It's that time again. It's a little scary, I think, to put stuff out there, for criticism - you liked that? really? - but it's also a time-honored radio tradition, & one I've done on Self Help Radio for most of the show's run. (I started in 2004. I suspect I didn't do it for a couple of years because I was hesitant to repeat themes.)
Hey, feel free to share your faves of the year here on the blog or on the Facebook page. I'd love to see what you like & especially find something I may have missed. Because I'm pretty certain I missed a bunch this year. I have like two dozen records I haven't listened to yet as well!
The show is at the Self Help Radio site. The list of songs is below. The username is SHR & the password is selfhelp if you don't already know. It was a good year for music. I hope you like listening to what I liked.
