12/21/19 - My Top Ten Favorite Albums of 2019
Sunday Dec 22, 2019
Sunday Dec 22, 2019
With only a few shopping days left before Christmas, I'm giving you 17 ideas of albums you could buy for the randos in your life by presenting my top 10 favorite albums of 2019 (plus some runners up). I think it's a pretty good list. Give it a listen and see if you agree, then leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite album or albums were this year!
Check out the blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com for photos and more stuff. (I realize I could do that here too, but for archival purposes I want to keep all that stuff in one place at the old blog.)
No time index this week since it's all just one subject, but the song I used transitioning out of the intro into the list is my song "Napalm" and it's available here for free.
Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This episode was a long time coming and I hope it's fun for everybody. It sure was for me. I talk about books by Penn Jillette, Paula Hawkins, Liz Moore, and Nick Hornby. I also talking about having seen Joker and the Downton Abbey movie. Then I talk about my recent listening including the new albums by The Who and Leonard Cohen, plus an introduction to what will soon be a recurring segment on Bob Dylan. It's a big show! Hope you enjoy it!
