Music has remained an everyday part of my life since first being exposed to the Beach Boys, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Abba, and Technotronic as a young boy and later Metallica, Nirvana, Green Day, Snoop Dog, and The Prodigy as an adolescent. In my late teens, I took a liking to classical, jazz, country, Elvis and much in between.

To this day, I enjoy listening to pop with my kids and dance music by myself, even dabbling as an amateur recording artist, cover artist, “battle of the bands” reject, and bedroom DJ (both house and dubstep) at times. Next to cinema, I consider music the greatest form of art.

Usually I’m too busy enjoying music both new and old that I fail to promote the best of it beyond those within immediate earshot. Today I hope to remedy that, at least according to the many airwaves that have reverberated in my home, eardrums, and car recently. They are as follows:

• Don’t Ever Let ‘Em & 123456 by Fitz and The Tantrums
• Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus
• 100 Bad Days by AJR
• Wow by Post Malone
• Cool Your Battles by Band of Skulls (plus 80% album)
• Fast Talk by Houses
• High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco
• I Don’t Belong In This Club by Why Don’t We & Macklemore
• Move On by Mike Posner (Awesome video!)
• Needy by Ariana Grande (fun album)
• There’s a Reason Why by Blossoms
• Around The World by Jai Wolf
• Bluebird by Alexis Ffrench
• Jerusalem, New York, Berlin by Vampire Weekend (plus entire album)
