Calc's Cool Cuts 2016
Loosely rank list of shit I liked or kind of liked. Life has been fantastic to me this year, promotions, new opportunities including getting accepted into my dream career (not my dream agency yet), wife ain't pissing me off yet, general cool stuff but with all that comes no time to look into music like years past. Hope someone finds something they like here. |
