Best of 2015…So Far
It was an amazing year in music, though it sped by. Remember
I do not post live albums, soundtracks, various artist compilations or reissues
and e.p.s, because the list would be tripled in size.
Happy listening and feel free to post comments, missed hits,
“are you kidding me’s” and remember listen to more music than you watch tv.
2016 is already off to a good start with new Bowie and DIIV.
