Prince – Auld Lang Syne
Welp, what can you say? What a [tfb]ing year.
I won't go much further than that, as many others either will or already have for me. Anyway, grab a beverage, raise your glass, and let's all sing along with this old song that we only know a few of the words to, including Prince.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: good luck, you guys.
I'll see you on the other side.
December 30, 2016: No Plan’s Eve
NYE has never meant as much to me. Can't really think of a fun one in recent memory (well, last year was pretty good). Nothing fun this year for sure.
You guys got better plans?
December 29, 2016: Solitude
No one is here at work today. That's the best.
Sturgill Simpson – Call to Arms
Okay, okay, yeah, this is an obvious pick. Truthfully, this is probably about my 5th choice. Played one, some have been taken, or nothing live exists (looking at you, Ocean & Cave).
It's a favorite of many here anyway, so figured I'd give it a spin. Here's a nice manic cut to lanch you into 2017. Good luck, you guys.

Fun little tribute buried in the middle.
Sufjan Stevens – Christmas Unicorn
Christmas is kinda weird. But that's okay.
However, at this point, I feel like I'm the Christmas Unicorn.
But that's okay. You're the Christmas Unicorn too.
It's alright, I love you.
December 22, 2016: Prep Work
Was planning on making a bunch of stuff for presents this year. Think I'm remotely done with that yet? Course not. How's your holiday prep coming?
Julien Baker – Funeral Pyre
Surprised we could only manage one week of "Best Of" posts from the citizenry this year. Even Phil got one up there, you guys ( 😉 ). Looks like DK and I will have to take it from here. I might be stealing one from him right now, actually...
Finally got to getting her debut. It's fantastic. At least in that "I feel a compulsion to listen to something pretty depressing" way.
I didn't really mention it, but the layout of this year's Summer Mix was supposed to resemble a summer day (as in a full 24 hour period, from daytime to late night). Specifically was channeling the summer days of a more youthful time, which were.... well, yeah. Anyway, JB's track from this year's mix really caught my attention. I placed towards the end as it helped symbolize the empty feeling at the end of some of those nights.
I was going to play this version specifically, but then I saw that Pepper had gotten to it. Went to find another song, and each one I found was better than the one before it (perhaps a Millions of Cats kind of thing). Anyway, I decided on this one, which isn't on her new album, but I'm guessing it will be on her next one though.
First time I've actually seen her. She can play. Might be lowkey in love.

Hope everyone's Holiday week comes together. Good luck to the citizenry to get everything together and to get to where they're going safely.
Decemeber 18, 2016: Four Or Five Moments
Four or five moments, that's all it takes for the Wolves to lose a game they had in the bag.
