Here’s [edit] radios 2015 (and first) recollection mix, featuring 80 tracks across a bunch of genres and podcasts from the year. This post originally started life as a rundown of my 50 best tracks for 2015, during which I planned to write a few thoughts about each song and list them in some order of quality.
Now while I have made pretty large inroads into the aforementioned list (and some will see the light of day here on the blog), I’ve come to realise that it’d end up being a of 6,000 word behemoth that few would read. So instead, I decided to put together this mix of the tracks into 3 discs that recall the songs that really represented the year in both a personal and a wider sense.
Thanks to all of you who have downloaded and listened to any one of our podcasts over the past year, and here’s to another year of podcasts and (if time allows) blog posts too.
