RoCM New Year’s Eve Playlist: 31 Dec 2022
As promised, here’s a photo of the bumper sticker that I mention during the show. I picked it up here if you are interested. I like it so much that I’m a bit hesitant to actually put it on a car, but if there’s one place where it belongs, it’s on the back of a vehicle on Long Island.
So for me, New Year’s Eve is a a holiday that I actually quite enjoy – yet another reason to spend time with friends to celebrate surviving another year on this tainted, distantly cold rock that is meaninglessly hurling through the empty void of space until the sun inevitably consumes the Earth in a fiery death of our solar system. And if that’s not cheery enough for you, read up on the heat death of the entire universe. Good times.
As my ever-so-cheery mother puts it, none of us get out of this alive. So yeah, I’ll take the little victories where I can.
And on the back of that dripping sentimentality, I just want to take a moment and thank you for listening to the show over the last year. It’s arguably one of the more rewarding radio experiences I’ve ever had so your ear time is much appreciated. And so for our last hurrah in 2022, here’s the playlist:
