Every month, I put together a mix of new music<\/a>. Some of it’s just new to me, or even just rediscovered music, and I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now. Sometimes I get a bit carried away, but I have fun doing it. And I have fun sharing those mixes, on occasion, with others.<\/p>\n

      Believe me, even winnowing that down to 30 songs, on two discs, was a challenge. And, although it’s really sort of a Christmas song, and therefore a week too late, I just really<\/i> like this song from Tim Minchin, “White Wine in the Sun.” It seems like a good note to end on for the year.<\/p>\n
