For seven years I posted a year-end list of 100 favorite songs on Tumblr. This year it’s on my own website. So are the old lists, if you click here.
Bye again.

I suppose I might as well say this formally: if you want to catch up with what I’m thinking and doing, you’ll have to follow me on Twitter or see what’s going on at my new website. I’ll probably turn on the blogging function there at some point.
Sorry new followers, you’re not getting any more cool image posts from old comics out of this account.
Reminder, if you’re still following this account, that it’s elsewhere.

I suppose at some point I should write a post wrapping up this blog.
100 Songs, 2017.
A Tumblr list of music from a year when I barely listened to new music and barely used Tumblr. Most of my 2017 was dominated by a return to reading books, which I have never been able to do while listening to pop music: if I can’t my give full attention to it, I generally do without.
Doing without has been the major theme of my late thirties. I turned 40 at the end of the year: past time, no doubt, to get serious and stop emotionally investing in what is indisputably a young person’s game. But pop, especially global pop, keeps pulling me back. And honestly at this point I might as well finish out the decade.
E. F. Benson, Dodo Wonders (1921)
From the third book in Benson’s series about a flighty (what a later age would call ditzy) socialite, almost forty years after her first appearance in the Gay Nineties. It is supposed to be amusing that a middle-aged matron has such flapper tastes, but as a condensation of everything that modernism meant, it’s as shrewd as you can make it.
