Friday Playlist #5

What I love about using shuffle to do my Friday playlist is that I really don’t have to think very hard to get the playlist out the door. Sure I throw my $.02 in there about each track and/or band, but the natural flow of shuffle makes it much easier for me to maintain my mindless zombie status. Especially on …

Ahh, the wonders of Friday. Survive today and, more than likely, you’ll have two free days of mirth and merriment that just don’t last long enough. OK, enough of the palaver, down to the tunes.  I thought I’d take things up a level this week and leave the selection of the Friday playlist to the hands of fate, or, at …

The genres will clash, tempos will vary wildly, but I don’t give a good goddamn. That’s how Friday works! I have at …

It’s been 10 days and you’re still playing that game…

When I found out that Sonic Boom had done a pile of remixes for them I thought I’d go ahead and …

This was my first outing to Austin to see a show and I kicked off my long long string of Austin shows …
