We're 52 days from my 50th birthday, so for the last couple months I've been working on a playlist. @SweeperBoyCNC @LinerPod 1/
I was inspired by the @TheBalsaGliders' own Charles Marshall and his 50th birthday mix, but I made my own rules... 2/
One song from each year I've been alive (1970 to 2020, so 51 songs total) plus a bonus song, so 52 total... 3/
Not necessarily the *best* song of the year, but one that I love and that has meaning to me in the arc of my life... 4/
Only one song per band across the playlist, although there's one exception for a solo artist who does work that's very distinct from his band work. 5/
I'm going to tweet a song a day in chronological order from now until 9/28, with commentary. Feel free to follow along! On my birthday, 9/29, I will make the full playlist public on Spotify. 6/
Feel free to respond, engage, comment, just no complaints about how xxxx song is better or I picked from xxxx artist's wrong album. This is an intentionally idiosyncratic list and intentionally contrarian in places and it's *my* list. 7/
If I inspire you to go make your own list because mine sucked so badly, then mission accomplished and I'll look forward to hearing yours! 8/8
