ooooooOoooOooOooooooOoo SHMELLO!
We meet AGAIN, my lil sweeties. I don’t really know what to write about here today. I wish I had something fun or interesting to talk about, but there’s just, NOTHING. My poor lil brain is just brain soup these days. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with soup(it’s amazing), but brains ain’t meant to be soupy. Unless they are. I honestly have no idea what’s going on up there. Are our brains meant to be soup? Someone help me.
ANYWAY, this week’s donut drawing is by ME. Why? No one else sent me donuts. So now I gotta make ‘em myself. Which is TERRIBLE news. I’m colorblind and I don’t even know what colors I used for this one. Maybe next week I try just black and white…
ANYWAY ANYWAY, onto the MUSIC! First UP, this new lil EP from VVD WINDWS. They are new to me, but niiiiiice vibes.
New single from Joe Westerlund off of Psychic Hotline. Not really sure how to describe this single. It’s kind of like listening to wind chimes but with a rhythmic groove to it. So niiiiiiiice.
Love me some Makaya McCraven. New single from an upcoming album off of International Anthem.
Aaaaand here’s the updated August Spotify playlist.

Please keep doing these, and please keep updating your Spotify playlists! I absolutely love them as "work music" when nothing on any WFMU stream isn't synching to my vibe. I have the January 2025 playlist on right now as I slog through 250+ slide PowerPoints for work.
