Sorry folks, but no full 31 Days this year. I just don’t have it in me. Hope to be back for 2024, but I honestly don’t know.

With that said, there was still a ton of good music released this year and I still have my annual 31 Days mix for your listening pleasure.

I’ll leave with you a few highlights for me. A few songs that really stood out and resonated with me this year. So until next time, keep listening, keep discovering, and keep enjoying the great gift of music.

Is a little bit of your touch

(31) Days of Good//12.1.18

Technically a 2017 release, but it dropped at the end of the year and I wasn’t able to feature it during 31days2017. It’s a shame I missed the opportunity to feature it last year, but this song is too good to completely pass over and i’m happy to kickoff 31days2018 with this excellent single.

♩ Solar Estates – Tonight [single]
[solarestates.bandcamp.com]

This track is super fun. The build up is addictive and I can’t help but sing and dance along to this track with every listen.

♩ Ezra Furman – Love You So Bad [from Transangelic Exodus]
[ezrafurman.com]

I mean this in the best, possible way. I hope a new Pitch Perfect movie so the Bellas will perform as their inevitable, show stopping final number.

♩ CHVRCHES – Get Out [from Love is Dead]
[chvrch.es]

Another fantastic 2017 release that I missed. Stunning. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Everything you expect from a Sufjan track.

♩ Sufjan Stevens – Mystery of Love [from Call Me By Your Name]
