I work hard for the money...

Okay, well maybe not all the time. Hey, we all need to take a break once and a while to work on the next genious playlist. Or something like that. Anyways, this playlist is dedicated to all you hard workers out there. It's pretty self explanatory so take a listen. If your occupation didn't make the list, don't worry because they definitely don't make any songs about life settlements either.

Hi, my name is Jessica and I'm addicted to music.

I absolutely love all things music. I love the excitement of finding a new band. I love the rush of adrenaline you get from seeing music live. I love how music can change your mood. I love music. So it seems only right that I would have a blog dedictated to music in some way. Although, most of the credit for the creation of this blog goes to my roommate, Judy. Judy is in this awesome mix-tape club with her friends where every month someone gets assigned a random category and from that category a playlist must be born. It's honestly the most ingenious idea for a club I have ever heard of. So I am basically going to steal their wonderful idea and make a blog based on it. Every two weeks I plan on picking a category and making a playlist from it. I'm going to aim to put 20 songs on each playlist. Suggestions are encouraged as that will be more challenging then using my own category. However, since this is the first blog entry, I am picking the category and we are starting with my good friend, alcohol. I'll be placing the playlists on imeem and providing you all with the link so you don't have to do any work at all. So sit back, relax, listen to the mix and hopefully enjoy!
