If you're anything like me, you're so busy that you get really sick annually. Three years running I've had pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and then pneumonia again. What with going from class to lab to newspaper to an all-nighter, it's pretty easy to not notice that you haven't slept in three days and the only thing you've eaten in the past 36 hours is a tortilla with some veggies on it.

But let me give you some advice: Have you ever heard a hookah? If your breathing sounds like this, you need to see a doctor. But, if you're anything like me, again, you don't have time for namby-pamby BS like medical treatment.

Well, if you don't, not only will the pneumonia not go away, it'll invite your heart over for the party. So, here's a playlist for when you find yourself in Urgent Care with a fuck-ton of electrodes hooked up to your chest trying to figure out why your heart is beating kinda funky.
