Seems like the half-way point is upon us and I suppose that necessitates reflection. It doesn't seem like half a year's gone by already but maybe that's a good sign of music making the time go by quicker. Lots of new RSTB faves and plenty from our past haunts making the cut here. These definitely spent the most time on the turntable and in the headphones.
