Happy New Year! I hope you were able to find some comfort and joy during the holidays. On this installment, I take one last look back on some of my favorite music of 2020. I selected tracks from the lists of albums, cassettes, and reissues and archival releases that I posted on the Free Form Freakout website a few weeks back. I had included 62 different titles in that post, so needless to say, I wasn’t able to cover everything over the course of two hours, but I did try to select mostly shorter tracks just to cover as much ground as possible. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
