Today is my 17th anniversary on last.fm so it’s time I go back through the collected data and reflect on the music that soundtracked my 2023.
For me it was the first vaguely normal year since 2019, in terms of my interactions with the ‘outside world’. It was a complicated year, as they often are, with extended periods of extreme mental stress and physical exhaustion which definitely affected my musical choices. Often I actually chose to watch things (shows and background noise on Youtube) rather than listen to music. The last month or so I made a conscious effort to change that and sought out new music from the best of lists that helpfully were popping up at the time.
I know opinions on these kind of ‘wrapped’ summaries vary but I enjoy them and always check them out when I see them. So here’s a look at my favourite music from 2023.
