The 2024 Mix by Bex

Happy new year & happy half-birthday to two humans and one cat in my home! As usual, I'm sharing a mix of my favorite songs that were released in the last year as my January 1st party favor.
​
Lately I've been sharing a second sprawling playlist of other songs I loved, too, since I stick to an 80-minute limit on my favorites list as a callback to its origins as a burned CD. 
​
I hope there are some wide open spaces in your day today that might be filled with music for a while.
