As I sit here writing this, alone, in the middle of one of the scariest periods in our lifetime, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.

I had the June playlist ready to publish on the first of the month and completely forgot about it. But, alas, here it is, with a lot of extra to make up for it. Enjoy.

It’s a new year, but it’s the same approach to the music selections: an eclectic mix of the esoteric and the accessible.

Since I haven’t posted one of these in a while, I packed it with more tracks. I love this set.

A glorious nostalgia overload for any Generation Xer.

This month’s playlist is all about the black Pop/R&B music I loved during the ’80s.
