazy; so weird and interesting and pushing genre boundaries in a way I did not expect from 2 Chainz (but, Pharrell & Kendrick, so).

🍿Devoted is the best pop album of 2019.

🍿NASA is probably my most listened, favorite pop song of 2019. Maybe Real Love.

😓 James Blake’s album is so good. I’ll Come Too has a lot of plays.

🔥Jailbreak The Tesla makes me feel like Injury Reserve is what Odd Future could have been if they had any kind of focus & had all matured together instead. Anyway, it’s just such a fucking good song.

🤘Why isn’t the FIDLAR album as good as it should have been considering how good Alcohol and Too Real were/are!?!?! t

🤘I expected to fall completely in love with the Vampire Weekend album, and I really like it, but was a bit underwhelmed after how strong the stuff we heard before the release. I think the big thing for me is I don’t really like all the Haim girl duets. 

🤘Those Bon Iver songs tho 😍

😬I love the dumb videos (Gladiator Khaled is just too good) but the album is so so so bad. Holy Mountain is kind of the only thing worth more than 1 listen & it’s kind of just weird.

😍LIZZO😍

👀I Am Easy To Find is one of the highlights of the year (the song, though the album/film are great). How low Matt sings... it’s nuts (and sexy) but it’s just a perfectly beautiful sad song.

🔥other songs I love: Peach - Kevin Abstract Fine Mess - Interpol Cuz I Love You - Lizzo Song 32 - noname Not That I Want To - Starflyer 59 Gigolos Get Lonely Too - Prince

😓I haven’t listened to the new Bill Callahan album yet because I want to be in the right mood & have enough time to dedicate to it the 1st time but I anticipate that it will shoot to the top of my list when I do.

💽I want Yandhi already 😭😭😭
