Here it is. It's so weird to lay out so definitively your favorites of a year. It's like when people ask you for your top ten - top ten albums, top ten films, top ten musicians - it feels like a trap. Aha! You said that was in your top ten but you obviously are showing your appreciation for something entirely else instead! I just know this show would be just a little different if I were to do it two weeks from now, & a year from now, & ten years from now.
However, let's let it stand for now. Here are thirty tracks - twenty-seven songs, two stand-up bits, & one whatever the hell Negativland does - from my favorite, most-played records of the year. I'd love to hear yours. If you're foolish enough to make such a list!
Listen now & whenever at the Self Help Radio website. Remember the username & password (SHR + selfhelp). Look at the list of songs I played in the order I played them below. & enjoy.
