Okay, so, I've recently been listening to Avi Kaplan's Spotify playlist...a lot. I gave it a try a few months ago out of curiousity and decided pretty quickly that he liked some pretty strange music. There were a couple of songs on it that I liked, though, enough to make me go back and give the playlist another chance. And another. And another. And now I'm obsessed with many of the songs because they're beautiful; most of the time I forget it has anything to do with Avi. But then, sometimes, the writer in me pops up and wonders out loud what it is about these songs that made Avi add them to his playlist. So, here's me giving my imagination free reign: why did Avi pick these songs? What makes them special to him? Are there associated memories? Is it the melodies? The lyrics? The songs as a whole? No doubt I'll never know for sure. But I can definitely speculate :)
