Y’all…

How have I gone this long without the magic of Lake Street Dive in my life?

Thank goodness for TikTok (more to come on that subject later), but JackyFlanagan made a “Serotonin Boost Playlist” and shared the link on one of her videos. I perused it and recognized several songs/artists, so I followed it and listened to it for the majority of spring and summer 2022. So, JackyFlanagan from TikTok and Spotify, thank you for your work in not only piecing together one amazing playlist filled with songs from now and then, but for also introducing this old lady to Lake Street Dive.

I was introduced to them through the song “Good Kisser.” I loved it so much, I listened to this entire album on Spotify for WEEKS and finally bought it on vinyl*.

So, don’t sleep on this band. Their sound and style is eclectic; they’re modern, but gives you feels of Janis Joplin.

*I feel like if I purchase an album on vinyl, it’s my official stamp of “YAASS.” At my house, vinyl rotations are a bit of my self-care/self-medication. So, I don’t buy albums unless it is bringing something of serious value to my quiet moments.
