Faves of 2023 Vol. 2

It seems as soon as I open my mouth about the impending end of rock 'n' roll or the rock era (or some other such nomenclature denoting the narrow purview of whats-I-likes 'n' whats-I-don'ts), the artists themselves show up in droves to prove either my point is wrong or my timing sucks. This mix is a case in point. It's filled with some of the best songs I've heard in ages. I've been road testing it in my car for the last couple weeks and noticed a couple things: a) every song rewards multiple listens, and b) keep an eye on your speedometer because a few of these tunes just plain don't respect reasonable speed limits. Anyway, if this is the reaction to my rockaroll doomsaying, I'll have to keep on bitching. In the nonce, I hope y'all are enjoying the summer!
