Sorting Through Browser Tabs: YHWH Nailgun, blackwinterwells, Historically Fucked, Lori Goldston & Greg Kelley, Harmonious Thelonious, Anna B. Savage, loscil // lawrence english, Sarah Pagé

So, that's another November billed and submitted for review.

It's early 12/1 and I'm an hour into the workday, taking healthy swigs from a lukewarm large cup of 7-11's finest blend and struggling to stay focused on any task that needs to be handled and completed today. Focus has been a problem, something I mean to fix this coming year. Due to the frequent interruptions and fire drills I'll experience over the course of a day, the need for me to pivot at a moment's notice often leaves me unable to keep track of my prior tasks. I'll repeat steps and miss others. It's yet another boundary that I need to be able to set and communicate to workplace peers: "Yes, I'll take care of that in a minute, but please let me finish what I'm working on." 

I'm turning 46 in 20 days. You'd think I'd have my shit together at this point.

In line with getting ones shit together, "Best Of"s and "Favorites Of"s lists are being considered and authored throughout the virtual musicsphere, my own selections undergoing constant scrutiny. Second guessing myself quite a bit, but I'll have it published in the coming weeks. Also, I'll be visually running through some picks on TikTok and Instagram. 

I'm hoping this month you have the opportunity to laugh with sincerity, enjoying time with worthwhile people. 

I'm also hoping you have the opportunity to check out some new songs I listened to this week. 

Enjoy.
