Timely Tunes ~ February 11, 2016

This weekend is Valentine’s Day, so I have decided to do something a little bit different for this week. Instead of writing about new releases I dug (Junior Boys, Deftones, Eagulls, Rihanna, etc.), I put together a love-themed playlist of power pop (and power pop-adjacent) gems. Hope you enjoy.
