So I said I promised something nice here for hardly posting at all last week, and here it is. Forgive me as I just haven’t felt like posting at all but I think that’ll change starting tomorrow. I wasn’t planning on doing anymore lists, but I think compiling a song list just felt right. I’m sure i’m missing a lot as I just wrote down whatever came up in my head and kept the first 30 songs that sprung to mind. I didn’t rank them either, cos I really wasn’t interested in doing that at all. I wanted to include mp3s for all of Andy’s but if you remember his last radio show post, it featured almost all of the songs off his top 25. So yeah, hope you enjoy these and here’s to looking forward to the great songs to come this year!
There’s one more thing I wanted to talk about. As you know, we have a collective of writers that contribute but it’s not really as consistent as I hoped it would be initially. Some post once a week, some not at all. What i’d like to ask to anyone who reads frequents here, is if you would like to help contribute to the blog. I’m just looking for one, and anything more than once a week is sufficient for me. If you’re interested please email me or comment to this post. Thanks!
