It's that time of year again! Not a "best of" list - I don't believe there's a such thing as a "best" & anyway I didn't listen to every release in 2022, so how could I (or anyone) claim to say what is "best" then? - but simply some of my favorite musical releases from the year.
You probably can guess I listen to music all the time & so I will almost certainly have more than three hours worth of songs I could call my "favorites" of the year. So I follow these rules:
1) The music had to be something I listened to quite a lot. More than just once or twice.
2) The music to be released this year - yes, I'll have some reissues on the list.
3) The song I play tonight isn't necessarily my favorite from the record - maybe I already played my favorite before & I wanted to showcase another song.
4) This is not a comprehensive list - I will doubtless have forgotten something or not gotten around to listening to something yet - there are almost three more weeks left in 2022!
Perhaps you'll have fun listening to me playing lots of my favorite music of the year. It'll happen from midnight to 3am Portland time on 90.7fm in town & online at kboo.fm.
You should totally make a list of your favorites too! But if you call it a "best of" I'm probably just going to feel a little sorry for you & probably not going to pay much attention to it.
