My spring break in Wales starts in less than 24 hours!
I've done this kind of thing a few times, but not since November, and anyone who knows me is aware that I like music maybe a little bit more than a lot. So here's another collection of my favorite tracks that I've discovered and listened relentlessly to over the past month. (Note: this doesn't mean everything listed is new, just that it's new to me.)
I'm including links with every song in this batch for the convenience of anyone who's curious. I hope it motivates you to at least give a brief listen to a few tracks.
I've also sorted them a bit based on the moods I've been in over the past month. If dubstep and electronic stuff isn't for you, skip the first section. The second is non-electronic upbeat songs. The third has a few instrumentals and generally less hardcore stuff.
*Disclaimer: Not all lyrics or videos are clean, particularly from the first two sections. Click at your own risk.

Fat Lip (Acetronik Remix) - Sum 41 (I've been listening to this for weeks now)
End of Pretend - Black Cards & Matthew Koma (this video is a little weird)

Red Lights - Tiësto
Pulse - Hit The Lights
