2017 In Aspic - Episode 1
Welcome to Episode 1 of 2017 In Aspic. This series is a collection of songs that have appeared in this blog over the current year. It will conclude with a "best of" episode in late December. My hope is that this will afford readers an opportunity to listen these songs in a steady, curated stream.
The title "2017 In Aspic" is taken from a song titled 1970 In Aspic that was released by Robyn Hitchcock earlier this year. I really dig the visual imagery of time being trapped in a pork-based gelatin. Very British.
This first mix is largely upbeat indie and alternative tunes, with a detour into a bit of blues and jazz.
I hope you enjoy the series. Here is the playlist:
