In celebration of seven years and 100 issues packed with acceptable oddities, he who hath wrought it hath compressed it into something resembling an overview. In the course of deep and not-so-deep digging, I’ve unearthed thousands of musicians, scores upon scores of albums, and more fantastic tunes than my face has follicles.
With that in mind, I’d like to invite new listeners to use this highly subjective “Best Of” as an introduction to the adventure that awaits. Old listeners may recognize some of the road we’ve walked, but rest assured, surprise await everyone.
Rather than a bookend, let’s consider this a stitch in the eternal patchwork of existence. After all, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the search is unending, eternal, and that even the oldest whiskers find a way to wind on…
