Now, I don't honestly expect most people to sit down and play all twelve hours here. But I figured the playlist was worth sharing for a couple of reasons. For one, even if you just try a few things here, you're bound to hear something great. You could hit shuffle and easily land on a fantastic song, and maybe find a favourite new artist. It also serves a testament to how much excellent music is being made today, if someone with my fussy, idiosyncratic tastes can find this much I enjoy.
This wraps up my series of better-late-than-never posts on the many incredible records made in 2017. My feet are now planted firmly in 2018...or, well, realistically probably more like 1968 most of the time. But I will try to keep posting lots of great new music in addition to the vintage stuff I love. One benefit of these musical excursions I've been on is I'm now following many more contemporary artists and labels, so hopefully I'll be posting more new releases (mainly in The Listening Booth from now on).

I admit, I did go a little nuts here! There's just so much good new music around. Perhaps with this longer one, you could just try a few random things, and dip it into more of it now and then over time ;).
