BEST OF 2017 (PART 1)

Of the 393 songs that appeared on the 19 "regular" P of A mixes of 2017, here follow the 42 that most successfully insinuated themselves into my oft-soporific, oft-sentimental, oft-sodden, oft-sophomoric, oft-insensate, oft-insomnia-insensible subconscious.

[A note: I have recently succeeded in falling and fracturing my humerus -- something I do not begrudge to concede I do not find humorous in the least. Surgery, it would seem, shall follow shortly. In the meantime, I pledge to do my best to keep this site updated as most I can manage. Please do be patient with this incipient, nascent patient....]

2017: 20 ALBUMS

Here follow 20 albums that most thoroughly goosed my moose during the year 2017. Perhaps you're already familiar with them; perhaps it's better if you're not.  Nothing quite like having new music to investigate and evaluate; nothing quite like that prickly, electric thrill of discovery and that first blush of love.  So please do feel free to left-click on the artists' names in order to invoke additional information, sound samples, and the like....

[A note: For reasons I think you can quite comprehend, these albums are not available for download from this website.]
CAMERON AVERY/ripe dreams, pipe dreams
RICHARD EDWARDS/lemon cotton candy sunset
EL GOODO/by order of the moose
FAST ROMANTICS/american love
NEIL FINN/out of silence
GIANT ROOKS/new estate [ep]
HA HA TONKA/heart-shaped mountain
LOLA MARSH/remember roses
MOTHER MOTHER/no culture
ALEXANDRA SAVIOR/belladonna of sadness
THE SECRET SISTERS/you don't own me anymore
SIR SLY/don't you worry, honey
LUKE SITAL-SINGH/time is a riddle
