My Favorite Albums, Shows & CYY Songs of 2015
Well, I was away for a bit. So this is overdue. I always forget one or two or ten, but I think I got most of them.
These are in no order. That's not easy for me. Just rounding up the suspects is tough enough. Between CYY and Spinout and being a music collector, I have my mitts on a lot of music every year so it's tough to recall them all.
Like I mention every year, due to my involvement and closeness to the local music scene, I keep them out of these lists to be cool.
I think you'll enjoy though. And hey, if you see something that perks your interest or you can't rmember, look it up. Maybe you'll find some new favorites of your own.
