freshgoodies
Whether you’re a mellow fellow or just want to vibe with the chiller spectrum of music, follow ALL the playlists of this account! Freshgoodies is one of my favorite finds this quarantine, and the well-curated playlists are perfect background music for different parts of your day. Being solo during ECQ can get pretty quiet, so these playlists have been constantly on rotation for my laidback daily listening. Users can frequently submit music for these freshgoodies playlists, so it’s a really awesome way to discover fresh and independent artists. Start off your day with Focus Beats while you work from home, then end it with Lofi Dinner as you kick back with your favorite drink. Take in all the good vibes, because we need as many relaxing moments as we can get right now.
One World: Together At Home
Organized by Global Citizen to support the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Response Fund, One World: Together at Home is a global live-streamed virtual concert event. The event was aired on different television networks and digital platforms worldwide last Saturday, April 18. If you missed the whole show or your favorite artist playing like I did, Spotify has curated the official playlist featuring the performing artists. The playlist includes artists and bands like Charlie Puth, Lady Gaga, Jess Glynne, John Legend, Billie Eilish, Michael Bublé, Taylor Swift, Jack Johnson, The Killers, and many more. It's a little refreshing to listen to these artists play their hit songs in the comfort of their homes. The playlist runs for four hours so you can easily listen to it while working at home!
Gimme Love by Joji
Joji's new track 'Gimme Love' is the prelude to his upcoming sophomore album 'Nectar', coming out this July. The song may sound a bit repetitive for some as Joji asks his love interest to "give him love", but it builds up so well to the more beautiful second half of the song, which is more upbeat and sentimental. After hearing 'Gimme Love' and 'Run', I'm nothing but excited as to what he has in store in his upcoming album!
My Favorite Murder Podcast
If you’re into true crime stories, then listening to My Favorite Murder podcast is a good pastime while you’re in quarantine. From the biggest names in the history of serial killers to the disturbing crimes committed in small towns, My Favorite Murder has them covered. Unlike other podcasts that tell these stories in a serious narrative way, this podcast is more of a light discussion, filling you in with the details as the hosts tell their favorite true crime stories. The podcast also strays a bit every now and then to read the interesting experiences of their listeners, like spooky supernatural stories, weird things they found in their walls, and other bizarre stuff.
