A relatively acute case of underblogging - Best of the blog mix 2020.

Well, it wasn't my intention of going the entire week without sharing any fresh, vintage tunes, but at the very least I was planning on my latest annual compendium, which is usually get to early in January than this.  Hopefully this will be the exception and not the rule.  Needless to say I didn't partake in as much record shopping this year as I normally do.  While we can chalk that up to a one very obvious (and tragic) aspect, I've accumulated so much stuff over the past few years that I really didn't have an excuse for being so slack in posting entries.  Hard to say what 2021 might hold, but content-wise thus far I've been less than generous - but hopefully I'll be turning the corner on that soon. 

The 26 songs occupying the folder that you may opt to capture to your hard disk of choice, are arranged loosely at best, with most of the more fun, less heady selections occupying the first quarter, with the last quarter placing the emphasis on the opposite tenor, you might say.  What's in between varies in terms of mood/mode/modus operandi, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions. I'm pressed for time to elaborate on any particular titles, though I plan on attaching links to the original artist entries, if not later today, soon.  As usual I've tossed in a handful of previously unshared kernels that are noted with an asterisk.  Speaking of which, I'm looking for a quality rip of Ghost Of An American Airman's Some Day LP from 1988.  I'm assuming few copies made it to mainland America from the band's native Ireland.  At any rate, dig in.
