for @eclipse.gay: CIRCULATE THE GOODS (Interlude) - Gavin Turek, because if I was making a Sapphicworld playlist I would put this on it

open.spotify.com/track/0LlCRJ...

for @naladraws.com: Evil Gal Blues - Aretha Franklin, for one of your favorite character types to play

open.spotify.com/track/7gPM5N...

a view from my seat also has pretty good Ahmanson data: aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/Ahmans...

caveat that I have not seen Paranormal Activity (yet) but used to work at CTG and have been to a lot of their shows : ) the balcony in the Ahmanson is pretty far back, it is not a great view, I would recommend mezzanine if you can swing it

for @wildwoodsgames.bsky.social: Abstract (Psychopomp) - Hozier, for you and Harvest and your attention to language in your writing generally

open.spotify.com/track/5XNOw5...

for @birdlord5000.bsky.social: Veteran - Doomtree (but it's really just Dessa), because you beat me to the punch submitting Shrimp for the song under one minute and thirty seconds round of music league

open.spotify.com/track/10o4Jv...

for @22to22.bsky.social: Outnumbered - Yugen Blakrok, Lee Scott, because I feel this could go on a songs for spindlewheel playlist (the layers upon layers of symbology and reference in her music is kind of unmatched)

open.spotify.com/track/162AdD...

for @kate.cishet.net: Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng (no instrumental track for you this year!), can't remember if we've talked about Vienna Teng but she's a remarkable pianist and live looper and this song has a levity and cleverness I think you'd love

open.spotify.com/track/4zbz1Z...

for @spiff-the-spaceman.bsky.social: Dangerous - Set It Off ← me whenever I ask you to do some crazy shit like build me a coffin and you're like "absolutely dude." also because I can always count on you to appreciate rock music with me

open.spotify.com/track/4daHyp...

yes! my 2025 got away from me but would really love to hang and game next year

for @littlekrazi.bsky.social: Three Words Away - Orla Gartland, even though our music tastes are often two ships passing in the night we will always have orla, fingers crossed we get to go to another one of her concerts in 2026

open.spotify.com/track/0DJJyO...

for @geostatonary.bsky.social: Arboretum - Sparkbird, because this song is Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine coded to me and I remain very grateful to have been a part of that game you ran

open.spotify.com/track/4zKYKo...

for @cytoclastic.bsky.social: True Dark - Murder by Death, since I was like "have you heard them" last october and you were like "many times, including in a cave" 💚

open.spotify.com/track/1OfWIk...

for @crabmoney.bsky.social: Brother of the Mayor of Bridgewater - World/Inferno Friendship Society, which is not swing music but does make me think of you and your swing dancing and has a storyteller quality to it that I think you would appreciate

open.spotify.com/track/7z9lU4...

for @corpserevivers.bsky.social: BUTCHER VANITY - FLAVOR FOLEY, which ended up being my fourth-most listened to song this year. thank you for introducing me to it.
