A new month, a new week, a new Music Monday. What new John Mayer song will make an appearance? Will Arcade Fire hold on to the top spot for the second week in a row? Can Nathaniel Rateliff regain what was lost one week ago? What’s my record for consecutive questions asked??

If I’m listening to crap – which is likely – let me know. If I should be listening to something else – let me know. I’d offer to listen to a CD if you had it, but I’m pretty sure they don’t exist anymore.
Without further ado, here are my top ten songs of the week. Continue reading “Music Monday: September 14, 2015”
