The world is a hard place, and aren’t we all so grateful to have music to make it a little more bearable!

I am WOUB’s Arts and Culture producer, and what a year it has been to be an arts and culture producer! While I usually spend the summer running around all sweaty pretending it is somehow an enormous inconvenience to attend multiple music festivals for free, this summer I spent almost entirely indoors, working on my phone interview and audio and video production capabilities.

Cutler Station – Meat, No Sides 

Dougie Poole – Freelancer’s Blues

Incredible String Band – Relics of the Incredible String Band 

Judee Sill – Judee Sill 

Alex Cameron – Miami Memory 

Dan Deacon – Mystic Familiar 

Ken Stringfellow – Touched 

Fleetwood Mac – Rumours (Super Deluxe) 

The Beach Boys – Wild Honey 

Mac DeMarco – Old Dog Demos 

Here’s my ultimate 2020 playlist:
