Yesterday's pick is an artist I found because of my love of today's pick. For me, Icehouse is one of my best memories of music from the 80's. Here is Crazy by Icehouse. (all songs on that album - Man of Colours - are classics)

Getting tired of still seeing stupid yard signs in my neighborhood, so I created a new t-shirt.

Wearing something like this is at your own risk, of course. But personally, I think once I receive mine, I'll be walking the dog a bit more.

Code's eclectic music pick of the day is:

A song from one of my favorite bands to start the new year with some energy.

Love and pain, engage your senses
And let them carve the way
Give me focus
Sharpen my view - Initiate
Live here and now
And forever or never

Here is Initiate by Haken

My New Year's Resolution is to stop putting my foot in my mouth and then getting myself into socially awkward situations.

And your resolution is -- don't tell me, let me guess -- to lose some weight and get in shape?

Code's eclectic music pick of the day is:

Something relaxing for New Year's day - a lot of us probably need it. But tomorrow, something more... metallic. Here is Popsicle Toes by Michael Franks.

Since it's the last day of 2022, I thought I'd choose just one of my previous daily picks to share again. If you've never watched this video, here's your chance to witness the genius of Tigran Hamyasan. This performance still gives me chills at certain points when I listen to it. Happy New Year!

First saw this guy on one of the all-time best comedies (The IT Crowd). I still can't see him without picturing the character he played on that show, but here is the catchy, breezy tune Medicine by Matt Berry.
