I was at a show last night and the person next to me was singing along to every word of every song. While that in and of itself is not a crime (maybe a bit of moderation mighta been nice?), this person also couldn’t have found the right key with GPS. Is there anything at a concert that absolutely drives you nuts when someone near you does it?

Every once in while I get this overwhelming "why don't I listen to this band more?" feeling. I'm currently having this moment with TVOTR. They're awesome. Why don't I listen to them more? Any TVOTR fans out there? Please share your favorite songs?

Let’s share some playlists! I know we already do this in some form or another across this board, but thought it might be fun to kind of centralize it. Here’s what I’m thinking, based on a group I used to run IRL. Once every three months, I’ll set up a thread calling for mix submissions. It’ll stay open for a month, and anyone that wants to drop a mix is free to do so. My promise to you is that I will listen to every mix, just please keep the lengths sensible since the point here is sharing. That’s the crux of it. So let’s start here. Drop a playlist you’ve made in the comments… could be your latest mix, could be your favourite mix, could be a custom mix for this project. You do you. There are no rules, apart from being kind to one another, which seems a baseline for this place anyway. In future maybe we pick custom themes for these or implement some kinda structure but let’s start it easy. P.S. If any of you wanna make or send me actual mixtapes I’ll take ‘em. DM me and I’ll happily shoot you an address.

This morning on Early I heard Eva say she didn't have a Friday song but if she did it would be Loverboy "Working for the Weekend".. Got me thinking what my Friday song would be.. What would your's be?

So one thing I’ve gotten into over the last few years is making a song-a-day mix. I got the idea from ex-MTV host Dave Holmes, and all you do is pick one song each day… something you hear, something you think of, something tied to an event/news item/personal milestone, etc. and you just keep building over 365. At the end of each year (or each month, even) not only do you have a sweet - and often very random! - mix but afterwards you can look back on it and re-live the time… be it “oh yeah, that’s the day I watched ____” or “I was out at my local and this song just hit the moment perfectly!” Just sharing in case anyone here wants to give it a go moving forward! Or maybe you do it too? If anyone is interested, here’s how my year started (and, yes, thank you @John Richards for more than a couple of these!) https://music.apple.com/ca/playlist/01-january-2026/pl.u-b3b84WNUbAvLP https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6LhKcbjOy0CkY4mJFazeCT
