BwGN AM Mixtape #73 – The one where we look back on 2018 (rebroadcast)

In 2018, I made 50 Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtapes for you, playing 1,217 total tracks.I duplicated songs only 30 times, so you heard 1,187 different songs. The music was by 686 different artists, 38% of whom I played more than once. The most frequently played bands or musicians were:

      1: Tierra Whack
      2: Jolie Holland / Kronos Quartet
      3: Broken Social Scene / Low
      4: Laura Veirs
      5: Catherine Wheel / Meernaa / St. Vincent / Soccer Mommy

There were thousands, maybe millions of albums released last year, and I heard only a small fraction, but here are songs from 33 of my favorites in no particular order. I hope you enjoy.
