Over the past year, I’ve kept loose track via WILT of the albums I was obsessed with each month. A short term affair, however, does not automatically create a favorite album worthy of a year. This year featured a lot of powerhouse releases from some of my favorite artists, new debuts, and great finds from… Continue reading My Favorite Albums of 2021
February, overall, didn’t quite bring the musical medleys I expected. Instead, I found what I liked and listened to it again and again; this includes past entries which don’t qualify for the current list. However, we still have some new additions thanks to a Valentine’s playlist from Soleil and my usual finds via various… Continue reading What I’m Listening To: February 2021
Well here we go: a new year, full of new music releases and discoveries. If this first month has been any indication of how the year ahead is going to go, it will be another good year, with some moody throwbacks, great hits, and hipster vibes. However, with how out of control we got here… Continue reading What I’m Listening To: January 2021
2020 ended on an interesting note musically. I spent the majority of the time cycling between three albums: Taylor Swift’s evermore, Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts, and the Promising Young Woman soundtrack. For a while, it seemed like my most-played was going to be exclusively tracks from those three, but, slowly, other songs found their… Continue reading What I’m Listening To: December 2020
Thanks to a lot of time on my hands, a wide array of selection, and fluctuating moods throughout the year, I was able to listen to a lot more music than I usually do. Not just songs either: entire albums and playlists on repeat for days or weeks. Additionally, in June I re-launched the “What… Continue reading My Favorite Songs of 2020
With the addition of Spotify to my life last September, my ability to stream entire albums increased by a significant amount. Before that I kind of floundered about, hearing singles here and there, or seeking out new releases from my favorite artists. Now I was able to stream new and old albums by musicians from… Continue reading My Favorite Albums of 2020
This month’s music mood has been hard to describe. It’s cleaning my room to the soundtracks of both Mamma Mia movies. It’s the same CDs in my car and playing them on repeat, loud. It’s jamming to a playlist on Spotify called “FUCK Men.” Or a video of lofi songs from the 50s and… Continue reading What I’m Listening To: September 2020
Wow, has it been a decade already? So much has happened—not just in terms of my life, but in our musical culture. I mean, I started this decade with an iPod Nano then transitioned to the iPod Classic for several years, then they stopped selling it, and now I’m all cool and using an iPod… Continue reading My Favorite Songs of the 2010s
One of my resolutions was to rediscover music, and I did – in a big way. Normally I have anywhere from 25-35 favorite songs for a given year. In 2019, I had trouble narrowing it down to less than fifty! I listened to music on YouTube, Pandora, my ever-faithful iPod, CDs, the radio, and finally… Continue reading My Favorite Songs of 2019
Normally, when I make my annual list of favorite songs I edit them into a video but this is a year to shake things up. So, instead, I’m following the same rules and putting it into a new format. The Rules: The song does not need to have been released in 2018, but acquired… Continue reading My Favorite Songs of 2018
