A random song from a random Spotify playlist is always blaring through my Alexa because, well, I hate silence. Last night, I came across an Instagram story from an old friend about Covid-19 tracks on Spotify. Quarantine has apparently nourished people's creative energies, and as someone in a creative rut, I'm happy for them! DJ Snake literally made a remix from Cardi B's coronavirus "shit is getting real" video, and by my estimates, there might be hundreds of Spotify tracks with the words "Covid-19" or "coronavirus" in the title. I even found some random artist under the stage name "Coronavirus," who released a nine-track "Covid-19" album and a 16-track "Pandemic" album.
Since the quiet was deeply depressing me, I made a playlist solely of these pandemic-produced songs called "wash ur hands".
