When you’re a 1L, you basically don’t have time for anything fun. You fall behind in TV, you don’t see any of the movies that come out, and forget about reading for fun. But at least you can still listen to music on your way to school, or doing dishes, or whatever. So here’s some of what kept me sane during the last year.

Harvey Danger, “Flagpole Sitta”: when you read a contracts case about a guy who was actually hired to be a flagpole sitter, and your contracts professor is super into pop music, you watch this video in class.


Wall-E OST: soundtracks are the best study music, this is a true fact.

Carbon Leaf, How the West Was Vol. One

Glee The Music Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Road to Sectionals, Christmas Album: Yeah, I’m going to be honest, basically 90% of the music I listened to in the last year was from Glee. I’d be more embarrassed if I didn’t know that was true of half the school.

Neko Case, Middle Cyclone

Roky Erickson and Okkervil River, True Love Cast Out All Evil
