Welcome

This is the newly rebuilt Five Random Songs: chock full of posts, each featuring five random songs from my collection of music. Along with some other junk. Everything is tagged by artist. Poke around some, it’s been here since 2017. Starting in 2026, I shifted to twice-weekly posts with a little longer format. If you want to keep up, you can use RSS, sign up for email, or follow me on Bluesky.

I’ll only find out if those fixes worked after this publishes. Well, the RSS feed does work, I checked that. But the email, we’ll just have to find out.
