Paper Playlist: Songs in cinema
SONGS IN CINEMA This week, we decided to compile a list of iconic songs from movies. For us, the soundtrack really makes or breaks the film, and these are some of our favorite tracks from our own favorite films. While we ran into a bit of an issue with this after discovering that Shelby has maybe […]
Paper Playlist: Lehigh listens to Nickelback
LEHIGH LISTENS TO NICKELBACK Lehigh might listen to Nickelback, but TBH, so do you (don’t lie). Nickelback unites us all, both in our hatred for the music and in our inability to escape it. These songs, in their crappiness, will hopefully bring us all a little closer together. Emma: This week, my pick is Nickelback’s […]
Paper Playlist: Chicken tender
Chicken tender This playlist is specifically an ode to chicken tenders, kind of. While nothing can top our love for late-night Lower’s infamous tendies, these songs just might put you in the mood to take your favorite Lower order into the crisp air this fall. With the warm acoustic sounds and sweet lyrics, the songs […]
Paper Playlist: Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
SLOW IS SMOOTH. SMOOTH IS FAST. If the name of this playlist overwhelms you with a whirlwind of emotion, don’t worry—that’s the point. Much like the soulful sounds of this week’s tunes, we chose these songs because they start with a smooth, sailin’ vibe and are then ramped up by upbeat lyrics and modern spin. […]

CREEPIN’ IT REAL. Knock, Knock. Who’s there? Boo. Boo who? Don’t cry, it’s only your musical sherpas back again with a ~spooky~ playlist.

Let your inner soul experience these chilling and thrilling […]

These acoustic and melancholy songs will make the perfect playlist to set the mood for a fun […]
Paper Playlist: Go Home, Roger
GO HOME, ROGER. FALL BREAK, BABY! We made it. In honor of these glorious 4 days off, we are dedicating this playlist to HOME. In reality, this break is really just an extra two days and we will be back before you know it, but we are still excited. So, blast this playlist when you’re […]
Paper Playlist: Songs that are fake
*Shelby approaches Emma, sitting peacefully in the library.* Shelby: Hey, Emma! What’re you listening to? Emma: Oh, nothing, just Same Drugs. Shelby: Awesome! I love Chance the Rapper! So hip! Emma: SHELBY YOU BUFFOON, IT’S THE COVER BY MISTERWIVES. Shelby: That’s FAKE. This week is all about raising awareness for fake songs. What’s more fake than a […]
Paper Playlist: @Our Lafayette Crushes
@Our Lafayette Crushes Now that school has been in session for a month, we know some of you probably have your eyes on a new campus crush. To give you some encouragement, we decided to bring you back to your prime middle school years with this week’s playlist. These throwbacks should take you right back to that […]
Paper Playlist: Songs that go through puberty
SONGS THAT WENT THROUGH PUBERTY. This week, our playlist focuses on those songs that you listen to, and halfway through, you ask yourself if it’s the same song. Most of the songs on our playlist have unassuming beginnings – a little creepy, a little haunting – but soon build into rocking masterpieces. Emma: This week, I’m going with “Little Black […]
Paper Playlist: Float On
FLOAT ON. It’s week two and somehow we’re already stressed, so this week’s playlist is all about keeping it mellow. Whether you’re studying, hanging out, or watching the rain fall (maybe pretending you’re in a music video), this playlist is for you. Emma’s Pick: My pick this week is “Miss You” by Mura Masa. While most widely […]
