Faves of 2023 Vol.3

 

Well, that was a record-setting period of dormancy for this blog. Apologies to all followers, artists, and visitors. The lone bright spot to my neglect is there's already an Orphans mix that's 70% completed - and there's still the Best of 2023 to compile before then.

This Faves mix is the first time I've organized the running order of the tracks based mostly on volume levels. You''ll notice the playback volume increases as the mix goes on - and do consider that a warning if you dare to play on shuffle. I'm not sure why some albums push everything in the red until eardrums bleed while others sound like all the mics were positioned under wet cattle blankets, but it's becoming a pet peeve of mine. And, yeah, I'd be prepared to upgrade from peeve to crusade, but I suspect the chances of changing anything are equal to a dog catching a snowflake.
