HOW "DEAD WEIGHT FALLS AND IT SETS YOU FREE"

Q: I had been out of work in my industry since Feb 2020. I spent the entire time sending out resumes to countless job postings. I would often send my resume out to 200+ job listings and not even receive a single interview. During the entire period, I probably had 3-4 real legitimate interviews. In one of them the guy interviewing me was some schmuck who I replaced in a prior job that I was eventually let go from due to internal politics and bullshit outside of my abilities. So this guy basically already had a bad opinion about me, and I knew I wasn't going to get that job.  I've felt essentially blacklisted from my industry despite the fact that I never once got written up or reprimanded in my previous position at Apple. However, when I applied to go back, I was not re-hired. It pissed me the fuck off because I had recruited a guy from my master's program out of the kindness of my heart to help someone else out, and all he did was bring negative stories about me and gossip ...

Bands and artists in this playlist include:

Features and discussions include:

-Review of Nearsighted by Kid Vision. Fans of pop-punk / hip-hop along the lines of MGK or Jason Furlong might want to check this one out.

-Many of the songs in this week's playlist were requests from our listeners or the artists themselves. The requests may have been made weeks or possibly months ago but we never said we were quick. We do try to honor as many requests as possible but we also have themes each week. So some songs may end up being pushed back if we have another playlist in mind for that particular song.

-Brazilian athlete Felipe Nunes is possibly one of the most inspirational skateboarders I have ever seen. His video segment in Thrasher Magazine's "Limitless" makes me look back on the two years of athletics that I lost to depression following a major knee injury and say to myself "what were you thinking?" Felipe lost both of his legs at the knees when he was young but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a Professional Skateboarder with the Birdhouse team. Check out his video on YouTube if you're in need of some inspiration as you won't find it included in the Spotify playlist.

-Support the bands and artists that you enjoy. The world can be a negative place sometimes. A little support and encouragement goes a long way. The Beatles didn't happen overnight.
