Well a shorter distance then planned last Christmas, a story for another time, but it means a mighty cull of the songs I have noted through the year. 3 sleeps to the half marathon and the mixed tape is sorted…
So my self made rule of no songs from last year posed a bigger problem than I had thought, but got there in the end. There’s 80’s, pop, punk, Brisbane bands, a riff I rediscovered this year at the Day on the green, of course the 90’s is represented, some songs released this year and a tip of the hat to Rik Mayall with his passing this year. My favourite band also needed a cameo, as well as my old favourite from late 80’s/90’s…
Every single song holds a story for me that I can think about whilst doing the shuffle, pushing ensuing pain to the rear of my thoughts, well that’s the plan anyway.
