There’s not many words that can be used to describe the events of the past few weeks without sounding like you’re reading a list from a thesaurus, or a description from a Lemony Snicket novel. When we’re drowning ourselves in Medium think-pieces and shitty memes and tears and cheap beer and Carly Rae Jepsen remixes of Nazis getting punched and cheap beer and any/every other self care routine and hope it grants a temporary distraction from our current dystopian nightmare brought to life, it’s important to remember: sometimes music helps.
