on the inside: 2024, as heard by Joshua.

LINER NOTES
-----------

I have spent much of this year in ways that are very different than I have
in the past.  One thing that hasn't changed, though, is that I have spent a
good bit of time listening to music.  Where I do it has changed -- walking,
rather than cycling; at home, rather than at the club.  But either way, it
has remained constant that bits and pieces of what I listen to have lodged
themselves in me.

Over the past few years, I have found myself more aware of the projections
that people around me cast on me -- and, occasionally, if I am so lucky, of
the projections that I cast on them.  I have a mixed relationship with these
projections: they often reveal things about me or others that I wouldn't
have had access to otherwise, but on the other hand, I sometimes find myself
frustrated that what is projected onto me can be so bright as to temporarily
blind the reality of who I am.

In each of these yearly mixes, I get to do more of the enjoyment of
projecting -- in both directions.  Whatever I hear in this mix is probably
not entirely what the artists of each song wrote; what I hear reflects me,
too.  And whatever you hear in this might or might not reflect the moments
that made up my year.  All three of us -- the original artists, me, and you
-- get to be in it together, though, whether we like it or not.  With some
luck, we'll each find something new in ourselves, and maybe even in each
other.

Please find below the soundtrack to my 2024.
