And I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t already sketched out drafts for a 90s list, an 80s list, a 50s list, and a 20s list, but there’s another music-writing project I want to get to in the meantime, and
both I and my boss think I need to get more sleep.

Enjoy the new year, everyone, until something happens which makes it just another year.
