Past mixes: 200820092010201120122013201420152016201720182019, 2020

I didn't spend a ton of time putting these together, because it's a busy year end and because I've decided it's time for me to listen to all of the Shearwater back catalog, so I need to put this to bed to move on in my listening. And since I usually just listen to the pot on shuffle, this at least has some attempt at transitions.  

This year: the ladies are pissed, and I am here for it. 

Disc 1

1. Johnny Delusional - Franz Ferdinand & Sparks. I saw the delightful film The Sparks Brothers at Sundance and listened to a lot of Sparks subsequently. I very much enjoy them, and as I also like Franz Ferdinand, I'm delighted they did an album together. I listened to this song a LOT.



2. No Gods No Masters - Garbage. I have thoughts on the album further below, but for now - enjoy the title track:

3. I am not a woman, I'm a god - Halsey. I love her new album that she did with Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, so there is a lot of it on here. 

4. NDA - Billie Eilish

5. brutal - Olivia Rodrigo. So good.  (There is apparently a video, but it's a very au courant and fights with the 90s feel of the song I feel)

6. Begging for Trouble - AFI. God I love that AFI is still making songs like this after 30 years. I'm seeing them in the spring and I can't wait. (Omicron WILL pass by then.)

7. The Passenger - Alison Mosshart & the Forest Rangers. Hey is anyone else watching the new season of Dexter?
