My Year in Music

Each Friday this year, I added a “What I’m listening to” section to my Famous Friday Varia and Quick Hits. Here’s a little index of what I’ve listened to over the past year.

Music is a huge part of my life and with my subscription Spotify, I can indulge my wide ranging (let’s say) tastes without much penalty.  In fact, I’ve toyed with the idea of a Music Monday blog where I have a little space to talk about my music. So far, I’ve held off taking the plunge, but it’s almost a new year…

The following list is in the order that I listened to this music over the course of the year. (Of course, I could cheat and go back to listen to something even after the week is over!):
