For this edition of Twofer Tuesday, I decided to countdown (I use that term very loosely) some of my top played songs this year that didn’t quite make the cut for the top 10 but are also fantastic songs that deserve many more spins.
First up is Awolnation, though they did make it into the top 5 of my most listened to artists this past year, they didn’t quite make it to top 5 song status. But I also got a special message (and other Awolnation fans too, but we’re not gonna focus on that) from Aaron Bruno expressing gratitude and a little bit of back story behind the meaning of their single Barbarian.
In our second hour we crossed paths with an artist that may or may not be new to you but it’s a song that is not only on my running playlist but also was my super vibe towards the end of the year 2023, just before blasting out of SD and making the journey to Delaware. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because this artist was also a Featured Friday song with one of his other songs.
I said it on the air and I will say it again, when I was teasing the next Twofer on this Tuesday, it could very well be an IYKYK thing but IK and YK that YK exactly what it was gonna be. This is the follow up single to his first popular hit.
WHAT? There’s more? Yes, indeed. We crammed a bunch of new tunes and regular spins into this show today! And also tried to touch on as many musical aspects of the show as we could. You know them from WTF Wednesday, but this next tune is definitely a song that will make you put on your dancing shoes and have fun! This is your shoe check!
Alright, alright, we finally made it to the FINAL twofer newfer of the day. And this song isn’t new except in the context of new to you, it was the straw that broke the camels back that took me from just pleasantly putting up with this band to actually going, “You know what, they got IT.” And similar to the IYKYK IYAZ, their name is just two words that fit together like a slot machine (apparently).
