Top 10 Songs of 2023

Favorite Songs:

Ruston Kelly - "The Weakness"

This was my second most played song on Spotify — after Blink-182’s "One More Time" and since he's a Blink fan too, I think he'd be cool with that.

Billie Eilish - "What Was I Made For"

It was used so beautifully in The Barbie Movie that I still tear up whenever I hear it.

Bleachers - "Modern Girl"

I have a Bleachers tattoo and I think that just about sums it up.

Devon Gilfillian - "Love You Anyway"

The subject matter is so important and it's been a pleasure watching him grow as an artist over the years.

Joy Oladokun - "We're All Gonna Die"

Joy popped up on my radar at Newport Folk Fest in 2022 and my spouse and I have been in love with her ever since.

Lucy Dacus - "Kissing Lessons"

Lucy's from Virginia and I lived there for 7 years so I'll always have a soft spot for her.

MUNA - "The One That Got Away"

I saw them at SXSW in 2016, it was the first "real" show they'd ever played so file them under: Bands I'm So Proud Of.

Jean Dawson - "Pirate Radio"

Anyone who plays the When We Were Young fest gets an A+ in my book.

The Gaslight Anthem - "History Books"

I named my dog after a Brian Fallon song, so...

Talk - "Run Away To Mars"

The first time I heard this song I was as blown away as I was the first time I ever heard Hozier's, "Take Me To Church" and that is saying a lot.
