HAPPY FUCKIN NEW YEARS

So it's been a while since me and Ethan have blogged. We're too busy being home, visiting family, eating food from a full fridge, and sleeping in our comfy beds. So for new years, I am gonna just write about my favorite records of the year, both that came out this year and former years. It's not like time lines mean anything anyway.
Here are the ones that came out this year:

No particular order for any of these. I fully enjoy every single one of these. They are all unique in their own way. If I described everyone of these, I don't think anyone would read this, as if anyone already does. Please, please, please have a fantastic holiday, do something crazy, kiss the person you want, and dream out loud. Merry new years.
