Look at Miss Ohio-Gillian Welch

Cathartic. A good way to drain the negativity that festers at a level that I can’t just “shake off”. It is a part of my cycle at this point….happy, easy going, productive, then professional frustrations mount, stress, anxiety, anger, then depression and finally an outpouring of emotion through music, not just sad music, but songs and artists that I find moving, meaningful in some way. The music is the trigger to release….sometimes it doesn’t happen when I want it to, but when it does, it’s a powerful experience.

Ani DiFranco

I feel like this list is begging to play the “one of these things doesn’t belong” game lol.
