Hey everybody

Another week, more summer/fall. This is a weird one this year.

Never sure if it's beach music time or maybe more into the cozy folkie vibe.

Hence, there is a little of both. Oh and other stuff too.

See what you think

Never a dull moment.

Hey everybody,

Ever have one of those weeks where every time you think you are done something, you go back and change it?  For some reason it never really seems finished? Well, that was this week's playlist, and to be honest, I am still not really really 110% sure this is it.

However, for now, at least, here it is. Took a lot of twists and turns...

Hot Topic ... Le Tigre
Lookin On The Floor Of The Love Shack ... DJ Godfather vs. B52s

Straight Shot ... League of Wolves *
Misery Loves Company ... The Trews *
Road Dog ... The Lucky Ones *
Hang on To Yourself ... Young Galaxy *

Egads. Is this what writer's block feels like?

Thanks for listening
