[Monthly ‘Nac Tracks Playlist] January 2019
Posted on February 2, 2019 at 7:45 pm | No Comments
Maintaining a single, shareable monthly playlist of new songs is an impossibility at this point. Too many labels have decided that YouTube (and their terrible playlist-sharing/formatting design) is their preferred way to premiere new tracks, some have thankfully stuck with Soundcloud, and still others just do the Spotify thing. So I end up bouncing between all three, adding new songs when they show up and strike me. If only Bandcamp would just cave and add playlist functionality already, things would be a hell of a lot simpler. Stopped holding my breath for that a long time ago, though.
Here’s what grabbed me during the first month of 2019. Soooo many songs. Click the headers to open them on their native platforms.
