For the last 21 years, I've put together a year-end playlist. These are not (necessarily) songs from this year. But songs that meant something to me, this year. What originally started as a gift for my dad, uncle, and brother on a CD-R, later moved to a thumb drive, and is now ever deeply entrenched in the streaming era, sent out via email, and email newsletter.
As always, one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is getting to sit down and go through a year's worth of music -- some old, some new -- and sift and sort and put a mix together.
Here is the 2023 list. It is a sleek 182 songs long, at 13 hours and 47 minutes of tunes :)
If you aren't a Spotify user, this website will let you export to other streaming platforms.
A happy new year to you all,
Matt
