MALLIE MONDAYS

AUGUST

August. Come and gone. This is the first time I’ve posted my playlist late, and not on a Monday. I don’t need to be hard on myself about it, though - I love music and I love creating my monthly playlists (even if just for myself). It’s become a practice now, a part of my weekly routine, and many times there’s nothing I enjoy more than piecing songs together and discovering new music.

No, I won’t beat myself up for being late this month. Mainly because I’ve just been focusing on other aspects of my life that took precedence. I am headed to a tennis camp in Nice in 2 weeks, so naturally I’ve been playing a lot of tennis. It’s starting to feel like tennis is my means for tracking the passing of time - which seems to be passing by much faster these days.

I wanted this playlist to be an angsty ode to summer ending and to fall beginning. A glorious mashup of genres, beats, and artists. August has kept me on my toes, and I hope it does the same for you.

TW: There’s a heavy country influence in this one - I was in Wyoming this month, cosplaying as a cowboy, and there’s just something about country music….it just snuck right on in there!

Welcome to August, as we ring in September. Happy Mallie Monday, and yes, I am already counting down the days until Halloween! Don’t forget to listen to this one top to bottom (as per ushe).
