Welcome to What’s Playing in the Studio, my playful music check-in (part experiment, part time capsule, and mostly a share of what’s on repeat). Today’s theme: soft aesthetics + cathartic vibes (pretty-but-weird choices, left turns in the production, lyrics that swerve, and “wait…why is this hitting so hard?” moments). Lush

Today’s theme: songs I caught in the wild at work (overhead speakers, someone else’s playlist, a random moment between calls) and immediately had to look up. Yes,
Field Notes: Do I get the MacBook Neo?
I want to be honest about what this is: part practical upgrade, part "new era" temptation. The dream is an orange desktop setup (or that orange iMac), but my real-life
