Anti-Valentine's with Ashnikko
If you haven't heard of the artist Ashnikko yet, let me introduce you. Her new EP DEMIDEVIL recently dropped and its an evolution of her style and character. She's blown up online due to her songs going viral on TikTok and high spotify streams. If you listen to the songs on her first album, HI, IT'S ME, you might notice it seemed to be an evolution of a specific character, of someone going through a breakup, dealing with aftermaths, realizing they are better off and finding their worth, while getting some action inbetween.

Between Before & After
There are tons of songs out there about bad breakups, songs that capture the anger and betrayal and righteous self interest that characterize these experiences.

2 Words 2 Birds
This is a bit of a challenge to award this day with tons of anti-Valentine Day propaganda. The fact that I've been "unsingle" for the past 12 years makes me have to stretch a little on what it was like to be single this time of year. However, having a teenage daughter brings it back into perspective.

These are not love songs
Valentine’s Day is just a day; a neutral day, neither good nor bad. It can pass by unacknowledged every year if we choose. Dwelling on it, hating it, railing against it, that’s also a choice.

I Got Me This VDAY <3
Are you "anti Valentines day"?? Well, Valentines is upon us. Firstly, what is Valentines day? It's when lovers express their affection with greetings, gifts and cuddles.... so what do you do if your single? Uhhhhhh.... well I bet the majority just sit around and pout that they aren't able to perform to these standards. That's too gloomy for me. How about we change that??!!

Playlist: Types of Single on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day unites all the singles in the world to be lonely at the same moment without the acknowledgment (or permission) of the individual. It sounds sadder than it is. Being single doesn't have to mean being sad, especially when you have great music to listen to. Despite having the single commonality, most of us are single for different reasons. Pick and choose you're reasons and build a playlist based on your "Type of Single."

Single AF
Single. Taken. Single. Taken. Being dumped (or dumping someone) and going through heartbreak is hard, but it’s always a learning experience and something that you shouldn’t be ashamed of. Not every relationship will work out. Not every marriage will last. It can be difficult to make the decision to be single for anyone because not only do you have to deal with the social comments, you also have to deal with your own mind turning on you.

You don't need emotional scars to hate Valentine's Day
You don't have to be single to hate Valentine's Day. You don't have to carry scars from previous nightmare dates and cruel break-ups to go into hiding when February 14 dawns with a petal-red sky.

Do ya love?
As the dreaded Valentine's Day falls upon us and my social media feed is full of reminders that this is the all important day that will define how loved I am and thus my value as a human being, I can't help noticing that Valentine's Day seems evoke all of our fears, insecurities, vulnerabilities and wounds, and all of our defence mechanisms come out to play.

My Dirty Little Secret
F*ckin’ Perfect. Yeah, that pretty much describes it. I was listening to Halestorm, probably a bit louder than I needed to, and missed my exit. And the next one wasn’t for five miles.

Roses are Dead, Violets are Bleh
Valentine's Day is one of the most contentious holidays of the year. It's a strange day and the only holiday to have taken on dual meanings and celebrations.
