A lot of Punk and Garage and blah blah blah as usual. Lot of current releases including some local heads: Whyte Lipstick, P.V., Orange Whip, and Adult Learners! All great live bands too! I tried to also lean into some other genres a bit more like Hip Hop. Meagan Thee Stallion, Odd Future, and Triple 6 Mafia. I listened to Blondie’s debut album (I had previously only heard the singles) and Malcolm McLaren’s Swamp Thing at the recommendation of a friend. I didn’t even know he made music! It was a bizarre one and I don’t know if I’ll revisit or not, but it was worth the ride!

December is here and you know what that means…

Here’s a Christmas playlist I made a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZVqiyAMw1o&list=PL287kpvhH9PxBAs9St-8xzvtgXa5bHUGY

Also, time to start working on those year enders! Cheers! – Chris
