I expanded the list a bit this year. Having designed and launched my first board game, I began tracking some tabletop games I’ve played. I’ve also tried to include live entertainment, events, and expos. I added separate categories for theatrical performances, events, and concert experiences. I also noticed when breaking down the TV list for this post, it appears I definitely missed a bunch of episodes when logging.
As usual, I don’t rank anything. I give a 1 – 10 star rating when I’m logging. You might be able to find them if you dig deep into the visualization drill-downs, but they aren’t that interesting or consistent.
Music
One Live Show – Mitski – with my daughter.
My listening apps are still spread across multiple platforms: YouTube for DJ sets (primarily while writing), Downcast for podcasts, and a mix of Apple Music and Spotify for general listening. Pandora remains unmatched for algorithmic radio, while SomaFM.com hosts my favorite internet stations. This makes my year-end music data/wrap incomplete and impractical. But here’s my Spotify top 100 anyway. (still think the kids are hijacking it…)
Also, at home, we’ve made a big push to listen to vinyl on weekends when we hang out. Full albums. Retro-fun – obviously not tracked here… yet.
Here’s a handful of DJs, Clubs, and labels I go to for long sets.
