Episode #1154

The latest music nerd social media trend, My9, which asks users to “Pick the 9 albums that made you” is equal parts infuriating and intriguing. How could you ever boil down a lifetime of music to 9 albums? Well, it turns out that I absolutely cannot. I made 4 different lists of 9 and still left dozens out. Today on the show, we hear music from a bunch of albums that made me, and once again, failed to even come close to covering them all.

Scroll down to see my social media images, and then go make your own; I’d love to see it!

To see even more from my lists, you can check out the playlists that represent my different eras:

Episode #1150

It’s been 25 years since the tragic events of 9/11. Much has been said about the profound losses and changes to all of our lives after that day. It also happened to be a music new release day, and a bunch of great albums were released that day and quickly overshadowed by what was going on in the world. Today we listen back to some of that great music and then widen the focus to listen to musical memories from a year of great joys and sorrows.

This is one of our standby series of episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
