This week we are talkin’ ’bout the songs that maybe shouldn’t be played when the mood strikes thanks to the Huff Post article, 20 Songs You Should Never Pay During Sex.
Moral to the Story: Red flags can also be found in playlists.
In this week’s episode, Mallory and Tamu explore ways to get over a relationship by watching 2001’s Someone Like You and discussing local Minnesota rapper Dessa’s experiment with neuroscience to pinpoint the parts of her brain where emotions of love were triggered by her former lover with whom she was broken up with (but he was still in her life) for 12 years. She then used neurofeedback to train her brain to work differently.
Moral to the Story: With practice, we can find our very own Hugh Jackman.

In this week’s episode, Tamu & Mallory explore how music has shaped and will continue to shape their lives.
Tamu digs through the crates of her music collection to reveal the love songs that she banned from her ears and mind after the end of her tumultuous relationships with Sven and Bjorn. The first song on the list, Prince’s Adore, was released the same year Mallory was born, which made Tamu feel so young and vibrant!
The 7-year ban has been lifted and these songs are joyfully part of her playlist rotation once again.
Check out the Banned@Love playlist below:
Mallory shares the fact the she has incredible disdain for Owl City’s Fireflies, and had a weird fondness for Jewel. As a youth, she also played hours upon hours of video games whilst listening to Christina Aguilera’s 2002 album, Stripped.
Moral to the Story: You learn so much about a person from looking at their playlists.
