For anybody that wants to know more about what I do… Here’s a stupidly massive playlist of everything I’ve played on my radio show on WDVX since April of 2020. It’s a pretty solid “set to random” playlist, I think.

It is my belief that Scott McCaughey is maybe the hardest working musician in the biz. Tons of projects. Tons of output.

Here’s a new Young Fresh Fellows tune with Neko Case(!).

Recording a three hour radio show while also nursing a lingering cough brought on by a Holiday sinus infection is not the super fun time you might think...

The finished product will still sound... ok... but editing this thing is gonna be hell.

I have podcast homework…

It’s kind of exciting.

Home to visit family for the holidays… forgot to pack pants.

And that, dear readers, is how I wound up clothes shopping at an Eastern Kentucky Wal-Mart in my pj’s on Christmas Eve morning.

Trying to finish this up today...
Gonna share a few albums (10 or so) over the next few days.

Some that are favorites of the year… Some that were overlooked… Some that were important…

Top 10? I don’t know. But, certainly 10 worth highlighting.
