2023, The Master Playlist...!

Another year, come and gone. And as usual, I like to collect together all the tracks from all my mixes and combine them into one master playlist. Usually I make 4 mixtapes throughout the year, one for each season. But there was just so much great music this year, that I ended up with 6 volumes! 

So, now here are all 6 collections, in sequence, plus BONUS TRACKS! It adds up to over 10 hours of muic. And going back to the very first mix, it's just amazing how far we're come.

2023, Vol 2: Does Anybody Else Feel Numb?

2023, Vol 3: Midsummer Blues

Vol 6: It's The End Of 2023, And I Feel Fine


The sixth and final mixtape of the year! Normally I only make 4 volumes; one per season, and a master playlist at the end of the year with BONUS tracks, but there was just so much good music this year that I couldn't help but add a few extra volumes!

Kicking it off with the final Beatles song, followed by some Rolling Stones and U2.  New music from: Taking Back Sunday, Middle Kids, Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES, Lawrence, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, MGMT. Always happy to support friends like Skyhill, Katy Tunbridge, and Spiral Moon. (I cover their song "Falling" acoustically as Pike Project.) Speaking of covers, Dolly Parton covering 4 Non Blondes, Pearl Jam covering Tom Petty, guitar protegee Marcin doing his version of Layla! 

I was in a record store not too long ago and I recognized Thom Yorke's voice as they were playing the Modeselektor album. Capping it all off with one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums of the year, "Last Rites" by Crosses. Kick back, relax, crank these tunes, and enjoy! 2 hours straight of bangers!
