Faves of 2021 (Vol. 1)

Gotta say, these first number of months in 2021 have renewed my hope that things are slowly finding a new normal out there. At least in terms of new music, there's been a wealth of awesome stuff to pick from. It almost allows me to forget that there's a threat of a 3rd wave, plus an array of variants coming down the pike. Almost. And honestly, I'm not sure if we should be forgetting. There's rebuilding to do, restructuring, rethinking... and so much lost that needs to be remembered. But, at least, for the length of time it takes to play 26 faves we can all escape into simple appreciation.

RIP Gerry-Jen Wilson

Thanks for this. Really love your mixes. If you'd ever want to go to the trouble of re-upping some past ones I'd appreciate it muchly. So far I'm missing: Covers Project Vol. 18, Faves of 2012 (Vol. 2), Faves of 2012 (Vol. 3), Faves of 2016 (Vol. 3), UHM Best of 2014, Best of the Best of 2009.

I think I just re-upped all of the ones you mentioned. I'm sure there's others missing as well, so thanks for keeping me posted!
