kites can't jive 2022 recap

This was a weird year in music for me. Lotta stuff early on I liked, less so as the year progressed.

I stopped listening to new music and that was a drain. RRR, a community radio station near me, provided some great recommendations but it wasn’t enough to keep me grooving by itself. (That and I didn’t shazam everything I loved the sound of.)

Really, I can trace some of my downswing to using Apple Music again instead of Albums (my Apple Music client of choice). Albums has a dedicated feed for new releases from artists in your library. That makes it a much more reliable source for new releases than whatever Apple Music’s trying to do.

Or, hell, maybe I just wasn’t all that into music in 2022. That could be it too. But I did love some stuff. So here it is.
