An Upside Down look back at 2022

2022 has come & almost gone in a flash, and as the clocks ticks down I’m revelling in reflecting upon the year-in-music that was. I feel like I say this every year (probably because I do), but it really was a great year for music. The list below includes everything I couldn’t get enough of this year while listening in the car, at home, at work and programming live at KFAI.

Be sure to join me on the January 9 installment of Upside Down for a real-time recap of favorites on this list.

Thanks so much for making time to listen to Upside Down and for keeping KFAI near and dear.

Cheers to 2023!
