S2L2A3: JAV, 2016: Holding On

Here is my 2016  “Again and Again”  compilation,  holding on to a 
few  favorite  songs  from  2015 -  and, sadly, growing up and away 
from  WXRT.  I  still like you,  93,  but none of these were on your 
playlist!  All the more reason to make note of what catches our ear.

Three reasons why these are off the air:  1.  Be  advised, there are a
few R-rated tracks here (3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16).  2. Be open, and
check  out  what’s  being  played elsewhere on the dial  (7, 11, 12).
3. Be adventurous, there is good music down untrodden paths!

Finally,  note  that  I’ve  cheated  on one track that really belongs to 
2016,  but  it’s  a worthy exception:  David Bowie’s Girl Loves Me, 
released on January 8 of this year, his birthday and two days before 
he died, on a Sunday.  Holding on. Where the f*** did Monday go?
