Every bloody year I do this and every bloody year I promise I wouldn’t. But I end up doing it. Man, I suck.

So I throw my favorite tracks in a playlist throughout the year. This year 298 songs made it. I keep saying (to myself) that month by month I’m going to put them in order. Make this time of year easy. But no…I never do. Reviewing 300 songs takes a very long time. I’m sure mistakes were made and songs forgotten but still this is basically in order and correct. Basically. If you asked me tomorrow I might have the songs in slightly different order. Maybe. Either way…Enjoy.
