FEBRUARY, amirite? LOVE N STUFF, you know? This is a playlist of songs about being young and in love/in crush. I mean, you are a strong, powerful woman and you do not need another person to complete you. But if you want to zone out and daydream about your significant other or desired significant other, HERE, AND HAPPY WEEKEND TO YOU ALL.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
I haven’t even listened to this yet but I can already tell it is awesome because LADY L
Log in to replyDon’t forget about “A Teenager in Love” by Dion & The Belmonts!

Log in to replyI think what a lot of people think independent feminist women can’t desire a boyfriend. It is perfectly normal to want a significant other and love and sex or any combination – society’s unfair sexist standards come out when girls think they need boyfriends in order to be considered & consider themselves “legitimate” women.
Log in to replyand SPARK #2 theme is ‘OH, BOYS’. so, good people, please read it http://issuu.com/spark_zine/docs/spark_issue_2

Log in to replyI’d definitely add Mariah Carey “Always Be My Baby”, but that’s just me.
Log in to replyA lot of the time i find myself listening to these playlists instead of my own. Rookie is the bee’s knees. Tavi is my Huuuro. keep it up Rookie-ers.

Log in to replyWhat browser are you using?
Log in to replyInternet explorer. I’m in the uk, reckon that makes any difference? I don’t know, no message comes up or anything, it just… doesn’t respond.
Log in to replyTwo things:
1. Can you try another browser and tell me if it works?
2. Can you play this one? http://rookiemag.com/2011/10/friday-playlist-hanging-out-with-ginger-fitzgerald/
I can listen to the ginger fitzgerald one, yep. I can listen to all of them apart from the two most recent ones (this one and last week’s, that is).
And I /could/ try using another browser, except I have no idea how to. I’m a bit of a tech idiot, sorry.
Log in to replyDownload Chrome or Firefox from the internet and then try it from there.
Chrome: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95346
Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
It worked!
Log in to replyI downloaded chrome and it seems to work fine on that. Must’ve been something wrong with internet explorer. Thanks :)
