Thanks so much again to everyone for all of the great tunes and a fun week. No accompanying writeup this week, as I have not much to say about the listings – I just went with what sounded good. Which i hope is OK for this topic. In lieu, there are a couple of extra lists. Even so, there was far, far, far too much left on the cutting room floor. Thanks again!
