Friday Music Day

Boxing Day Music Day

14 Comments

Got any good box sets or other good music collections?
P.S. Remember, next week's FMD is reserved for best of 2014 lists.
I'll allow complaints today about how some publication or other put Beyoncé's late 2013 s/t album on their list.

      Definitely the quietest year for concerts since I started going seventeen or so years ago.

      1. No, that's acceptable. Really, FMD is open for the full weekend. Sundown on Sunday might be pushing it though.
