Friday Playlist
It seems like embedding Spotify playlists has been funky for the past week. I’ve checked old posts a couple times and received error messages where the playlist should be, only to find them available again a few hours later. So just a note to check back later if it is being a bitch when you first read this post. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5GwywyV4KkELK7mllOygWi?si=63c6292d3a564d7f…
Reaching for the Stars, Vol. 81

This was the week when I tried to figure out what my new normal listening habits are. The Bridge went back to playing their regular rotation of music, so while I still listened to their stream often, I wasn’t quite as obsessive as during their Z to A countdown. But I also didn’t completely fall back into listening to mostly…

A little late today as I spent most of the morning running around doing things for the girls. It’s also been a rather odd start to my music year, and I’m not piling up the new music the way I normally do. More on that below. I have managed to cobble together a few songs for your listening pleasure. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6HPRk1Rt4pbbSnMxMsYfEu?si=3f02a88840644271…

The final playlist of 2022. It will be a little different as I plan a special playlist for Monday and will hang on to new tracks until next Friday. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0LNHSvgSFC9zUNZff5Z0cM?si=01d517ec81f04b42 “Man at C&A” – The Specials “Our Lips Are Sealed” – The Go-Go’s Terry Hall, one-time frontman for The Specials, died a week ago.

I realized after I posted my Favorite Songs of the Year that I forgot to share my Year By Year favorites playlist. So, on this very cold morning (–9, wind chill –36 as I type…), I will send you into the holiday weekend with those 21 songs, running from 2004 to the present. Merry Christmas!

There’s not much music left in my FPL pool, so seems like a good week to take this in a different direction. It’s been an odd weather month here in Indy so far. Not warm but not cold, generally in the upper 40s with a few days up into the low 50s. THe issue has been that we’ve been socked…
