Think I'll try to clear out a few more 2016 odds and ends before 2017 stuff starts showing up. Watch out cause sooner or later I might start playing a bunch of the metal I started listening to last year.

This song came out in the summer of 2008, and for me it definitely captured a feeling of that fall and into the start of 2009; a feeling that feels pretty far away here coming from the end of 2016, but my hope and wish is for everyone here to catch a little bit of that feeling again in the new 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.

A lot of my favorites have already been hit (other than people like Frank who have no live videos of new stuff yet), but if you know me, you probably know what we haven't played yet that's going to be at the top of my list.

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.
(6 votes, average: 9.67 out of 10)Loading... This song has been around for 80 or so years, performed by everyone from Lawrence Welk, Bing Crosby and Gene Autry to Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson and Low. This version took my breath away. Producer Dave Cobb (known for his work with WGOM favorites Sturgill Simpson & Jason Isbell as well as Shooter Jennings and Stapleton) put together a compilation album this year called Southern Family which is where this tune can be found.
I heard an even cleaner performance of this on Fallon last month, but I could not find it online.
(3 votes, average: 8.67 out of 10)Loading... Young Thug's Jeffery was my favorite album of 2016, and Harambe was my favorite song. To me it's a perfect embodiment of the year that was... a bipolar drumbeat of aggression that's also a gasping, heartfelt paean to love, all in honor of one of the year's most prominent memes... it's perfect.

(2 votes, average: 9.00 out of 10)Loading... As the year goes on, I keep finding myself coming back to Psychopomp. It's an album that is over way too fast, but it's impactful over that short running time. I'm glad I got to see them this summer. They were killer live. I have another song below the cut because the video is awesome.
