Hello there lovelies,
This musical interlude is brought to you by a band that have been with me a long time. I've been listening to The Offspring since primary school, and Americana was the first "rock" album that I ever owned. It got played on repeat, at full volume many, many times in true teen angst style the year that my parents made me move to Hervey Bay. I'm fairly certain that everyone has heard Why Don't You Get A Job?, & Pretty Fly For A White Guy by this stage, but here are a few of my favourite Offspring gems.

Ugh, it's incredibly difficult to choose only a few songs. I also highly recommend Self-Esteem, Stuff is Messed Up, The Kids Aren't Alright, and, well, everything else that these guys have ever done. Do you have any bands, or musicians that have stayed favourites for a long time?
Until next time, xo.
