P. Bear’s Hit Parade – A Special Top 40 Episode

P. Bear’s Hit Parade – A Special Top 40 Episode

On July 24th Yours Truly will have released 100 songs (including the bonus tracks available on CD and iTunes–see song index) in this calendar year!

Over the weekend I took some time to select my own top 40 from the first six months/albums. I didn’t think too hard about it. I’m sure if I did it again I would favor a few others over what’s here. Anyway, I made a 46 minute memoir mix for an enhanced podcast episode. Incidentally, there are four bonus tracks which made the cut (the last two have not yet been released–a little teaser for the hard-core fans, I guess).

I hope that if you enjoy this you won’t hesitate to support me with a purchase from the shop or iTunes. (I take special joy in mailing out the box sets, personally.)

*note: On the afternoon of Sunday the 15th the iTunes app would crash when trying to download an iteration of this file. It was a bizarre phenomenon that was tricky to troubleshoot. I temporarily removed this post, but everything seems smooth now. Go figure. I plan on letting Apple know about it, for what it’s worth.
