Before it was time for another show, I figured I should post my last two playlists, including my Jan. 5 show that highlighted many of my favorite songs and albums (didn't get to all) from 2023. To recap, here's my Top 10 albums, previously posted at WMSE:
1. VARIOUS ARTISTS – WRITTEN IN THEIR SOUL: THE STAX SONGWRITER DEMOS (STAX/CRAFT RECORDINGS)2. TYLER KEITH AND THE APOSTLES – HELL TO PAY (BLACK & WYATT)
3. THEE HEADCOATS – IRREGULARIS (THE GREAT HIATUS) (DAMAGED GOODS)
4. PAT TODD AND THE RANK OUTSIDERS – SONS OF THE CITY DITCH (DOG MEAT)
5. YO LA TENGO – THIS STUPID WORLD (MATADOR)
6. JINKSIE – S/T (SELF-RELEASED)
7. MOVIE MOVIE – STORYBOARDS (TOPSY TURVY)
8. THE BASEBALL PROJECT – GRAND SALAMI TIME! (OMNIVORE)
9. DEX ROMWEBER – GOOD THING GOIN’ (PROPELLER SOUND RECORDINGS)
10. DAN MONTGOMERY – CAST-IRON SONGS & TORCH BALLADS (FANTASTIC YES)
I waited partly because it took a bit for the full audio archive to show up, but it was also because I'm always damn slow to post the playlists!
Typically, I post the newest playlist first, but I'll start with the Jan. 5 show. I did play a few new songs on the Jan. 12 show, including one from the new Greg Cartwright project, the Hypos and the latest single from Xposed 4heads.
