if i’m honest, i don’t love the name, but the old name (quickfire round, for the real og’s among you) didn’t really work, as it isn’t quick, or on fire. it’s not even round. what it is is 5 whole hours of big songs that i’ve been collecting all year. these are the ones from the top of the reviews where i throw a few extra tracks your way in case that weeks review isn’t quite enough. not the apex of listening, that being the best of the year or the reviews playlist coming next week. but definitely great stuff, which i’ve been vibing to all day today. i hope you will too!
eagle eyed among you might’ve spotted that i changed the running order slightly on what was coming this month. and i did, and i did it on purpose! i figured i’d give you all a bit more time to get in on piecing together that whole best of the year playlist (which is here btw) and i’m delighted to say that playlist is now half and half newsletter writter and subscriber submitted. let’s get that to 3/4’s shall we? send your track in when you complete the survey!
p.s. don’t forget, prize draw for a record is also still active for those who submit the survey, t&c’s reminder below:
must fill out the entire survey
answers must be real (e.g. no just writing aaaa in the text boxes, real answers only)
winner picked on 31/12/2025, answers submitted after this date won’t count
winner announced on the first issue of the new year
1 survey submission per subscriber
next week is the last week of playlist madness, with the review round up, all the submitted tracks, and a merry christmas.
