"Have you ever listened to NPR and wondered who chooses those songs you hear between stories and interviews? It's our directors. They lovingly set the mood of the shows, gently guiding you from one story to the next, or delivering just the right beat to set up the next interview. And they've got good taste. As we wind down 2023, we've asked four All Things Considered directors to curate a playlist based off the theme of their year, and what got them and NPR listeners moving. And a warning some of these songs contain explicit lyrics. That's life, baby."
"I was *gasp* an emo kid. Not in the traditional sense. I wasn't smearing black eyeliner all over my lids and wearing black 24/7 as if I was dressed for someone's neverending funeral. It's just that a lot of the music I listened to was in the realm of emo, pop-punk, hardcore, etc. The Wonder Years' "Local Man Ruins Everything" was my freshman year anthem. "Flashlight" by the Front Bottoms was my summer jam. I'd ugly cry listening to "My Heart" by Paramore."
