Difficult Listening Hour 2020.07.04: America 2020 Edition

To celebrate All Countries Matter day, a (somewhat cynical) genre-spanning selection of songs for the Fourth of July.

If you’re American and will be 18 or older in November: Make sure you’re registered to vote, and vote this November. We could be so much better than we are right now.

As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts on Thursday nights. These are the results.

Sounds From the Lost Abbey 09

Back in February, I took up a challenge from one of my friends (prompted by the Gigs mix I posted) to create a mix based around songs that I’d have played at the Lost Abbey, during the mid- to late-1990s.

Since 14 hours is far too long to do as a single mix, I’ve broken the requests up into multiple 80-ish-minute playlists. Here’s the ninth in the series!
