It’s been 60+ degrees this week so I haven’t been thinking much about the upcoming holidays.  However, my favorite post every year is the Press’ end-of-the-year collection of staff favorites.  Spoiler alert: Joanna Newsom remains #1 on my favorite CD list.

Colleagues, begin compiling your lists.  Until the results are posted, enjoy perusing my iTunes easy listening mix. Wow, that is one collection of uncool. But, listen to a Bee Gees song (above) which I bet you’ve never heard.
