From now on, you should play this every time you do any updates or other backend work:
This song isn't actually about Halloween, but it totally kicks ass.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Halloween
What passes as 'country music' today is an embarrassment.

Tonight's choir practice reminded me that the '90s were the absolute dark years for quality of choral arranging and editing.
I am SO pissed that these hacks got paid for the error-ridden schlock they created.
Yes, this is me being super judgemental. Not sorry.
Took this at choir practice earlier this week. Points to whoever can name the piece first. (It's VERY well-known.)

Just returned from my first in-person choir rehearsal in 18 months. It was nice to be singing with people again, but it felt surreal.
I haven't channeled my avatar in quite a while. Fixing that now with this amazing performance. Crank it to 11, but don't say I didn't warn you if you're in a puddle at the end. Yes, it is worth an hour and a half of your time.
