The first full day of Summer seems like a good day to share my 8th Summer Playlist. Lots of eras and genres represented this year:

At the end of October I thought my top ten albums of 2024 were pretty well set. The Cure, Father John Misty and Kendrick Lamar had other ideas.

Harlan Coben
Greil Marcus

Several (Irving, Macdonald, Hiassen, Christgau, Christie) at 8-9.
