This show is entitled “This Year’s Hits Today!” Why? Seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this show was meant more as an exploration of my own archive of new music than anything else. I’ve piled up a lot of records over these past eleven months+, and I wanted to see how many of them were actually any good. Turns up that more of them are really, really good in fact. They are all definitely different, but they are also quite good. This also isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list. There are other tracks from this year that I just featured in other weeks, and I just wanted to keep that kind of repetition down.
