Beyond Radio is the place where music discovery and music nostalgia collide. It is your one-stop source for playlists, music charts, remembrances and recommendations. Our Podcast and music therapy playlists combine elements of nostalgia and discovery, while my blog entries reflect on our musical past through the lens of my personal charts from decades past. I weave a story that includes the connection between artists, chart facts and personal anecdotes that hopefully conjure a connection to the soundtrack of your own life. The current charts and playlists are updated monthly or bi-monthly (bi-weekly for the BR250) and are curated based on a passionate audience that produce their own personal charts weekly.
The BR250 for June is posted. Other charts should be forthcoming. Between the party and a couple of mini vacations this month (and my birthday at the end of July) it will most likely be August before things are back up to speed. Always seems to be similar each year.
This year however I am looking at a focus shift by the fall. I’ll still be tracking new music but perhaps in a somewhat different way. I need to put more emphasis on the Podcast and that mix of old and new may become more prevalent on the site. In addition I need to allow more time for taking care of myself. I will be 58 this year and I am feeling the lack of exercise in a way i haven’t in a while.
As for the party it was a great weekend as always and the 1989 countdown was definitely a hit and the swapping game was totally fun to watch unfold. Here are the 2 charts, the current year and the revamped 89 music list.
