This is My Favorite Song

“Magic Dance” by David Bowie from Labyrinth (1986).

The ol’ blog turns 4 years old today.

That’s well over 1,200 songs and to be honest, I may be running out of steam (for example: since 2008, I’ve posted 17 Wilco songs). I’m not quite ready to shut the whole operation down, but I’ve decided to go into semi-retirement (y’know, Jay-Z style). I’d rather only post a song when I have one I really want to share so you know it’s a good one. Yes, “The Slowest Radio Station in The World” just got a little slower. In the meantime, don’t forget that the This is My Favorite Song site has an mp3 player at the bottom where you can stream all 1,200+ of my favorite songs.

I somehow gained a decent number of followers over the past 4 years. I just want to say thank you for listening and I hope you found (and will continue to find) something new.
